Harkia Villas, Khárkia Overview
Harkia Villas is located in Khárkia, Greece. Rated 9.8 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Harkia Villas is a small villa stay in Khárkia, Greece, set along Epar.Od. Amariou - Scholis Asomaton, where the pace slows and the outdoors do most of the work. With a guest rating of 9.8/10 from five reviews, the strongest theme is how comfortable and easy the stay feels for everyday living, not just for sightseeing. Families and pet owners in particular seem to appreciate the practical setup, and travelers mention that the property’s garden and terrace areas make it simple to unwind between day trips.
The villas are a good base if you’re road-tripping around Rethymno and want both privacy and quick access to the region’s highlights. Rethymno Old Town is about 18 km away for Venetian-era streets and evening strolls, while Arkadi Monastery is roughly 25 km for a meaningful historical outing. If you want a day that mixes culture with views, the Venetian Harbour and Fortezza Castle sit in the same Rethymno orbit, around 18–19 km from the villas.
On-site, the outdoor swimming pool is a natural focal point, and air conditioning and heating help smooth out the weather swings. Free WiFi supports remote work or planning, and free parking makes arrival and movement around the area straightforward. Children are welcome, and pets are allowed, which is a big factor for many reviewers when choosing where to stay. Check-out is at 11:00 AM, so plan a relaxed final morning if you’re heading back toward Rethymno or continuing your drive along the coast.
