Nestled in Malia's charming Old Village, this villa boasts a private pool, outdoor shower, and alfresco dining area. We think it's a great choice for families or large friend groups – it's fully fenced and there are two kitchens and living rooms, so everyone is guaranteed their own space. The ground floor enjoys access to the pool and terrace, while the first floor has a private balcony with a hot tub and alfresco dining space. We recommend hiring a car here, as it's only a short drive down to the coast of Malia and its beautiful beaches.

The myths and legends are probably a good place to start when speaking of Greece and its otherworldly treasures. From Mount Olympus between Thessaly and Macedonia and all the way to the mythical island of Ithaca, the country is like a ripened fig with layers of flavour.
