Perched on a scenic hillside, the aptly named Village Heights Golf Resort is ideally located next to Greece's only PGA golf course. This resort is of the traditional Cretan Village style, and all units boast outstanding views of the sea. Close by, the small but wildly popular town of Hersonissos offers beaches, restaurants, and a bevy of bars and nightclubs. The island capital Heraklion, with its fascinating museums and shops, is only 15 miles away. The warm summers and mild winters make this a perfect year-round getaway, and its many historical sites provide interesting diversions from the typical sun and fun of island vacations.
