This home caught our attention with its sweeping views across the coast of Kalathas. It’s also just one kilometre from the nearest beach, while the close proximity to the town of Chania provides a great option for those seeking the island's vibrant spirit. And when you’re looking to escape from it all, the hilltop location of this home makes it easy to switch off and relax. Your host can also arrange lovely extras like beauty treatments and private chefs. But when it comes to keeping it simple, we think you’ll find perfect contentment swimming in the pool and sipping sunset drinks on the terrace.
