This home perfectly embodies traditional Cretan charm. Nestled in the peaceful village of Kaina, this is the perfect setting to slow down and experience the magic of island living. Days can be spent lounging poolside and sipping drinks in the shade. There’s a charcoal barbecue for alfresco dining and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to settle in. There’s plenty for space to stretch out and two of the bedrooms have access to private balconies. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to the beaches of Almyrida and Georgioupolis, as well as the nearest amenities.

About Crete

The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
