Located in Almyrida, this villa is just 500 metres from a long stretch of sandy beach. Whilst the fishing village is quiet, its offers an array of cafes, shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. Featuring two private pools, one of which is designed especially for kids, you can rest assured that the little ones will always be kept entertained. The garden is particularly impressive thanks to a hot tub, lush lawn and Jacuzzi, but the inside of the home has its fair share of little luxuries, too. We love the basement here, where you’ll find a plush home cinema and a pool table.

Home truths
There's free private parking available here, with an EV charging station. The centre of the village is just 500 metres away, but if you're keen to explore other parts of Crete then we'd recommend renting a car.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
