The Muse of Crete

The Muse of Crete: Crete

Found on a hillside in Lingaria, minutes away from the coast, this home ticks more than one box. Step outside to get better acquainted with the ocean views – especially enjoyable from the edge of the infinity pool or between napping on the sun bed. Though the interior is simplistic, there are surprising touches, like the bathroom tree and the easel in the living room. The location is another win, moments away from a beach promenade lined with tavernas and bars. When you're stuck on what to do, hire a boat or stop at the diving centre and see the island in a new light.
