Just 1.3 kilometres from Souda Beach, this bright villa enjoys uninterrupted views over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. With a wealth of attractions on the doorstep, it's easy to see how this holiday hotspot draws in tourists from far and wide. What's more, pretty Plakias is only 4.5 kilometres away, with traditional Greek taverns and enchanting Cretan eateries awaiting.

Perched on the hillside, this white-washed home may look like any other, but its geometric design offers a breath of fresh air. Each morning, wake up from a restful night's sleep and slip through the patio doors to stretch your legs. Then, sample some local cuisine at the sleek breakfast bar. After an adventure, you might want to spend your downtime sunbathing by the private pool, but we love that there are plenty of pergolas here for those who would rather escape the sunshine. Be sure to end the day with an evening barbecue, as you swap stories with your loved ones at sunset.
