About Galaxy Villas
Located in the pretty village of Koutouloufari, the family-run Galaxy Villas are set within lush gardens and offer views of Hersonissos Bay.
The accommodation consists of a series of villas. These offer views of either the sea, mountains, or surrounding gardens. Inside, accommodation includes a fully-equipped kitchen area, air conditioning and television.
Galaxy Villas surround a central building, which contains the reception area, Internet corner, the dining room and bar. There is also a beautiful swimming pool.
Breakfast is continental style. À la carte Greek cuisine is served indoors or outdoors by the bar and restaurant. Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced and include the hotel’s own family’s organic olive oil.
The villas overlook Hersonissos town. This is one kilometre from the complex and takes three-quarters of an hour to walk. Aposelemi Gorge is a little farther taking fifteen-minutes to drive to. Heraklion airport is a twenty-five minute drive away.

Small Pool Area.

Limited Parking Facilities.
