Feeling blue? This sea-facing villa has unbeatable balcony views over the Gulf of Heraklion for alfresco dining. The outdoor living space sells itself by boasting a waterfall-featured infinity pool and a jacuzzi. Hidden gems await indoors too, including a home gym, a wine cellar, plus a room to accommodate a nanny or housekeeper. Down a 180-metre-long path, you'll find a private beach tucked away from the world, but guests with reduced mobility will discover the sands of Panagia a short drive from here.

What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
