Olivion Villas: A Small Development Among the Olive Groves
Each villa sits on its own plot, ranging from 460 to 670 square metres. The homes come as either ground-floor or two-storey designs, with two or three bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Interior space runs from 88 to 144 square metres. The plots give each house room to breathe, along with open views towards the sea and the hills behind.
The Villas: Cretan Character, Modern Comfort
Kyrianna is a protected traditional village. New construction must follow its historic character, so the villas are built with natural stone and earth tones that settle into the landscape. The result reads as part of the village rather than apart from it. Inside, the design is simple and practical. Living and dining areas open onto the kitchen, and large doors connect the indoor space to the terrace. Both single-level and two-storey layouts are available, so the homes suit year-round living as well as holiday use. Each villa has its own outdoor space. A 24 square metre pool sits beside a BBQ area and a wooden pergola for shaded dining. The houses are positioned to take in the sea views, with the olive groves and vineyards close by.
The Developer
Olivion Villas is the work of an architectural and construction firm that brings together architects, designers, and engineers on a single project. The aim is a careful balance of traditional appearance and modern building, with attention to the natural setting and to how each home is used day to day.
Kyrianna: A Village in the Hills Above Rethymno
Kyrianna is a traditional village in the hills above Rethymno. Stone-built houses, narrow lanes, and old churches give it a settled, characterful feel. The village has supermarkets, tavernas, restaurants, cafes, and a few shops, so everyday needs are covered without driving into the city. It is known across the region for the quality of its olive oil. Olive groves and vineyards surround the village, with walking and hiking routes through the hills.
The setting is quiet, but it is not remote. Rethymno and the coast are both within easy reach:
Both airports are within about an hour's drive, which makes the area straightforward to reach for owners arriving from abroad.
Rethymno and the Cretan Coast
Rethymno is one of Crete's most appealing towns. Its Venetian harbour, old town lanes, and long sandy coastline draw visitors through a long season, and the town keeps its own life through the winter too. There is a good mix of history, dining, and culture, which suits both a permanent move and a holiday base.
