Facing the limestone mountains, you'll find this villa nuzzled in a lakeside village, dotted with traditional tavernas and pedal boats. While being surrounded by olive groves in an authentic setting sounds idyllic, lively Georgioupoli sits within easy reach if anyone fancies a beach day. Or, why not have Cretan excursions and watersport activities arranged for you? With a pool deck and a sea-viewing balcony awaiting, sunbathing at home is kept simple. We think the split-level garden is great for separating off after a barbecue supper.
