High in the hillsides of Imbros and at the foot of the White Mountains, the setting of this stone-clad Cretan home is one-of-a-kind. While the stone arches and wooden beams are charming, the mezzanine bedroom areas won't be for everyone. Accessed via wooden staircases and open to the living space below, it will undoubtedly make for a unique stay. While outside, that private pool with sweeping countryside vistas is a welcome new addition to the original stone courtyard. While Imbros' tavernas and small shops are within walking distance, you'll need a car to explore the island and its postcard-pretty beaches.

A cot and high chair are provided for little ones on request in advance.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
