Set within a secluded coastal landscape on Crete’s southern shore, this beachfront villa offers uninterrupted views across the Libyan Sea. Surrounded by sand dunes and ancient olive groves, the estate is reached via a winding road that leads past a charming chapel dedicated to Saint Demetrios.
Perched on a hillside, the property enjoys sweeping vistas of the reef and golden beach below. The villa comprises ten sea-facing bedrooms, six of which open directly onto the outdoors. Each room is elegantly styled with natural materials and soft, earthy tones that echo the surrounding environment.
Designed for relaxed outdoor living, the main pergola features two dining areas, while the infinity pool appears to flow seamlessly into the sea. A second pergola houses a barbecue kitchen and generous dining space, complete with a built-in sofa ideal for taking in the views.
Near the chapel, a traditional Cretan cookery invites guests to experience the island’s culinary heritage, featuring a wood-fired oven and an “Antikristiera” for preparing lamb in the age-old Antikristo style. It’s a setting that captures the essence of Cretan hospitality, blending authenticity with effortless style.
Crete offers a diverse landscape of mountains and coastal areas. Discover oceanfront restaurants, narrow cobblestone streets, and ancient archaeological sites. Enjoy scenic hikes through rugged peaks, swaying landscapes, and lush forests.
The village of Arvi, located 2km away, features charming taverns, supermarkets, and a local medical centre. The municipality's capital, Viannos, is 15km from the villa and offers shopping districts and eateries. Pharmacy services and a 24/7 medical facility are also available. Fishing is popular in the seaside hamlet of Keratokampos (8km), and leisurely strolls can be enjoyed in the city of Heraklion (80km).
A three-hour drive takes you to Chania, a captivating town along Crete's northern coast amidst the White Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. History enthusiasts can explore the renowned Nevetian harbour, Nautical Museum, and 16th-century lighthouse. Visit art exhibitions at the Yali Mosque, now known for waterfront events. Discover the vibrant old Chania market, indulge in street food, and shop for souvenirs and artefacts.
