Located on Crete’s east coast, this villa is just a short stroll from Plakas Beach. If you’re feeling adventurous wander a little further to catch a boat from Plakas Marina to Spinalonga island. The home itself is comfortable and packed with thoughtful touches, from the wine fridge in the kitchen to the private fitness room. But it’s the outside space that really steals the show – just look at those views from the infinity pool. The terrace is perfect for dining, though if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals, a private chef service can be arranged via your host.
