Nearby the town of Galatas, there is an area called Palia Vrisi (Old Fountain). The region is named Palia Vrisi because years ago it contained an old fountain that the people of Galatas visited to secure water for themselves and their crops. Although the years have passed and the area no longer provides water for the village, the region still maintains a distinct and authentic atmosphere.

Our three villas are located in this special place, where the sea and the mountain breeze meet. The villas were carefully built to compliment the natural beauty of the surrounding area.They provide stunning views of the Gulf of Hania, the White Mountains, the city of Hania and the valley of Palia Vrisi. They contain a variety of trees, aromatic plants and bushes, as well as, various species of birds.

 
As the largest Greek island, Crete has a tremendous variety of sites and environments. Western Crete is gifted with the White Mountain range at its core. The winter snow of these mountains blesses western Crete’s with water supply not found in many similar biomes in the Mediterranean.

The lushness of Western Crete’s landscape and food variety stems from the White Mountain snow melt.  Spring visitors will see snowcapped peaks as they are on the beach.  Behind Old Fountain Villas there is a large lake (Lake Agia) with bird watching which all benefit from the ample water supply.
