Tucked away on a hill overlooking the stunningly blue Libyan Sea, this contemporary dwelling offers a peaceful and serene retreat for you to indulge in some proper relaxation when holidaying in lovely Crete. Contemporary styling and modern architecture give the home a lush and luxurious touch, and the surrounding mountain and sea views really make it feel special. It's also perfectly located, based just a short walk from the beautiful Souda beach, which offers stunning cliffs, crystal-clear waters and a laidback and peaceful atmosphere. If a lively beach with lots going on is more your thing, the popular Plakias beach is just a short drive away, where you can try out water sports and enjoy some cocktails by the sea. Wake up each morning and enjoy a fresh coffee on your balcony while you soak in the views of the ocean and hills. Go down to your pool and enjoy a sunbathe on one of the poolside loungers, or have a refreshing dip to cool off from the midday sun. Cook up a delicious Greek breakfast in your fully equipped kitchen and dine all together around your stylish dining set. As the evenings roll in, sip on sundowners on your terrace, or make a big Greek salad and grill up some meats on your barbecue, to enjoy tucking into as the sun goes down.
