Purposely built to give you the most beautiful panoramic views of Plaka bay, this modern villa lies only minutes from the beach. Prepare alfresco meals in the outdoor kitchen to make the most of the sunshine and overlook Spinalonga Island from the private swimming pool. Though there's a large dining table, the living room might lack a little room for fourteen guests, but the sprawling terrace makes up for that. Besides, who'd want to be cooped up inside when the outdoors has so much to offer? The little play set is a bonus for families travelling with kids.
