Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This designer Cretan home strikes the perfect balance between privacy and a well-placed setting. You’re set within an exclusive gated enclave of just three villas, yet still within easy walking distance of Tavronitis Beach. Inside, the high-style interiors speak for themselves. However, a special mention goes to the fitness suite, complete with sauna and indoor Jacuzzi. Outdoors, lounging and dining terraces frame a lengthy private pool – all angled to draw in those sea views. You’ll want a car for exploring the wider area. But we think this is a small trade-off for the peace and seclusion this home brings.

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...
