Beautiful inside and out, this villa stands in a cliffside location on a peaceful bay. It looks out over the Aegean Sea and has a stunning private infinity pool – with a whirlpool section – from which you can admire the sea views. We love the covered dining area, which has a built-in barbecue. There’s also an outdoor shower, and a steam room inside. You’ll need a car to get around but will be rewarded with easy access to Agia Pelagia and Heraklion.

About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
