Mediterranean Diet

Located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, this wonderful villa offers a slightly different option for large groups travelling together that want the option of privacy. It looks like one property from the outside, but each floor is a separate apartment in itself, each with a lounge, fireplace, kitchen and dining area. The upper storey has a balcony, but the lower level has direct access to the garden.

We don't like to pick favourites, but we'd probably plump for the ground floor, purely for the reason that it would get us to the home's wonderful exterior that little bit quicker. Out here, you'll find a long saltwater swimming pool, a covered barbecue area and a dining area underneath a pergola where you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. All of this is set in a pleasant plot populated by olive trees, aromatic herbs and Mediterranean flowers.

Another perk is that there are beaches in pretty much every direction you head in, with the closest — Agios Ounoufrios — only ten minutes' walk away. Chania Town only takes a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, as well.
