The Azure Aegean

The Azure Aegean: Crete

Overlooking the deep blue Aegean Sea, this contemporary villa is perfectly positioned to explore Crete’s coastline. The main villa sleeps four guests, while the neighbouring annexe has a little more privacy for an additional couple. The interiors are contemporary and bright – though the outdoor areas are what really appeal here. We love the small but perfectly formed pool and shaded outdoor dining areas, which are ideal for dinners cooked on the barbecue. The balcony is great for cocktails at sunset. Situated just a two-minute walk from Nopigia, the beachfront and restaurants can be easily reached, too.
