Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This villa, a short drive from the north coast of Crete, accommodates the whole family. The home is spread across three floors, so not only do you benefit from sea views, but there is also plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing. Though we think you’ll spend most of your time outside here, thanks to the dining terrace, swimming pool and bar. When you do fancy exploring, you’re around 3.5 kilometres away from Milatos Beach and a smattering of traditional tavernas.
