For a family holiday in Crete with everything to hand, this is a great option. This villa is part of a complex of two villas in Akoumia, looking out over the Libyan Sea and boasting panoramic views. As you sip lemonade by the pool, your gaze will drift to the mountains in the distance. This is a peaceful home far from the touristy crowds, ideal for family breaks and making memories. Perhaps you’ll start the day with a family breakfast on the balcony. It’s the best place in the villa to take in the view. The little ones will likely want to jump straight in the pool before spending the rest of their day playing on the swings and slide. You might settle in a hammock to doze in the sunshine or read a book under an umbrella by the pool. The beautiful Triopetra beach is just five minutes away by car, with clear water to swim in. The town has a few tavernas, so you can go from the beach to lunch, soaking up the atmosphere of the small town. In the evenings, you might drive to a nearby town for dinner, or perhaps you’ll shop locally for fresh seafood and grill it on the barbecue. Sip wine as the sun sets, and enjoy the romance once the kids are in bed.
