The outdoor space of this Cretan villa instantly blew us away. Perched above the coastline near Plakias, it boasts far-reaching views across the sea, with mountains rising dramatically behind it. Spend your days cooling off in the private pool, stretching out on the terrace, or enjoying relaxed Mediterranean meals outdoors. Come inside, and you'll see the home is simple and modern – with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s worth noting that one will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room here. But it seems a small compromise for a stay in such a perfect pocket of Crete.
