Set in the foothills of Anavlochos Mountain, it comes as no surprise that this villa's views are pretty spectacular. They stretch from the Lasithi Hills to the Cretan Sea, and trust us – you'll spend most of your time here outdoors, drinking in the scenery. Multiple seating areas, an alfresco dining table and a panoramic infinity pool make that easy to do. Even inside, big windows put the views front and centre and flood the living area with sunlight. When you're ready to venture out, the touristy town of Agios Nikolaos is worth a day trip, while numerous beaches are within easy reach, including Almiros, Stalis and Chavania.
