Picturesque 3 Bedroom Villa - Crete, Greece

Leaving the main thoroughfare connecting Heraklion to the east of the island, a winding road transports you down to the coast; a picturesque descent through a rural Mediterranean landscape that remains unspoilt by large tourist developments and retains its uniquely Cretan feel. Here is where you will find this stunning villa, nestled away in the hillside.

The smart open-plan living area has sliding doors on dual aspects, creating a lovely flow between the cool interiors and panoramic terrace where there’s plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the spectacular vista. Lazy breakfasts and long lunches can be enjoyed in the shade of the wooden pergola, with the infinity pool close by for a refreshing dip when the going gets hot. Hydro massage jets add to the enjoyment and relaxation here, strategically placed in the water to ensure your eyes are drawn across the clear blue yonder as they work their magic.

Evenings at the villa are a delight and as the sun sinks behind the mountains, the little lights around the harbour twinkle into view. Head down for a drink and a bite by the water’s edge, where you’ll find a surprisingly upmarket selection of cafés and tavernas wrapped around the little beach.
