A short distance from windsurfing, snorkeling, and more, this welcoming villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Heraklion Port or the 16-minute drive to Palace of Knossos (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the picnic area. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and pool table.

A fireplace, luggage storage, a desk, and dry cleaning/laundry services are featured at this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental. You can also use the deep soaking bathtub, plus other bathroom amenities like towels and a hair dryer. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and a toaster. And there's a washer/dryer, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
