Laidback, modern and bright, this sleek villa a ten-minute walk from the heart of Sisi village is an idyllic holiday home. You’ll spend your days lapping up glorious Cretan sunshine by the pool, dipping in and out of the cool water whenever the mood takes you. When hunger strikes, treat your brood to a slap-up feast put together in the summer kitchen and dine alfresco on the shaded terrace. Steal a quiet moment to yourself on the balcony with an iced coffee before slipping on your sandals and ambling down to Avlaki Beach, twenty minutes from your doorstep. Snorkel in the bay, then pick your way across the pebbles to the taverna for a refreshing beverage. Stick around for the sunset or head home for games night in your minimalist living space – we loved the no-fuss aesthetic with subdued hues and natural materials.
