With two swimming pools, a tennis court, and various seating areas, this villa already has a dreamy outdoor space. Throw in views of the infinite blue sea and the curves of the island itself, and you find yourself in your own personal paradise. Sit out on the balcony every morning, admiring the horizon as you nurse your very first coffee of the day. Admire it again at lunch when you fire up the grill in the covered outdoor kitchen, and again when you’re lounging poolside with a glass of wine. When your eyes aren’t glued to the sea, you may notice the Cycladic-style fireplace, the neutral colour palette, and the natural light streaming in through the windows. Bookworms will love finding a comfortable nook in which to read, whilst others can keep themselves busy in the games room or on the court. With the villa split into four apartments, bigger groups can be broken down into smaller parties so everyone has their own kitchen and living space for a bit of privacy. Come together in the pool or around the barbecue, or venture out for a day at the beach. There are also a number of hiking areas for anyone... looking to get a closer look at the natural vegetation. Heraklion waits at the other end of a short drive – go and explore, visit the tavernas and return with a few sweet treats. Enjoy your baklava with wine as you sit out on the balcony at sundown and go for an evening swim before making yourself comfortable in a sunlounger as you stare up at the clear night sky.

Local guide
About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
