Troia Villas is a family-friendly stay in Vlichada, Balíon, Greece, set in the quieter coastal countryside of the Rethymno region.

For sightseeing, you can reach Livadi Beach in about 2 km for swimming and casual shoreline walks, while Arkadi Monastery is roughly 18 km away for a change of pace and a dose of Cretan history. Rethymno Town, around 20 km from Troia Villas, is where you’ll find the classic old-town streets and waterfront atmosphere, including the Venetian Harbour and Fortezza Castle.

Troia Villas is best for families and small groups who want space, flexibility, and a relaxed base near the coast rather than constant city movement. It also suits travelers who prefer non-smoking surroundings and appreciate on-site leisure like table tennis, plus massage services for downtime after exploring. If you’re traveling with pets, the property allows them, and offsite parking is available with discounted rates, which helps keep arrival and day trips straightforward. Check-in runs from 4:00 PM to midnight, so late arrivals are manageable, and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
