Ariadne's Escape Adelianos Kampos, Crete

Property Description

This pretty stone villa sits in a peaceful setting in Adelianos Kampos. It’s in a quiet area that’s close to the action – you get the best of both worlds here. The closest beach is a breezy 350-metre walk away, so you can merrily spend your days on the soft white sand and paddling in the sea. Lively Platanias, with its wealth of bars, restaurants and cafes, is a five-minute drive, and you can easily hop in a cab if you’ve not got a car.

The villa itself is a delight to behold. Traditional stone accents and exposed wooden beams complement the terracotta tiles, which keep the home nice and cool even in the middle of summer. You’ll wake up each morning to the sun streaming through the windows, tempting you outside to make the most of the warm weather.

Sip your coffee on the balcony and admire the sea views. There are shaded spots for you to cool down in, as well as a sun-drenched garden for those looking to work on a tan. We’d be spending most of our time in the private heated swimming pool, splashing about with little ones and floating beneath a cloudless sky.

When the evening rolls around, fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. Watch as the sun lowers in the sky, and the stars begin to emerge. Sip cocktails in the garden and spot constellations. Bliss.
