About Candia Park Village
Candia Park Village, in eastern Crete, embodies the soul and authenticity of a traditional Cretan village, with a sandy beach, a spacious pool, a lively main square, delicious Mediterranean flavors, and charming apartments just steps away from it all.
The Life of Simple Joy
For Greeks and Cretans, the idea of a village takes us back to our roots. It is a place that feels like home, where we return whenever we need time off. Every Greek village embodies simplicity, joy, protection, and a deep sense of community. In our village, we have the rare luxury of being completely ourselves.
At Candia Park Village, we bring this village feeling to life. We honor our heritage and for over 35 years we share it with all of you, creating bonds rooted in genuine care and moments of joy. This is our essence. Our team at Candia Park Village is sincere, warm, authentic, and hospitable. From our local hiring philosophy to our commitment to the environment, we support our community and respect the nature that surrounds us.
