Villa Irida is located right in the centre of the quiet little village of Psari Forada. It is a place ideal for relaxing and exploring the unknown and unexpected beauty of Southern Crete. The apartments are situated within a few meters from the sunny beach, so the visitors can enjoy the view of the deep blue Libyan Sea, the crystal clear water and the sandy beach. Guests can choose to enjoy daily breakfast at a charge. Villa Irida is a special place for people who want to escape and explore the wonderful countryside.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Villa Irida, located at Arkalochori, Heraklion Region, 70004, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Villa Irida, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Villa Irida are revisited so often.
