Villa Balux, Kalamaki Heraklion Overview
Villa Balux is located in Kalamaki Heraklion, Greece. Rated 9.8 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Villa Balux is a standout stay in Kalamaki Heraklion, Greece, where the setting suits travelers who want space, privacy, and a slower rhythm between sightseeing days. Located at Καλαμάκι Ηρακλείου Κρήτης, the villa’s outdoor areas are a big part of the appeal, with a swimming pool and a hot tub/Jacuzzi for unwinding after time on the coast or in the city. Guests consistently praise the comfort and calm, and the very high guest rating of 9.8/10 (based on 7 reviews) points to a smooth, well-managed experience rather than a one-off good stay. Families and couples alike tend to mention how practical it feels to have air conditioning for warmer afternoons and non-smoking rooms for a restful night. The terrace and BBQ facilities also make it easier to eat outdoors without having to plan every meal around restaurants.
If you’re planning day trips, you can reach Knossos Palace in about 5 km, and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is roughly 7 km away for a deeper look at Crete’s history. Kalamaki Beach is around 1 km from the villa, so beach time is close enough to fit between errands or a late breakfast. For travelers who value accessibility, the property includes facilities for disabled guests.
Best for couples seeking privacy, and families who want room to spread out while staying within short distance of Heraklion’s main sights.
