About Sternes
Sternes: Luxury Living on the Akrotiri Peninsula
Set in the historic region of Akrotiri, Sternes is a village that combines natural beauty, cultural depth, and modern convenience. With its elevated position, the area has panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding peninsula, creating a serene backdrop for everyday life.
Here, you’re surrounded by the legacy of Minoan civilization and the quiet power of a landscape that has remained untouched by time. The location provides a unique sense of place: rich in history, yet effortlessly modern. Despite its quiet setting, Sternes is just 9 minutes from the airport and 15 to 20 minutes from the heart of Chania.
The Sternes Villas by H2O Crete are positioned to take full advantage of this rare setting. Set on a gentle slope at the village’s edge, the villas offer privacy, uninterrupted views, and easy access — a perfect combination for both living and long-term investment. This is a place where refined architecture, thoughtful design, and beautiful surroundings come together to create something truly special.
Calm Living, Prime Location
Sternes feels like a retreat, but life here is far from remote. A supermarket and café are just a five-minute walk away. A short drive from Sternes takes you to Loutraki and Marathi: two of the most popular beaches in the area, known for their turquoise waters, well-kept amenities, and buzzing seaside energy.
Essential services including a hospital, school, post office, and bank are all within a 15-minute radius. Chania’s international airport is just around the corner, making travel seamless whether for you or your future guests.
From every villa, you enjoy open vistas and natural light, with nothing between you and the sea. It’s this balance, connected yet peaceful, steeped in history yet designed for modern living, that makes Sternes one of the most promising locations on the Akrotiri peninsula.
