Sun-Soaked

Perched above the sparkling coves of Agioi Apostoloi, this contemporary apartment sits metres away from the soft sands and water’s edge. A sea view is top of the list for a Cretan stay – and this home provides multiple spots of panoramic viewing so that you can enjoy the vistas from every vantage point. Wake up and pad out to your private balcony to the most of the scenery, a freshly-brewed coffee in hand. The light-filled interior is completely modern in style with smooth tiled flooring, neutral hues and sleek white surfaces – it’s the ideal spot for shaded quality time. We love the open kitchen-cum-dining area for leisurely breakfasts, whilst the large linen sofa is the perfect spot to enjoy turning the pages of your holiday read. Outside, there’s a shared pool for morning laps or to cool off when the midday Mediterranean sun is at its peak. If you’re seeking golden skin, stretch out on the relaxing sun loungers to absorb the rays or put up an umbrella for a shaded siesta. With the beach just 20m away, we imagine you’ll want to spend most of your time with the sand beneath your feet – pack a picnic or head to a seafront taverna for a Greek feast. If you’re feeling like an evening out, head into the historic city of Chania, just a short drive away. You’ll find buzzy bars, sea-grazing restaurants and a 14th-century Venetian harbour here.
