High above the shimmering coast of southern Crete, this spectacular home offers front-row views of the Mediterranean Sea and the distant Paximadia Islands. It's framed by olive groves and rugged hills, with expansive terraces, an infinity pool, and quiet corners for total seclusion. Wellness is woven into the experience, from a sauna and hammam to a padel court overlooking the water. When evening comes, gather for alfresco meals with a drink in hand. More than a villa, it’s a place to slow down and savour the beauty of Crete.

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.
