Inside, you’ll find the stone walls and tiled floors elegantly blend with comfortable furnishings of an earthy tone, providing a tasteful simplicity. This makes it the perfect place for friends and family to gather and relax after long days touring historic sites, hiking around the legendary Mount Ida, or swimming in the local crystal-clear waters.

If the home’s interior brings about a zen-like sense of calm, then outside you’ll find the energy begins to rise around the dazzling pool patio. Here, you can lounge in the sun with a cocktail before cooling off in the pool, grill-up a feast on the barbecue, and enjoy dinners alfresco with a backdrop of ocean vistas.
