One of a pair of independent villas overlooking Sisi Bay, this stunning home is a fantastic base to explore the best of Crete's north coast and its mountainous interior. Interior decor sticks to a muted palette of white and grey with lots of natural wood and wicker throughout, which helps you feel connected to the spectacular landscapes on your doorstep. A particular highlight is an open-plan living space with its sleek kitchen, stylish dining area, and comfy low-slung sofa with pool views. Slide open the doors for unrivalled access to the poolside patio, outdoor seating and sun loungers. Meanwhile, the spacious bedrooms on the first floor both open out onto a shared balcony. So whichever sun-soaked spot you choose, relaxation is guaranteed. Just a few minutes away is the charming village of Sisi, where you're free to wander its narrow winding lanes before sitting down at one of the traditional tavernas, with a reputation for serving some of the best seafood on the island. For a more cosmopolitan vibe, head thirty minutes west to the island's capital of Heraklion, where you'll find innovative international cuisine and lively bars.
