The peaceful and pretty village of Skines in Western Crete, approx 14 km from Chania, is the setting for this attractively designed country villa, with its tall stone chimney and terracotta tiled roof. The villa is approx 120sqm in size, positioned within grounds of 1300sqm, and has well tended gardens, with spacious sun terraces and a 36sqm swimming pool.

Both bedrooms have access to a large sun terrace with splendid far reaching views across to the majestic White Mountains.

There are a number of tavernas in the village, while a beautiful sandy beach, and a wide selection of shops and tavenas can be found at the tourist resort of Platanias, which at 12 km distance is approx a 10-15 minute drive away.
