Blending classic and contemporary design, come and see how this New York-style apartment surrounds the iconic Vitruvian Man with exposed brickwork. An undeniably cool spot to graze on a Greek cheeseboard after sightseeing, we love that this home prioritises the flow of indoor-outdoor living. Each morning, simply slip out onto your sun-kissed balcony and relish the warm weather. No matter if you're chilling out around the coffee table or sipping ouzo at the breakfast bar, it's a great base for travellers who just want to get up and go.

Sitting on the edge of Chania's old town, you're only a short stroll away from the tourist hotspots of Chalidon Street and the Venetian Port. A mere 130 metres from your doorstep, perhaps Nea Chora Beach will beckon you to sunbathe atop golden sands and saunter along the restaurant-lined seafront. Alternatively, with easy access to the motorway, planning out road trips to the cities of Rethymnon and Heraklion couldn't be simpler.
