Slightly futuristic yet Cretan at its core, this modern villa perched on the coast is something special. Sleeping twelve, with one bedroom set apart as a self-catering “underground bunk”, it offers endless sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Sleek and contemporary, the open-flow living area – complete with a piano – gives you plenty of space to entertain. It may not be what you picture when you think of Crete, but that’s exactly what draws us to it, especially with an in-house gym, office, direct path to the sea, and just a short drive from some of the island’s most photogenic beaches and top restaurants.

Home truths
One of the bedrooms is underground as the "bunker", it may not be for everyone, but we think it's a pretty unique feature.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. You'll want to keep an eye on little ones at all times.

About Crete
The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
