Olive Haze

Some holidays are all about relaxing. This beautiful villa is the perfect choice if you want to focus on R&R – you’re almost guaranteed to leave here feeling totally blissed out.

The villa is a pretty, calm space to call home. You’ll love the warm decor and how comfortable it is. Of course, you’ll likely be spending most of your time outside, revelling in the gorgeous sunshine. You’ll wake up with the sun streaming onto your pillow, tempting you outside. Perhaps you’ll dive right into your private pool, or maybe you’ll sip a cup of coffee first. The enclosed terrace is a lovely spot for alfresco dining – in the evenings we’d definitely be firing up the barbecue and preparing a feast of fresh, local seafood.

A secluded beach can be reached via a path down a nearby cliff. Its clear turquoise waters are perfect for snorkelling. The soft sand and warm, shallow waters of Gerakas Beach, meanwhile, are perfect for children. It’s just a ten-minute walk away, and best of all, it’s a turtle-nesting beach. Time your visit right and you’ll have a holiday memory to treasure forever.
