If you can't decide between the beach or the pool, opt for this modern Cretan villa that enjoys the best of both worlds. Commanding far-reaching views from its location at the top of a hill, the property has its own private pool and is also only a short walk away from the nearest sandy beach. Everything here is set up for easy, comfortable living with a bright open-plan kitchen and living space, and a basement games room with a PS5. There's a covered spot on the terrace for alfresco dining and sun loungers for soaking up the sun. And while it's tempting to stay put, you can find some excellent local restaurants in nearby Rethymno.

About Rethymno
A labyrinthine Old Town, a bustling promenade and an enchanting Venetian port – Rethymno really does have it all.
