Villa Omikron is located close to the historical village Rodia, built at a prominent position on the namesake mount, 18 km northwest of the city of Heraklion. Built amphitheatrically, it is often called the “Balcony of Heraklion” as it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean sea, the famous Dia’s Island, and the surrounding mountains. Rodia features some important historical monuments, like the Venetian villa of the Kallergis family. The Kallergis family was of noble Byzantine origin and had this house built in the 16th century. Although you cannot visit the interior of the villa, which has been fitted with new doors and window frames, it’s rather interesting to see the adjacent church and other old buildings around it, including the ruins of an old “fabrica” (olive oil factory). Explore the picturesque village by walking around its narrow streets and squares where you can find all the basics during your stay, such as mini market, bakery, gas station, pharmacy, lots of cafés ("kafeneion”, as the locals call them), as well as taverns! Additionally, there are many family attractions that can be easily visited from the villa, such as a water park, the Cretaquarium, dinosaurs theme park (Dinosauria ) etc. The vicinity of the property to some important Cretan must-see attractions such as Knossos Palace, archeological museum in Heraklion and Spinalonga islet is also a significant asset making it an ideal holiday base. Other major facilities of the island are only a breath away from the villa, such as the Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport and the port of the city, as well as the exit to the highway that gives easy access to the centre of Heraklion and to the other cities in Crete such as Rethymno, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Hersonissos, Malia, Elounda and others.
