Enjoy your summer holidays at Saint Basil Olive Grove on the north west coast of Crete. Stay in one of four private villas among our 200 olive trees - over 5 acres (21,000 square metres).The safe sandy beach at Almyrida is only 2 km away, and the sleepy village of Gavalochori with tavernas & shops is a pleasant 12-15 minutes walk. In Winter, join us for the annual olive harvest! See the Greek island of Crete out-of-season when the tourists have gone home and the weather is still hot and the sea still warm enough to swim in. Also enjoy guided wildflower walks in the foothills of the White Mountains and Cretan cookery lessons,
