This stunning home is made for outdoor living – so much so that you might not spend much time enjoying the sleek interiors. The immense terrace offers panoramic views of the Crete landscape, and there are plenty of places to chill – reserve a swing chair before someone beats you to it. The separate children's pool means younger guests don't have to miss out on the fun, and it won't be long before you're enjoying a friendly competition at the ping-pong table or basketball hoop. Evenings call for drinks around the sunken firepit – but if you'd rather sip beside the sea, the charming resort of Panormos is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
