Surrounded by rocky peaks, traditional Greek villages and untouched nature, this rustic villa welcomes you to try the laid-back coastal living in the south of Crete. With a stone exterior and sweeping views of the Libyan sea, this home offers plenty of luxurious touches without disturbing its spectacular surroundings. Spend a day sunbathing on Triopeta beach, which is just 800m away – be sure to stop by one of the taverns serving local seafood on the sand. If you enjoy beach hopping, arrange a boat trip and set sail towards more secluded beaches and coves. After a day in the sun, head home to cool off in the outdoor swimming pool, and enjoy the ocean views from the water. Try your hand at cooking some local delicacies on the barbecue for dinner, which is best enjoyed alfresco under the pergola. The veranda affords the best seats in the house when it comes to watching the sunset.
