The Aegean is front and centre at this hillside villa in Vathianos Kampos – from the terrace, the sea stretches out in a full, uninterrupted sweep, best appreciated over an alfresco dinner with the barbecue going. Inside, deep sofas in the living room frame the same view, and the calm carries up to the main bedroom too. When you're ready to step away from it all, Kokkini Hani Beach is just 1.5 km away, with a supermarket and restaurants within easy reach. The private pool, lined with teak sun loungers and facing the water, is reason enough to stay put.

Home truths
The villa is spread across three floors without an internal lift, so you'll be using the stairs regularly – between the pool terrace, the main living level, and the upper and lower bedrooms.
The twin beds in the second and third bedrooms, and the fourth bedroom on the lower level, can each be converted into a king-size double. Let your host know your preference before arrival.
You'll need a car to make the most of the area. Private parking for up to three cars is available at the villa.
Your host asks you to get in touch at least three days before arrival to arrange check-in and share your flight details – check-in takes place at the villa itself.

About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
