Perched on a sleepy hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea and Dia Island is a rambling multi-terraced villa among the wild cretin terrain. Large patios suspend over the hill, one with an infinity pool, all dotted with comfortable loungers and hammocks. The air is filled with the pungent scent of fresh herbs. This is the isle of Crete, the crossroads of civilization. Explore the small villages, the ancient ruins, the beaches and foods to feel the magic of the Mediterranean.
