Dreamy, crystal-clear turquoise waters aren’t just a dream here – and neither is the stylish home waiting for you after the beach. With room for the whole group to spread out, this stone home is as inviting as it is sophisticated. Every bedroom has its own ensuite for privacy, while the generous outdoor space and pool set the scene for long, sun-soaked grill nights. You’re close to some of Crete’s most enviable beaches and swim spots, and when you’re ready for city energy, Chania is just under an hour away.
