Wake up to serene views across the countryside and out to the ocean at this Cretan villa. Carefree days can be spent stretched out by the pool, enjoying long alfresco lunches cooked in the outdoor kitchen, or gathering around the firepit for starlit conversation while the little ones explore the playground. Inside, there’s plenty of space for the whole group to make themselves at home, with two kitchens and bedrooms offering flexible sleeping arrangements – ideal for couples or families. You’re just five minutes from local tavernas and shops, and 3 kilometres from the golden sands of Almirida Bay.
