Set on the rocks above the crystal clear waters of South Crete, Domus Mare Villas are a haven of tranquility, enjoying full privacy away from it all, boasting privileged access to an isolated cove and stunning sea views out to Paximadia island. Domus Mare I and II are a newly built complex of 2 villas, in an enviable position, rubbing shoulders with the Lybian sea, offering an awe-inspiring coastal sea view. Waves lapping the shore create the perfect calming rhythm to complement the serene outdoor environment with its beautifully landscaped garden of local flora and beach-style pool.
