With views of the Cretan sea and mountains from a secluded, sun-scorched plot, this paradisal villa offers lasting memories for a group of friends or family visiting the island. With only the neighbouring goats for company and the soft clanging of their bells as your soundtrack, you'll experience unparalleled peace in this scenic corner of Greece. The villa retains a calming ambience throughout, with a soft colour scheme of grey, white and splashes of aqua. Slide open the glass doors in the bright living space to let the ocean air waft in as you lounge on the L-shaped sofa. In the evenings, gather around the eight-person dining table to enjoy a traditional Greek meze – your host can arrange for a private chef to take the cooking off your hands. We suggest hiring a car so you can properly explore the island, from its colourful capital, Chania – just half an hour away – to the plethora of awe-inspiring beaches scattered along its coastline. Your closest, Marathi Beach, is only 900 metres away, so you know where to go for crystalline waters and warm white sands.
