Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking to be well away from the hustle and bustle, this villa in the foothills of the Lefka Ori mountains, around 18 kilometres from Ammoudi Beach, offers a tranquil stay for any group. We think you’ll spend most of your time outside, thanks to the private pool, outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the seaside, and balcony overlooking the unspoilt landscape. Plus, there’s a dining terrace for enjoying every meal alfresco. It’s worth noting that this home can technically sleep up to seven, though the seventh guest would be on the sofa bed in the living space, for an additional fee.

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...
