Outdoor lounging and taking it easy is what this home is all about. With a gorgeous patio area decked out in all manner of seating and entertainment, there’s no end to the sun soaking and relaxation in store. Spend afternoons taking dips in the private pool or soaking up some rays on the loungers. There’s an outdoor shower here to cool you down too, while the shady vine-covered pergola is an ideal spot to enjoy a cold drink and a barbecue feast. With a hammock here too, you can catch up on your holiday reading in style, or retreat to the living area to put your feet up before retiring to the bedrooms for a blissful night’s sleep. Outside of your home, you need only walk 100 metres to be at the edge of the sea, or for a more traditional beach experience, drive five minutes to sandy Paralia Makrigialos. Elsewhere, the pretty Butterfly Gorge hiking area is a twenty-minute drive and the bustling coastal town of Agios Nikolaos is an hour away by car.

Local guide
About Crete
The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
