Villa Kynthia is one of the most historically charming guesthouses in Crete.
The building is a remarkable example of neoclassical architecture with local characteristics of the last century. This is why it is included by the Greek Ministry of Culture in the listed historic buildings.
Korinna and Antonis Miliarakis drove to the decision to become the new owners and to preserve it, after the memorable special time they spent for some years there, as a holiday residence. Therefore in 1991 they restored it.
