Blank Slate Galatas, Crete

Property Description

Ranged up in the hills, a fifteen-minute drive from the picture-perfect city of Chania, this sleek villa celebrates laidback Cretan lifestyle. Balconies and terraces call for days spent outside – settle on a lounger with a gripping novel or take a refreshing dip in the pool when the temperature starts to rise.

Pause to soak up the unfettered views of the Sea of Crete – if you think it’s special in the daytime, wait until you see it at sunset. Inside, the home is comfortable and timeless with marble-effect floors adding a touch of elegance. We loved how the neutral colour scheme adds to the effortless flow between indoor-outdoor living.

Prepare side dishes in the kitchenette before firing up the barbecue for lunch in the sunshine. After a delicious feast and a catnap in sumptuous beds, slide on your sandals and take the ten-minute stroll to Glaros Beach. Lie back and relax on the sands or hire a private yacht, arranged by your fantastic host, and sail across the still waters.
