Minimalist yet stylish, this modern villa has everything you need for a relaxing stay. There's a private pool with views of the sea, a sunny terrace ideal for alfresco dining, and even an artificial beach where you can sprawl out on the sand. All bedrooms are en-suite, making this a fantastic option for friends and large families. If you want to stretch your legs a little, the nearest beach is a short walk away. Or, hop in the car and explore Heraklion or Agios Nikolaos, both worthwhile day trips.
