The Phaistos Villas were meticulously crafted by local artisans, using authentic materials to blend harmoniously with the landscape. Each villa is named after a figure from Greek mythology, embodying the spirit of the muse or nymph it represents. Villa Thalia, like its counterparts, offers both a private and communal experience for guests, with traditional Cretan architecture and thoughtfully designed interiors.
Perched near the village of Sivas, Phaistos Villas boasts panoramic views of the Messara Valley, the Psiloritis Mountain range, and glimpses of the sparkling Cretan Sea. The village of Sivas, with its rich history dating back to 1000 AD, offers a warm welcome and an authentic Cretan experience.
The complex is just 50 minutes from Heraklion International Airport “N. Kazantzakis” and approximately two hours from Chania Airport.
