Located in the picturesque village of Gerani, this Cretan villa offers proximity to the beach, a private pool, and incredible views from the balcony terraces which stretch from the surrounding olive groves out to the ocean. The kitchen’s breakfast bar is the ideal spot to start the day, preferably with a fresh pastry from one of the traditional bakeries that can be found in the centre of the village – a short seven-minute walk away. Spend your days lounging in the Mediterranean sunshine before slipping into the cool and refreshing waters of your private swimming pool. Or, why not take advantage of the shade offered by the canopy and work your way through your holiday reading? What’s more, beach days are just a fifteen-minute walk away so you can shortly be wandering the sands and listening to the crashing waves. In the evening, dine in one of the village's tavernas, or fire up the barbecue and cook your own Greek souvlaki to be enjoyed in the dining area inside which overlooks the pool. Then, why not end your nights gazing at the stars, using the telescope, or enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony?
