Your Cretan holiday starts with a conversation.
A question about the villa, your travel plans or a special family holiday? I'd be delighted to help. You'll be speaking directly with the owner of Villa Koumos.
Hello, I'm John.
I'm John Butterworth, the owner of Villa Koumos. Since buying the villa in 2014, I've taken great pleasure in welcoming guests to this beautiful corner of western Crete.
Villa Koumos is much more than a holiday property to me. It's a place my family and I love, and one I've carefully developed to offer the comfort, space and privacy that make a holiday special.
Whether you're visiting with family or friends, travelling to Crete for the first time, or looking for a peaceful escape, I'm happy to answer your questions and help you plan your stay.
From choosing the right airport and arranging car hire to finding a favourite local taverna, I'll gladly share what I know.
