Combining traditional greek architecture with modern stylings, this authentic home sits proudly in the middle of Crete's lush countryside. Surrounded by miles of greenery, anyone looking for some peace and quiet will feel right at home in this slice of greek paradise. We think the star of the show here is the stunning view of the White Mountains you get from all angles of the home. Whether you're sipping cocktails by the pool, dining alfresco with some dakos on the terrace, or indulging in a bottle of kotsifali with your loved one on the balcony, breathtaking scenes of the White Mountains will always be your backdrop. We recommend waking up early to watch the golden light and hazy skies dance on top of the mountain peaks. As magical as it is here, you're in the paradise of Crete, so it's important to head out and enjoy the wonders of this island. Chania is a must-visit town if you're looking for an authentic greek experience. Only thirty-six-minutes away by car, this colourful town is filled with traditional cuisine, historic buildings and quirky streets to explore. If lounging on sandy beaches and swimming in crystal clear waters is more your thing, then Kalives Beach is a fifteen-minute drive from home. Make sure to wander around the pretty seaside village of Kalives while you're there.
