Just 700 metres from the beach in Agia Pelagia, this villa offers an unforgettable experience on Crete's northern coastline. In the infinity pool, the glittering Mediterranean feels even closer, and the panoramic terrace is just the spot for sunset drinks. There are more ways to chill out inside – take in the sea views while working out in the gym, rest in the sauna, or gather with family and friends for a game of pool. And while relaxation is certainly prioritised here, this is a great location for families – there are plenty of tavernas in Agia Pelagia if you don't feel like cooking at home, while Heraklion is just a thirty-minute drive away.

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...
