Beautiful exclusive Villa, very private, 30m from the sea/(Plaka beach/Elounda), garden, large marble surrounded infinity pool. The property is perfectly situated in a very safe area in East Crete directly on shore/beach (round pebbles) in the Gulf of Mirambello, exactly opposite of the marvellous antique Venetian fortress Spinalonga close to Plaka. Our reviews speak for themselves. Crete is surrounded by the sea and even in August almost never gets extremely hot due to the Summer north wind

The space
Unique Location directly on the sea, in 5 minutes walking distance of the wonderful pitoresque fishing village of Plaka, very individual interior design with tropical wood floor, colonial indian furniture pieces etc.
The village of Plaka with his unique Cafes and Fish taverns is a short stroll on the road behind the beach away from the property. A bus-stop is close. The small main village of Elounda is by bus less than 10 min away, the slightly larger pitoresque town of Agios Nicolaos with its unique lake and shopping streets about 25 min. In this realm touching the sea and a beach with crystal clear warm water you will find the place to feel home and fill your soul with sunshine and the spirits of antiquity. The hillside Villa is located directly on the sea above an unpaved road that follows for miles the coastline though uninhabited Cretan nature offering splendid views over sea and mountains. The hiking path E4 starts close-by.
