This brand, spanking new home mere minutes from the beach is a sure-fire Greek delight. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens and offering captivating Cretan views, this paradisal pad guarantees more than your daily dose of peace and tranquillity. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room – think all-white everything – and an incredible outdoor offering, it’s perfect for spending quality time with your nearest and dearest. Enjoy breakfast in the light-filled living space before padding across the gleaming marble-tiled floors and stepping out onto the patio. Head over to the covered terrace and get stuck into your holiday read while nesting on the outdoor furniture. Sun worshippers will want to lie out on the loungers beside the pool before taking the plunge. If, however, you’re feeling a little more energetic, why not tough it out on the exercise bike before rinsing off under the outdoor shower? Spend the afternoon gathered around the stone wall barbecue and dining alfresco on the terrace while admiring mesmerising mountain views. Alternatively, hang out at the beach – just a 3-minute walk away – before preparing a family-sized Greek salad on the white worktops in the kitchen. Make a beeline for your balcony and enjoy... sea views at sundown or get the gang together for cocktails and cards on the patio. At the day’s end, savour a little me-time while luxuriating in the jacuzzi bath. If sightseeing or taverna hopping is more your vibe, Georgiopoulis, with its picturesque harbour and sociable central square, is only 7km away. Rethymnon is also within easy reach.
