With stunning views over Almyrida beach and the mountain plateau, this Crete villa is perfectly appointed for gazing out to sea while taking time to slow right down and unwind. Sitting atop a hill, you'll have direct access down to the beach, with an endless stretch of water that can be seen from the balcony and poolside terrace. Sit down for a Greek lunch of stuffed vine leaves, olives, hummus and pita under the large veranda. Open the sliding doors for seamless modern living. We love how the living space is wonderfully bright and open, while the homey decor makes the bedrooms feel cosy and inviting. Rustle up your favourite dishes in the sleek island kitchen, as you look out across the turquoise horizon. The views are spectacular from just about every angle and beckon for sunset drinks later on. Spend sun-soaked days relaxing on the loungers and swimming in the pool, or get out and explore this historical area. Make your way down to Almyrida for excellent seafood restaurants and traditional Greek tavernas, right on your doorstep. Alternatively, visit the charming neighbouring villages, such as Gavalohori, and taste the local cuisine in a quiet, authentic setting, before returning home...
