Well, you won’t be woken by the noise of honking horns here. Drop the tempo and take in the rolling hills that surround you. We love the original vaulted architecture, but all the mod-cons are in place too. Original doesn’t equal shambolic in our book. The most taxing choice of the day will be which lounger to go for. Or maybe the swinging chair gets your vote? With lawns for badminton, a private pool and lots of terrace space, this home is designed for outdoor living. And when you tire of alfresco meals in the dappled gardens, the local tavernas do a great souvlaki we’ve heard (brave among you will take a hillside hike lasting about 30 minutes), but even driving here is a treat given it’s so picture-worthy.

About Kokkino Chorio
Wander along Kokkino Chorio’s picturesque streets, and you’ll soon see why this sleepy village played a starring role in the 1964 Academy Award-winning film ‘Zorba the Greek’. Even so, it wasn’t until recently that European tourists got wind of its seaside charm and began flocking to it in the warm, summer months, enjoying gorgeous views of Souda Bay and sampling local, Cretan cuisine at a handful of family-run tavernas.

This home is managed by Oliver
