Situated in the mountains, yet about a 10 minute drive away from the beach, you can book a whole apartment with a terrace including food and drink all day. Every day you have access to an incredibly versatile buffet in the morning, for lunch and dinner plus snacks and drinks to go. You can choose from healthy salads and fruit platters, meats, eggs, and other Mediterranean dishes plus of course the usual continental type foods.<\/p>\n<p>So, overall good food for a decent price (excluding the main season in July, August) &#8211; best to go in April, May, early June and from end of September to October or November, outside of the main season. You&#8217;ll face fewer tourists and lower prices then. This resort offers free Wi-Fi access throughout all areas so you can work from the pool area or the bar where you have access to free drinks and snacks all day. You can of course also work from you room or apartment, if you prefer a more quiet workplace.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-5813\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 824 464'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fernandoraymond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Crete-Island-In-Greece-Beach-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Crete-Island-In-Greece-Beach\" width=\"824\" height=\"464\" \/>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filionhotel-crete.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Filion Resort and Spa<\/a> in the Bali fishing village area in Crete<\/strong> was a great deal.

About 8 km from the airport I found <strong>Alianthos Suites in Tersanas near Chania<\/strong> and it situated near the coast so you can get stunning views out to the sea here plus a great breakfast buffet included and access to a pool and tennis court with sea views.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-5815\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 824 618'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fernandoraymond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Crete-Island-In-Greece-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"824\" height=\"618\" \/>The whole property has free Wi-Fi access available, however, some rooms appeared to have a lower signal than others, so you best let the team there know that you require a good Internet connection when booking. But in the communal areas the signal was fine and you can work from there with a stunning view out to the sea and the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer a whole apartment for self-catering, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/gr\/nostalgia-villas-tersanas.en-gb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Nostalgia Villas<\/strong><\/a> will be for you. Attractive prices for a great space catering to up to 8 people with fabulous views is what you get here plus access to a swimming pool and nearby caves and beaches you can reach by hiking for around 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also have a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine and the surrounding area is quiet and calm. You can buy fresh fish and ingredients at nearby supermarkets and cook your own meals, if you follow a specific diet for example. And it&#8217;s great for hiking with nearby Stavros.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Cd0gCLPAbdE\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Cd0gCLPAbdE\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Fernando Raymond (@fernandoraymond_)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Nostalgia Villas property consists of 4 villas altogether, so you could invite family, friends or colleagues and rent out the whole property to use together at affordable rates especially outside of the main season.<\/p>\n<p>For digital nomads and remote workers who prefer a buzzing town and the luxury lifestyle, you can check out the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rethymno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rethimnon<\/a> between the capital <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heraklion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Heraklion<\/a> and Chania.

However, the resort is so vast, you can swim in 3 huge different pools here, enjoy a big breakfast buffet in the morning with gorgeous views out to the surrounding mountains and sea.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also have access to the gym and tennis courts. However, the beaches here are not as impressive as on the western side of the island where you can find many white sandy beaches with clear water great for swimming and snorkelling.
