On a hill overlooking Elounda, this home is ideal if you’re seeking beautiful views and total relaxation. The terrace opens up onto the infinite sea beyond and provides the perfect setting for lazy days by the pool (which can be heated upon request). The decor might be a little dated in parts, but we think most of your time will be spent outside enjoying this fantastic location. From here, it’s just a five-minute walk to the small fishing village of Plaka, while the lively harbour of Elounda is just a ten-minute drive away.
