Our Story

Welcome to my website, Welcome to South Cretan Villas!

Glad you found me.

My name is Marina, I am half Greek/Italian and grew up in Germany.

As a well trained foreign language correspondent (Italian, English) and after successfully completing my degree I managed to work in several property management companies in Germany. Ever since, I worked in the real estate industry and  dealt with rental purposes of houses and villas full-time, throughout the years.

Since I was a child, I dreamed to live by the sea one day. Eventually, my dream became a reality and for over 5 years now I live in my mother’s home country, in the South of Crete. During this time I got to know new people, and immersed even more deeply in both the culture and customs of the region. This helped me achieve major development professionally and my goal now has become to share these wonderful moments I experienced with other people.

Right here, on the largest island of Greece, I found my passion and started my own business renting unique houses and villas to people around the world.

The main goal of the company is to provide a dream trip tailored to our customers needs and wants, seeking  to make your holiday a unique experience in all possible ways.

Due to the deep integration in the cretan community throughout the years I have build very good connections on the island, which will not only help you find your dream accommodation but can also bring you closer to the local people and their traditions.

If you need assistance for planning any activities, you have come to the right place! The organization of your dream vacation is of great importance to me. Therefore, I am here to provide any necessary tips and organizational support for the guests.

I am happy to welcome you in one of our beautiful houses or villas and turn your well-deserved holiday into an unforgettable stay in the south of Crete.
