Set one kilometre back from the shoreline, Greek supermarkets and open-air restaurants are a short drive from this villa. For families seeking a quiet break in the sun, the pool terrace and seating spots centre around outdoor living. But we think the small home gym and tiled bathtub offer bonuses inside, too. At nearby Kalathas Beach, bucket and spade days are aplenty, and you can rest easy knowing that the shallow waters are safe for kids and great for snorkelling.

Home truths:
*While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There’s free parking here, and we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. If you're travelling by plane, Chania Airport is a twenty-five-minute drive from this home.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*There's a small home gym here.
