Only a stone's throw away from the sparkling Sea of Crete, this modern villa sits 50 metres from Platanes Beach. On your doorstep, you'll discover a variety of seaside bars and laidback eateries. Or, by driving along the northern coastline, you'll stumble across Rethimno, where the Venetian Fortezza Castle awaits amid the city's astonishing old town.

Each morning, come downstairs into your polished kitchen and gather around this intimate dining table for a Cretan breakfast. We think that this is the ideal spot to plan your daily itinerary over a cup of coffee. Perhaps you'll want to head straight out on an adventure, but you'll be itching to return to your sun-kissed terrace later in the day. Whether you're lazing on a lounger or dipping your toes into this private pool, there's no better way to spend your time here than outdoors. Make a sunset toast with a glass of raki before challenging your friends to a nightly ping pong match at home.
