Beach Hop Hideaway

Beach Hop Hideaway: Crete

On the picture-perfect south coast of Crete, in the quaint village of Mariou, this serene villa beckons. With views over the seaside landscape, this home showcases all of the natural beauty this Greek island has to offer.

Start the day by brewing a fresh cup of coffee before opening up the patio doors and stepping out onto the private terrace. Take a seat on the outdoor sofa and enjoy the breathtaking views over the Crete coastline. For a leisurely day at home, take a dip in the swimming pool then retire to a sun lounger to read a book or simply watch the world go by.

When you do fancy leaving the terrace, there’s plenty of natural beauty to discover, with the striking Preveli beach just 3 miles away. If beach hopping is your thing, we’d recommend renting a car and driving 3km to Plakias, which is home to some of the best beaches in Crete - the scenic drive past mountains and the Libyan sea makes the trip even more worth your while.
