Feeling blue? This sea-facing villa has unbeatable balcony views over the Gulf of Heraklion for alfresco dining. The outdoor living space sells itself by boasting a waterfall-featured infinity pool and a jacuzzi. Hidden gems await indoors too, including a home gym, a wine cellar, plus a room to accommodate a nanny or housekeeper. Down a 180-metre-long path, you'll find a private beach tucked away from the world, but guests with reduced mobility will discover the sands of Panagia a short drive from here.

Local guide


About Heraklion Town

Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade.
