This family holiday home is in the fishing village of Almyrida, to the east of Crete’s Souda Bay. You’ll be just a few metres from the sea, so beach trips can easily be added to the itinerary. The villa is an excellent choice of base for family or friends, with plenty of space for everyone to gather together inside and out. Outside, you’ll love the private pool, which sits in a garden filled with palm trees. There’s a veranda for alfresco dining and a barbecue stone for grilling up fresh seafood. Staying here, you’re sure to relax.
