Perched on a hill overlooking the deep blue of the sea, this scenic villa just a short drive from Plakias is an ideal retreat for those looking for a taste of coastal bliss. Incorporating stone architecture that blends in with the rugged surroundings, the home invites you to lose yourself in the beauty of Crete’s nature and embrace a treacly lifestyle to unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Boasting a beautiful private pool with views towards the sea, your days will be filled with sunbathing and cool dips in its waters before gathering together for celebratory alfresco meals on the patio. When the heat of the sun gets too much to handle, head inside for yet more uninterrupted views of the sea from the comfort of the living room. With two comfortable bedrooms – not to mention a pair of sleek rainfall showers – you’ve got everything you need for a paradisical break. Outside of your home, the nearest sandy beach is 1.3 kilometres away, while Plakias’ bustling centre is 4.5 kilometres from your home.
