Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Looking to be close to the beach? Look no further. Secluded yet conveniently placed, this family-size villa is a two-minute walk from the pristine white sands of Damnoni beach. It's set back from the Mediterranean Sea, so you can also while away the sun-soaked afternoons from the peace and privacy of your villa. Cool down with a dip in your pool, before drying off on a sun lounger with your holiday read. When lunchtime arrives, serve up a tasty selection of breads and dips in the outdoor dining area. Stepping inside, it's a seamless blend of traditional design, modern styling and muted tones that creates a calm and comfortable place to call home. We love the stone walls and white-painted timber ceilings, while the marble flooring and en-suite bathrooms adds that extra level of luxury. When it's time to head out, you're within easy walking distance of local taverns and just 3 kilometres from the famous Plakias area, boasting water sports, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. And, if you wish to explore further afield, beautiful south Crete is just a short drive from the villa.
