An oasis of life and colour, this characterful villa in the seaside village of Koutsouras invites guests to enjoy all of its charms alongside sea views of the crystalline waters of the Libyan Sea in the distance. Amidst the mature garden featuring pine trees providing shaded refuge from the sun – relax by the swimming pool on the day beds or perched in one of the egg chair swings with a refreshing drink in hand. Breathe in the sweet air fragranced by the fresh flowers, Cretan herbs and fruit trees dotted around the garden.
