If it’s breath-taking views you seek, you’ve found it with this sparkling Cretan villa. Exuding luxury and elegance, the white façade lets the blue hues do the talking – the turquoise pool, shimmering hot tub, the bright sky, and of course, the Aegean Sea. The hillside position promises beautiful mornings by the pool – tucking into a breakfast of fresh fruit around the table, before relaxing on the sun loungers with a good book. With nothing but the rolling hills around, you can find total relaxation – the only sounds being the kids splashing in the pool. If you fancy a change of scenery, you’re just over 3 miles away from the nearest beach. When dusk rolls around, your chic sofa set is the place to be, overlooking the wildly beautiful sunset. Or better yet, hop in the bubbling hot tub with a glass of wine in hand for the ultimate luxurious experience. Evenings spent grazing a barbecued feast of local produce are always delightful, but if cooking isn’t on the cards, then you have plenty of other options. Although you might feel completely secluded in your own paradisical bubble, you’re close to the town of Kissamos where the selection of... tavernas is sure to tempt you.

Local guide
About Kissamos
Despite its idyllic coastline, Kissamos has remained relatively hidden from the crowds of tourists that descend on Crete each summer. It’s mainly locals you’ll see wandering the narrow streets here, but that’s not to say that this place is totally untouched by tourism. Stroll down to Telonio Beach’s cobbled promenade and you’ll find plenty of seaside tavernas serving hearty Cretan fare, as well as a smattering of bars and clubs...
