Perched on a Cretan hillside with gorge views dropping away below and the Mediterranean stretching to the horizon, this villa is built around the kind of outdoor living that's hard to leave behind. The infinity pool sits at the terrace's edge, the water appearing to dissolve into open sea – and when the sun dips, the hot tub takes over. Covered dining terraces mean evenings outside are never a compromise. Old Town Chania is a nineteen-minute drive, and the nearest beach is just 2 km away.

About Crete

Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
