Description The Goddess of Peace: Iraklio

With unrivalled vistas like these, you can see why we had to add this home to the Plum collection. Located in Kokkini Hani, you'll be a short drive from the local sandy beaches, alongside an array of shops, restaurants and water sports activities. Embodying luxury both inside and out, the villa invites guests to balance leisure with relaxation through its amenities including a private swimming pool, gym, and basketball court. The host even provides six bikes – perfect for heading off on adventures around the Cretan hills. For more relaxed moments, you'll find plenty of perching spots before the sea views at the poolside loungers, jacuzzi hot tub, alfresco dining area and balcony lounge area.
