Nestled into the hillside with unobstructed sea vistas, this home is ready to welcome you in and wrap you up in its warmth. Step inside, and the earthy tones set a cosy, comfortable atmosphere – you can instantly tell that this is a place you’ll be keen to retreat to and unwind in after a day out exploring the Crete coastline. Everything you need to rustle up a home-cooked meal is here waiting for you, but you may prefer to dine out at one of the many local taverns, famed for their delicious cuisine. Outdoors, this home goes from cosy and understated to bursting into life. The views are like something you’d see on a postcard, with the endless ocean stretching out before you to the horizon. Settle down on a sun lounger with a refreshing juice, close your eyes and let the sun warm your skin – you may find yourself drifting off as the gentle sounds of the ocean wash contentment and sleepiness over you. When you need a little respite from the sun, slide into the sparkling waters of your private pool, where you can still enjoy the sea views. If you can tear yourself away from this... villa, we’d recommend a trip to Plakias. With its long, sandy beach, there’s an abundance of water sports on offer for those seeking adventure, or you can simply sink your toes into the sand and breathe in the refreshing sea air.
