You’ll find this contemporary villa a mere 600 metres away from Ammoudara beach – so, sinking your feet into the golden sands is a breeze. Made for outdoor living, spend your days enjoying alfresco meals, topping up your tan on the sun-drenched terrace, or swimming lazy laps in the pool. Fancy exploring further afield? There's a selection of shops and restaurants within walking distance, or hop in the car or on the local bus (the stop's a mere three-minute walk away) and take a day trip to Heraklion.

Home truths:
*The two single beds in the second bedroom may be pushed together.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking available here.
