Dreaming of sand between your toes within minutes of waking up? This is Crete at its best, with the beach less than a ten-minute walk away and enough space for the whole family or a group of friends. You’ll also have a Jacuzzi, pool, and plenty of room for outdoor dining. While there’s lots of space to socialise, those seeking complete quiet should note the villa sits under the Heraklion flight path, so some noise is to be expected – it may not be the best fit. And for tavern meals and ancient Minoan history, don't skip Herkalion.

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...
