Footsteps from Gouves Beach, this waterfront villa is all about switching off in the sunshine. The garden features dining and lounging areas, all with views of the Cretan coast, soundtracked by the gentle rhythm of the waves. Inside, there’s a playroom to keep the little ones entertained and a gym for the fitness fans among you. The interiors could do with a refresh, but the beds are comfortable, and with sea and sand right on your doorstep, we don’t think you’ll mind too much. For shopping, dining and historic hotspots, check out Heraklion town, seventeen kilometres away.

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...
