Description The Plunge: Xirokampos

Just a short drive from the port city of Heraklion, this small yet chic villa provides easy access to the local beachfront with its tavernas and bars, while also offering an ideal base for discovering the island’s ancient history. Although the villa itself may be small, the expansive terrace connects seamlessly with the main living room to create an ample indoor-outdoor social space. The surrounding verdant hills also provide picturesque views whether enjoying a home cooked meal in the diner or sipping a morning coffee by the pool.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*The villa is set over one floor and offers step-free access to the pool patio
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*While there is no desk, there are multiple tables that can double as laptop-friendly workspaces
*We recommend hiring a car to further explore the island – on-site parking is available
