This contemporary villa is in the perfect location for combining sightseeing with lazy days in the Greek sunshine. It's just a twenty-minute drive from the historic sights of Heraklion and Knossos, and even less to the beach at Kokkini Hani – but this home has everything you need for quieter days, too. Nestled in the countryside, there's plenty of privacy here (even with two other villas on the same site), with space to enjoy dips in the pool, sunbathing, and alfresco meals – if you're not tempted by a restaurant in the local village. Meanwhile, the shared lawn is the ideal spot for garden games – or just letting little ones run off some energy.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Local guide
About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
