July, She Will Fly: Crete

Only steps away from Rapanias Beach, this heavenly home is blessed with unspoiled views over the Aegean Sea. Located in a sleepy spot in western Crete, you'll be staying near Kissamos which holds enchanting historical ruins. Even better, if you feel like taking a trip along the coastal road, Chania city is packed with attractions, including the 14th-century Venetian harbour and an archaeological museum inside the former monastery of St. Francis.

If you're an early riser, we highly recommend waking up under a white canopy and watching a striking sunrise from your private balcony. When you grow hungry, enjoy an alfresco breakfast beneath the sun-shaded pergola. Challenge your family to a ping pong match before splashing around in the pool – this shallow section is ideal for little ones. After you come back from an excursion, why not pamper yourself by booking a beauty treatment? In the evening, be sure to grill souvlaki on the barbecue and toast to a happy holiday with a glass of raki.
