A rest and reset are firmly on the cards at this Cretan villa, delivering sweeping sea and mountain views in every direction. Well-suited to families, kids will love you for the private pool and table tennis set-up, and a lengthy shaded terrace is tailor-made for easy alfresco barbecues. Inside, the sleek, modern interiors are faultless, while a sea-facing terrace leading off the primary bedroom suite seals the deal. Set in the peaceful Anissaras area near Chersonisos, a car is recommended for sightseeing and trips to nearby Anissaras Beach (one kilometre away). Although with a handy shop and welcoming taverna 150 metres from the door, car-free days are just as doable.

Local guide


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...
