In a magnificent seafront setting close to the charming village of Mochlos, Kalloni and neighbouring Melitina are without question the finest villas in our Crete portfolio. Luxurious and sophisticated, they can be booked independently or alternatively they present a wonderful opportunity for two families travelling as a group when booked together.
There’s an exhilarating sense of freedom as you leave the well-trodden path behind and descend towards Mochlos. And though not widely publicised, it attracts those in the know again and again, eager to enjoy its tantalising blend of old-school charm and first-class hospitality.
Kalloni sits in immaculate landscaped gardens leading down towards the sea, with areas of lawn and several spacious terraces for stretching out and drinking in the vista. Though there’s no direct sea access, it affords all the other privileges of its waterfront position; uninterrupted views across the water and the soothing sound of the waves as they break on the rocks beneath. Offering all the space and comfort you could wish for, interiors are stylishly furnished and make use of beautiful natural materials, with modern touches reflecting the owners’ impeccable eye for detail. Three en-suite bedrooms are furnished with comfy beds and luxury linens and to further enhance relaxation, the lower ground floor comes complete with private sauna and gym.
Daily breakfast is included and served at the villa; an indulgent extra that sees every day off to a glowing start. Outside, the well-equipped summer kitchen, comfortable dining area and perfectly placed infinity pool add to the joy of carefree summer living and our local concierge will be happy to arrange groceries and drinks to be delivered before and during your stay if you relish the idea of further at-home entertaining. But there’s a lovely selection of arty cafés, bars and tavernas in Mochlos to tempt you away; an attractive prospect at any time of day but never more so than in the evenings when the lights are reflected in the water and the gentle song of the sea is the backdrop to the atmospheric music and lively chatter. This is hidden Crete at its best – charming, timeless, blissfully undone, with an enticing choice of Cretan fare just waiting to be enjoyed.

What an amazing villa in a stunning location. We instantly relaxed into the Mochlos pace of life made possible with the lovely Sofia's breakfasts and always having Nikos on hand with his unwavering help and advice. We would love to return one day….
We were charmed by Mochlos and loved our holiday at Kalloni. Nikos and Sophia were amazing hosts.
Amazing villa in a superb location with the best welcome pack we have ever received on a holiday! Breakfast was provided every day by the lovely Sofia and it was delicious. Mochlos is a 5 minute walk from the villa, with a great selection of tavernas. Nothing was too much trouble for Nikos, our Simpson representative, his local knowledge was invaluable. We would love to return.
We have had a magnificent fortnight at Villa Kalloni – the highlights in no particular order: the amazing views of the sea and the mountains from wherever you are in the villa; the weather (very hot); hiking the Richtis Gorge; a boat trip with Demetrius; a wonderful private chef night with Giorgios; enjoying drinks on the terrace and watching the sunset; our wonderful hosts, Nikos and Sofia. Nikos bas been a font of knowledge, always willing to listen and help (and appreciated) and Sofia’s breakfasts and hard work have been a wonder to behold. Thank you both. All in all a very relaxing, chilled stay (other than the drive down to Richtis beach, which is not for the faint-hearted!).
A wonderful stay at this beautiful villa with stunning views that offered everything we could have possibly wanted. Beautifully furnished and very relaxing. Wonderful breakfast each morning by Sofia, who was lovely. Nikos was always there to give advice and was very enthusiastic about sharing things to do in and around Mochlos, which is a beautiful port. Will definitely be returning to the area and this villa. First time with Simpson Travel and definitely not our last. Very relaxing stay.
What a fantastic week. The villa and the town of Mochlos are beautiful. Sophia’s breakfast every morning was a very special aspect of the holiday- lovely food and a beautiful person. Nikos was very knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. Hopefully we will return next year.
We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa with its stunning views. We really appreciated the bonus of breakfast every morning and Sofia and Nikos were both friendly and helpful. Mochlos is charming; a peaceful place to sit and watch the sea. All the tavernas we visited were goo; great food and great value and service. We would love to come back.
Another fabulous trip with Simpsons, we've had a wonderful stay at Kalloni, utilising all the amazing space and facilities. What made it even more special were the amazing breakfasts from Sofia which has been a great little luxury. Nikos has been super helpful and a great host, making our stay easy and relaxing.
Fabulous stay thanks. Hope to be back in Mochlos soon.
First Simpson visitors in this villa, although we have been to many other Simpson villas in Mallorca and Greece. We loved the villa and the very comfortable outdoor area - the best sun loungers, as voted by our teenage daughters! The views are lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the tavernas in Mochlos. The real touch of special luxury was the amazing breakfasts prepared and served by Sofia - a real bonus. Nikos was also very attentive and helpful. He has a wealth of local info, and couldn't do enough to help give us a good stay.
The welcome pack on arrival was the best we have ever had in any Simpson villa we have stayed in. The accommodation was excellent - with a superb outdoor space with very comfortable loungers. A special mention must also go to Sofia who produced delicious breakfasts every day - with fresh local ingredients and was one of the highlights of our holiday (and we like our food!!).
Our first holiday using Simpson Travel certainly did not disappoint! The villa is incredible, with beautiful views and stunning scenery. We particularly enjoyed the pool and sunbeds. The breakfasts from Sofia were easily one of the best things about this holiday. Beautifully well prepared, yummy, and the outdoor kitchen is lovely. All in all a wonderful holiday that we'd definitely do again and recommend highly. Lots of fun and very relaxing.
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Heading east from the exclusivity of Elounda and the elegance of lakeside Agios Nikolaos reveals a rugged landscape harbouring the soul food of a simpler life. Our portfolio here celebrates the road less travelled, transporting guests from the mainstream to a hidden Crete that's often overlooked. From gorges and caves to the mountain communities of the beautiful Lasithi Plateau, from the tucked away waterfront village of Mochlos in the north to the timeless landscapes and homely tavernas surrounding Makrigialos in the south – this is Crete at its most warmly welcoming, without artifice, where you’re a guest and never a tourist.
