Divine Beginnings

Divine Beginnings: Crete

Nestled in the village of Polemarchi, surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery and sparkling blue ocean, this charming home is the perfect base for exploring Chania. Boasting a private balcony, you can begin your days by looking over the azure Mediterranean Sea whilst drinking your morning coffee. The shared garden, full of colourful flowers, offers spectacular panoramic views – take a seat on a comfy sun lounger and soak up the Cretian sun, or take a dip in the swimming pool to energise yourself before heading out to enjoy the island.

You'll be mere minutes from a pristine beach here, where you can swim in the crystal clear ocean and take a stroll along the golden sand. The nearby villages offer authentic culture and some of the most refined gastronomy in Greece if you're keen to taste the local delicacies.

Speaking of food, the garden has a barbecue and outdoor dining area, which is perfect for alfresco dinners as the sun sets in the background.
