Steps from the Cretan coast and close enough to Chania for the action, yet far enough to feel secluded, this villa’s exterior is as impressive as the interior – modern with a classic Grecian touch. Six bedrooms span two floors, and the open-flow living space makes entertaining easy for larger groups. Outside, the saltwater pool and lounge areas make it hard to leave, with outdoor workout equipment to keep your routine on track. When you’re ready to explore, Chania is just a short drive away for waterfront dinners and harbour strolls.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
