The phrase 'a stone's throw' is often used a little too liberally — not all of us have a powerful overarm — but when it comes to the distance between this home and the beach, it really is true. Step out of the covered terrace area and you're a matter of footsteps from the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. Further along the coast, you can hop from beach to beach – that is, if you’re able to leave the comforts of the Mediterranean home behind. We won’t blame you if you spend afternoons in the pool with an eye on the sea views, or sizzling halloumi and pepper skewers on the barbecue, but if you can tear yourself away, go visit restaurants and shops in the town of Skaleta, which can be walked to in five minutes.

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...
