Description A Beach Scene: Chania

With two private pools and expansive sea views, it’s clear to see why this villa, perched on Crete’s sun-soaked Akrotiri peninsula, has earned a spot on our list. The six en-suite bedrooms make it perfect for larger groups – think celebrations with family or friends. Add to that multiple outdoor spaces for dining, playing and chilling (including one infinity and one lap pool), and you’ve got your dream holiday home. And it's all within easy reach of the tavernas, shops and restaurants and Chania.
