Architecturally designed and boasting scenic views, this stylish villa is perfect for a group of six. It's spread across three levels, so space won't be an issue, though we reckon all your time will be spent in the outdoors. Sun-kissed terraces are perfect for alfresco dining and evening cocktails, while the swimming pool helps keep things cool during the height of summer. If you fancy eating out, the tavernas of Kera are less than a ten-minute drive away. Ready to hit the beach? Almyrida is a short drive away. Or, venture further afield to Chania's Old Town, forty minutes by car.

Local guide
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.
