Views like this don’t come around often. Perched on a cliffside, this villa boasts sweeping vistas of the Aegean Sea from almost every angle. The hardest decision you’ll make here is where to spend your time – soaking up the sun by the infinity pool, diving from the private pier into the ocean, or hosting cocktail hour at the waterfront bar. Inside, you’ll find two kitchens, a gym, a light-filled living space and six bedrooms – one of which is set in a bunker with no windows, though let’s be honest, you’re unlikely to spend much time indoors. When you’re ready to explore, you’re just a five-minute drive from cafes, restaurants, and sandy beaches, and ten minutes from the centre of Heraklion. Total bliss.

Local guide
About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
