Sea-facing views across Crete's rolling hills make this villa's terrace a stand-out. The covered patio, the private pool and the sunny lounge chairs provide ample opportunities to enjoy the fresh air and the scenery. Some of the elements inside are a bit flashy for our liking – particularly the boldly-printed blinds – but we do appreciate the exposed stone walls, which add a touch of authentic character to every room. And the location is perfect for exploring the island's southern stretch. While Kalamaki Beach is the nearest, we recommend a trip to Matala, a laid-back village with a sandy beach and bohemian shops – it's just a short drive away.

You may have to climb some stairs here

About Crete
The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. 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...
