Description Cretan Lakeside Villa: Chania

Nestled in the countryside, surrounded by mountains, this villa captures the laid-back Cretan lifestyle. A scenic stroll through ancient olive groves brings you to the shores of Lake Kournas, where you can rent pedalos or picnic on the sand, while the sea is just a few minutes’ drive away. Inside, it’s bright and contemporary, with an open-plan living area that flows onto a terrace with a lounge, alfresco dining, and a swimming pool with a built-in hot tub. Fire up the barbecue for feasts under the stars, or wander down to one of the local tavernas to sample freshly caught fish and traditional Greek mezze.
