Characterised by its clean modern lines and the way in which it invites the outside in, this stunning apartment offers a chic, stylish starting point for your sun-soaked escape beneath the Cretan sun. Lounge on the expansive furnished terrace, taking in the spectacular sea views from the private hot tub, or head down to the beach just a few metres away for a dip in the glittering Aegean. We especially love the sumptuous bathrooms of this home, and think they provide the perfect space for some pre-dinner pampering, followed by a drink in the beautiful living area. Despite feeling far away from it all, the apartment is conveniently located close to the lively local tavernas in the village of Koutsouras.
