The warm waters of Kissamos Bay play host to luxury hotels, villas, and breathtaking beaches. Traditional food and wine aplenty can be found in its main urban sprawl, as well as historic intrigues such as the Archaeological Museum of Kissamos. But just an eight-minute drive from this ancient coastal town, this home offers modern-day living at its best. After your villa manager arranges your airport transfer and leaves you with a generous welcome pack, you can start exploring this 21st-century palace. Concrete, glass, and the sharp lines of the shaded terrace work together to create a standout structure on the shore. You could swim in the sea, but you’ve also got a heated pool and fabulous alfresco dining spot to enjoy in complete privacy. Inside, six metres of windows line the lounge, ensuring that you cannot miss those spectacular sea views. There are local touches too – the luxurious indoor spaces make use of native limestone and wood. High-end, Scandi-style furniture chimes elegantly with these natural resources, making sure this home retains its distinctly Cretan soul. You might be yachting far beyond the shores of Korfalonas, but you’ll always return home to awe-inspiring scenes.
