Conveniently situated a ten-minute walk from Iguana Beach and a short drive from the heart of Chania, this villa offers the best of both worlds. After sea swims or a spot of shopping, take advantage of the home’s fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and private pool. If you’d like a moment to yourself, there’s a balcony off the main bedroom, perfect for relaxing with a good book. It’s worth noting that while five people can stay here, one guest will be on a sofa bed, which incurs an additional fee.

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.
