Villa Kapela

Welcome to Villa Kapela! 🌿 My name is George, I was born and raised here in the beautiful village of Sivas, and I’m a teacher by profession. I truly enjoy welcoming guests from all over the world to share the beauty, traditions, and warm spirit of our village. When I’m not teaching or hosting, I love spending time outdoors, hiking in the stunning Cretan landscapes, exploring local history, and enjoying good food with family and friends. Our family also shares a passion for gardening, cooking traditional dishes, and keeping the spirit of Sivas alive. Villa Kapela is a true family effort: the Kapellakis family – Chrysoula, Marios, Nikos, and myself – all care deeply about making sure you feel at home. Ioannis is always here to assist with your booking and provide helpful tips so your stay is smooth and memorable. For us, hospitality is more than a tradition; it’s a way of showing love and care. We want you to experience not just a holiday, but the warmth of Cretan life, where neighbors know each other and community means everything. We look forward to welcoming you to Sivas and helping you create unforgettable memories in Crete.
