Located on the north coast of Crete, Greece, 25km east of the main airport, Nikos Kazantzakis, at Heraklion, Villa Ralfa is conveniently located close to the main east/west trunk road, and some 3km from the busy resort of Port Hersonissos, and about 30 minutes (relatively flat!) walk from the picturesque village of Pano Hersonissos with its square surrounded by bars and restaurants.

With beaches (including the Hersonissos nudist beach) nearby and easy access to the main tourist sites, Villa Ralfa is not just LGBT ‘friendly’, but is gay owned and run specifically for the LGBT community! We take all our bookings direct and do not deal through travel agents which means we can give you very economical rates, and you get to go where YOU want to go, and with our excellent local knowledge we can help you plan your holiday!

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, (you can click on the map, left, to see all of Greece to scale) and offers much for the gay and lesbian traveller to see and do, from long walks, scenic drives, crystal clear blue seas, excellent Cretan food using the freshest ingredients, to nightlife hectic and sedate.

If your idea of a good holiday is go out at 10pm and get back at 5am, then that is fine by us, but you should also try and visit Crete someday.

As we live here all year round (so if you want to visit in winter....), we know our way around and can suggest day trips and evenings out to suit most tastes. And pockets.

And because we take only a limited number of guests we have time for you, right down to arranging a barbecue and evening in if you wish.
