Named after the dynamic goddess of the wilderness and hunt, its beachfront location truly justifies the name “on the waves.” Spread across three levels and 200 sqm, the villa accommodates up to nine guests and features elegant design, premium amenities, and a lush private garden that blends seamlessly with the sea. On the ground floor, guests are welcomed by an open-plan living area with a large corner sofa, handcrafted details adorned with Swarovski crystals, ambient lighting, and a gas fireplace. A stylish dining area, a 65’’ curved Smart TV, and a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and double-door fridge complete the setting, while large glass doors connect the interior with the terrace and garden. The lower level includes a private gym with Kettler equipment, a playroom for all ages, a romantic double bedroom, a bathroom with bathtub, and a laundry area with washer, dryer, and storage. Upstairs, the first floor is dedicated to refined hospitality. The master bedroom in soft earthy tones features a romantic metallic bed, Swarovski lighting, two private verandas with sea views, and an ensuite shower. Two more bedrooms, one double and one with bunk beds (a double and a single) and a luxurious bathroom with hydromassage shower, minibar, and stunning sea views complete this level. Outdoors, Villa Artemis shines with expansive verandas offering privacy, panoramic sea views, and elegant lounging spaces. Enjoy breakfast or a romantic dinner on the terrace, surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the archaeological site of the ancient Minoan pottery workshops dating back more than 3,000 years — a place chosen from the Minoans for its unique, mild microclimate.
