Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A villa like this is the perfect retreat in Crete. There's plenty of space for families and friends, as it consists of two separate buildings connected by a summer kitchen. Aside from the dramatic coastal views, the 15-metre-long infinity pool is certainly the most impressive feature. You can float in the water while listening to the sound of the crashing waves, hop in the Jacuzzi for a soak, or watch little ones splash about in the shallow area. Upon arrival, your host provides you with a hamper filled with local treats. There are also massage chairs for the ultimate relaxation. Factor in the location just a short drive from the beach and it's no surprise it caught our eye.
