This Cretan gem is the perfect retreat for a tight-knit group or family seeking a coastal retreat to Greece’s largest island. A natural stone exterior beckons you into a sumptuously modern interior – it’s the perfect setting to make memories. Mornings call for freshly-brewed coffee on the balcony whilst taking in the Mediterranean panoramas, or practice your sun salutations with the early morning sun warming you into your poses. Head to the sleek kitchen to prepare a breakfast spread of yoghurt and local fruit before heading to your outside oasis. Most likely, the Mediterannean sun will invite you to dive into the sparkling pool or lounge out on sunbeds with your holiday read. As the golden hour approaches, gather in the outdoor lounge to share a glass or two of Vidiano with your loved ones. Set aside a day or two to explore the local highlights – the powdery sands and whistling waves of Damnoni Beach are moments away or, if you’re seeking cultural delights, make the short drive to Kouroupa where you’ll find the White Mountains and enchanting waterfalls.
