Elounda Sunlight

Tucked among olive groves near Elounda, this minimalist Crete villa keeps things simple – but in a very good way. Think clean design, plenty of space and a private pool that quickly becomes the main event. Slow it down under the pergola, fire up the barbecue, dip in and out of the pool, or wander the garden with a glass of something local in hand (there’s even a wine cellar for that). Inside, three bedrooms and open-plan living make it ideal for families or friends. And when you’re ready to explore, beaches, tavernas and Elounda village are all just minutes away.
