Description
Start your mornings steps from the sea, where the scent of salt air mixes with the aroma of olive trees, and sunlight glistens over Souda Bay. End your day in an 18-meter infinity pool or a private spa, surrounded by panoramic views and absolute serenity. This is more than a home — it’s a sanctuary crafted for elevated, year-round living.
Just 190 meters from the sea and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Apokoronas region, this exceptional property offers two independent luxury villas on a private, gated plot of 5,630 square meters. Located near the traditional village of Plaka and the beach town of Almyrida, the estate enjoys total privacy and uninterrupted views of the bay, the White Mountains, and the olive-covered landscape.
Together, the two villas span 372 square meters and offer five en-suite bedrooms, extensive indoor and outdoor living areas, and a private wellness complex. The architectural design strikes a balance between contemporary lines and natural textures, incorporating local stone to create a refined yet understated aesthetic that feels perfectly at home in the Cretan landscape.
The White House unfolds across three elegantly designed levels, each offering a distinct sense of comfort, functionality, and refined living. On the ground floor, a serene guest bedroom with a private bathroom, a dedicated laundry space, and a climate-controlled wine and olive oil cellar set the tone for effortless everyday luxury. A spacious multi-purpose room — currently designated as a garage — can easily transform into a private gym, playroom, or creative studio, thanks to floor-to-ceiling folding glass doors that open fully to the landscape.
Ascending to the first floor, the private quarters are a haven of calm. The master suite invites you to wake up to breathtaking sea and mountain views, unwind in a deep soaking tub, and enjoy the privacy of a walk-in wardrobe. A second en-suite bedroom overlooks the verdant atrium garden, while a lounge area — perfect as a reading nook or quiet retreat — anchors the space. From this level, step directly onto the outdoor terrace where the shaded summer kitchen, pergola, and the spectacular infinity pool await. It’s an ideal setting for sun-soaked afternoons or intimate evening gatherings under the stars.
The top floor is a celebration of connection and panoramic beauty. Here, an open-plan living and dining area welcomes both relaxed family dinners and larger-scale entertaining — comfortably seating up to 30 guests. The west-facing terrace, draped in a pergola and overlooking Souda Bay, is made for sunset dining and elegant al fresco moments. A small bridge extends from the terrace to the gardens below, seamlessly merging the home’s elevated interiors with the serenity of its natural surroundings.
The independent Stone House includes two stylish bedrooms with private baths, a living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen, opening onto a private shaded veranda. It’s a perfect guest house or high-end rental unit, maintaining full privacy from the main home.
Set within landscaped gardens, the estate offers an 18-meter heated saltwater infinity pool with unobstructed sea views, a spa zone with jacuzzi, sauna, massage lounge, a private gym, tennis court, and pétanque court. A secure garage stores up to five bicycles for exploring the countryside. The home is built to the highest technical standards: energy class A+, photovoltaic system with battery bank, triple-glazed Schüco windows, waterborne underfloor heating and cooling, app-controlled systems, and an automated rainwater-fed irrigation system for the olive grove and gardens. There are covered parking spots with an EV charger and additional space within the grove.
With 90 producing olive trees yielding up to 300 liters of extra virgin olive oil annually, dedicated rooms for wine, linen, and garden equipment, and no further investment needed, the property is sold fully furnished and equipped. High-end appliances, designer lighting, and finishes like Italian travertine marble make this estate as elegant as it is functional. The villas also offer high seasonal rental income potential and are eligible for Greece’s Golden Visa program.
This is more than a home — it’s a complete lifestyle estate, offering luxury, wellness, and long-term value in one of Crete’s most sought-after coastal destinations.
Set in Plaka, a charming hillside village in Apokoronas, the property offers rare access to the tranquility of traditional Cretan life while remaining moments from the beaches and vibrant tavernas of Almyrida. This is one of the most sought-after enclaves on Crete’s northwest coast, prized for its scenery, authenticity, and lifestyle appeal.
