4.88 host score

Surrounded by rugged mountain slopes and views of the Aegean Sea, this home embodies a calming coastal vibe. There are rustic touches thanks to the hammock and barbecue under starry skies, while the high spec kitchen and bedding have the touch of luxury we so love. Right between the villages of Agia Pelagia and Lygaria, it's safe to say nothing interrupts long days at the beaches followed by cosy evenings at tavernas. Drive 15 kilometres and you're at the capital Heraklion – and where else could you possibly go when you crave a taste of the history and culture of this region.

About Heraklion Town

Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
