Situated in Gouves, on Crete’s northern coast, this villa is a no-nonsense getaway for a family or group of friends. Marina Beach is within walking distance, but if you’d like to venture further afield, Heraklion is easily reached by car. Back at home, the large outside space is complete with a swimming pool and a dining terrace for enjoying meals in the sunshine. Inside, two living areas provide plenty of room for the whole group, and the bedrooms guarantee a good night’s sleep.
