Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This stunning Cretan home has more than a hint of a bohemian Balinese aesthetic. Maybe it's the floating yoga terrace, perched over the Bay of Kissamos, or the leafy paths that wind past quiet lounge areas to the private pebbled beach (don't forget the snorkelling equipment). The open-plan terrace is perfect for group gatherings, from sun-soaked pool chats to cocktail parties fuelled by homemade pizza. Inside the villa, you might be glad of the gym and sauna when you want a moment to yourself, while bare stone walls and semi-open en-suites offer continued connection to the local landscape. Wander into nearby Ravdoucha for a taste of Greek hospitality, or drive to Kissamos for island boat trips and historic sights.

Local guide
About Kissamos
Despite its idyllic coastline, Kissamos has remained relatively hidden from the crowds of tourists that descend on Crete each summer. It’s mainly locals you’ll see wandering the narrow streets here, but that’s not to say that this place is totally untouched by tourism. Stroll down to Telonio Beach’s cobbled promenade and you’ll find plenty of seaside tavernas serving hearty Cretan fare, as well as a smattering of bars and clubs...
