Nestled on the coastline, this minimalist villa is located in the small village of Kalyves. Contemporary in design, this home offers a relaxing base to explore Crete. The terrace and private swimming pool are perfect for lazy days in the Greek sun. While the shaded dining area is the ultimate spot for sundowners and a bite to eat. Fancy a trip to the beach? Just a few meters from the villa – you’ll find a sandy beach and blue waters. The village isn’t too far either – where you can discover plenty of authentic food and local tavernas.
