With an infinity pool facing Spinalonga Island and sea views from almost every angle, this villa makes it very easy to switch into holiday mode. Long lunches under the shaded terrace, lazy afternoons stretched out by the pool, and evenings spent watching the light change over Mirabello Bay. Inside, the open-plan layout keeps things sociable, while the single-level design makes moving between indoors and out feel seamless. The setting feels peaceful and tucked away, but you’re still only a short drive from Elounda and Plaka for waterfront tavernas, boat trips, and swimming spots. Spinalonga itself is well worth visiting while you’re here, and Agios Nikolaos is close enough for a day wandering around the harbour and shops.
