We know that Freelance Villas customers have impeccable taste, but today, Tripadvisor has named Elafonissi Beach, Crete as THE best beach in the world in their Travellers Choice awards 2025. Its pink sands, family friendly beach and crystal clear waters were the winning factors.

10th best beach in the world (and 4th best in Europe?) Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia.

Preaching to the converted, we know! Check out our Top 5 best beaches in Crete for the insider info https://www.freelancevillas.com/journal/5-of-the-best-beaches-in-crete-our-top-picks-for-summer-sun/

We're not sure about you, but we're on the verge of sending a search party out for the sun!

Be gone, February perma-gloom!! Hard to believe that in a few months you could be here, on Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia's most famous. Just LOOK at the colour of that sea and sand! Take a look at our 'Top 5 beaches of Kefalonia' for more ideas of heaven. https://www.freelancevillas.com/journal/the-top-5-beaches-of-kefalonia/

February 9th marks the start of Apokries in Greek culture and the lead up to Lent.

Apokria, literally meaning “away from meat” – is celebrated as a ‘goodbye’ to the period of meat-eating before the fast.

Take a look at our blog https://www.freelancevillas.com/journal/greek-festivals/ for all the festivals in Crete and Kefalonia in 2025.

Today marks the final day in the 3 day Festival of Saint Agatha, 'La festa di sant'Agata'. the most important religious festival in Catania, Sicily.

SIcily's second largest city, located at the foothills of Mout Etna, is fascinating to explore at any time, but today up to a million people will feast, dance and pay homage to the city's patron saint. Today will culminate in a final Mass and procession, where the safe passage of a heavy silver carriage pulled up a steep slope is considered to bode well for the rest of the year.

If Sicily is somewhere you've love to visit, take a look at our ultra-stylish villas there. https://freelancevillas.link/sicily-villas

What's faster? Getting started on a Monday morning? Usain Bolt? Or our swanky, super-fast broadband in the following villas: Kalypso, Anna Maria, Penelope, Odysseus, Alexandra, Roberto and Hephaestus.

Answer: Definitely not Monday morning!!

January can feel like an endless month, but we're loving the fact that nights are drawing in slightly later! We swear it was almost 5pm before we put the 'big lights' on!

Here's just one luxury villa - Pithari Sunset in Fiskardo, Kefalonia, which offers a prime sunset view. https://freelancevillas.link/pithari-sunset. Here's to longer days - oh, and sun!

Another day, another garden to brighten your day, this time the delightfully rustic Villa Punxa near Pollensa, Mallorca.

What we love about this is that it's not too manicured; the roses, vines and wildflowers are rambling and the smell divine! The garden really suits the traditional finca, and you'll be greeted by swathes of flowers which add colour as well as total privacy.

We've been captivated by Monty Don's British Gardens series, currently showing on BBC 2. There's nothing more uplifting than the sight of a garden in full bloom, especially during January! The colour! The hope!

Here's just one of our favourite gardens surrounding Villa Vigla, in Stylos, Crete.

Isn't it lovely! https://freelancevillas.link/vigla

It's party time!!! Tonight (16th January) and tomorrow (17th) sees the climax of the San Antoni fiesta, one of the most iconic and colourful in the Mallorcan calendar.

Honoring the patron saint of animals, Saint Anthony, celebrations are held all over the island, but the most spectacular 'demons dance' and parade is in Sa Pobla. After dark, over 100 bonfires are lit whilst locals dressed as the devil and wielding pitchforks chase and play tricks on the gathered crowds, accompanied by the banging of ximbombes (drums). Traditional foods like sobrassada, botifarra sausage and espiganada and sweet red pepper pies are eaten and wine drunk. The firework parade begins at 9.45 this evening.

The religious part of the festival takes place tomorrow, where domesticated animals are brought to local churches to be blessed by the priest, whilst larger farm animals gather in local squares for the same. The animal parade in Sa Pobla starts at 4.30 pm.

New Villa Alert!

A new year and another new villa! We're delighted to introduce Villa Pine Heaven (it does what it says on the tin), a beautifully positioned villa in Bobovisca, on the Croatian island of Brac.

Sleeping 8, one of the stand out features of this modern, open plan property is the separate, self-contained holiday house, ideal for multi-generational getaways where everyone can have their own space.

Bobovisca is a great spot to explore from, with crystal waters, pine-clad hills, olive groves and vineyards dotted across and around the island.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Whether you're in the home straight or still have everything in your online shopping basket, here's a selection of this years' Christmas trees and lights from some of our favourite destionations: Chania, Brac, Pollenca, Palma and Argostoli.

12/12/2024

The historic, once sleepy town of Gavalohori (aka Gavalochori), just 3kms from Almyrida and 25kms from Chania has had something of a makeover in recent years.

Artisan shops like Mera and The Swallow sell beautifully handmade arts and crafts whilst Gavalianos Kafenes (known locally as 'Monica's Taverna) and Piperakis Bakery join more established businesses like , Elpida Kafeneio/Mezedopoleio in deliciousness.

Whether you want to stay here or make a day trip, you'll be spoilt for choice in things to see and do. https://freelancevillas.link/gavalohori

10/12/2024

If you're a confirmed Graecophile, or know someone who is, this recipe book which came out earlier this year might make for a great Christmas gift. One-pot pastisio or baklava cheesecake, anyone?

(Our opinion only - we have no financial incentive for promotion, just hunger!!)

It's definitely a case of 'batten down the hatches' (windows and doors) as Storm Darragh approaches this weekend.

Stay safe, lovely people!

We love this short reel sent in by a customer (thank you!) who took a sunrise catamaran dolphin cruise from Puerto Pollensa this morning! Just one of the many things to see and do in the north of Mallorca. What's your favourite? https://www.freelancevillas.com/destinations/puerto-pollenca-villas/ #catamarancruise #dolphins #puertopollensa #Mallorca #sunrise #Thursday

As we battened down the hatches for Storm Ashley this weekend, we remembered giving kite surfing a go whilst on holiday in Kefalonia this summer. There's sand on the camera lens, the whipping wind the soundtrack but oh, it was SO MUCH FUN! If this is something you'd like to try on your next holiday, we recommend staying near Mounda beach, where this was taken. https://freelancevillas.link/mounda-beach #kitesurfing #adventure #adventureholidays #kefalonia #moundabeach #stormashley #wind #fun #family #holidays #villas #visitgreece

Take 20 seconds out of your day and be transported to Kefalonian paradise! It's a bit grey and overcast out there (hard to believe this footage was taken two weeks ago!) so here's a whistle-stop video tour of Villa Kalypso, a view which is shared by a few of our Spartia villas. Enjoy! https://freelancevillas.link/kalypso #VillaKalypso #Kefalonia #Greece #heaven #paradise #pools #sun #holidays #travel #familyholiday #sea #seaviews

In what could well be our cutest, most adorable post to date, take a few moments out of your day to watch this turtle being encouraged to the Kefalonian sea. Last week, our finance director, Chris and his family volunteered at Wildlife Sense, a conservation charity based on the island. Survey teams monitor nests and ensure that as many hatchlings make it as possible. Take a look at their important work (and more cute turtle videos) here https://wildlifesense.com/en/. Happy Friday! #kefalonia #turtles #turtle #conservation #wildlife #wildlifesense #environment #sea #sealife #Friday

Just a 30 second taster as to why we ADORE Kefalonia. If you're thinking of a holiday there next year, take a look!

If you're looking to get away from it all with your next holiday, we're about to add (spoiler alert!) some new villas near Mounda and Kaminia Beaches, near Skala, Kefalonia.
