Reading Time: 4 minutes

Table of Contents

On the serene southern coast of Crete, where olive groves meet endless sea views, the Sunny Days 5 project marks the newest addition to the highly successful Sunny Days series. Designed as a haven of calm, comfort, and refined aesthetics, this new development blends modern living with the timeless charm of the Cretan landscape.

Sunny Days: A Successful Series Of Projects

Inspired by the sun-soaked months of the Cretan summer, this collection of holiday homes welcomes you to a place where sunshine is a way of life.

With the first project launched in 2022, a total of 43 Sunny Days Villas have already been sold in four previous successful projects. The houses of Sunny Days 1 and 2 have already been delivered to the owners in previous years, the villas of Sunny Days 3 are currently in the delivery process, and Sunny Days 4 is now under construction.

About Sunny Days 5: Inspired by Authentic Crete

Sunny Days 5 comprises 19 thoughtfully designed homes built on a large amphitheatre plot just outside the village of Asomatos, only 5 km from the seaside town of Plakias. Amidst a serene green landscape, the plot has expansive valley views, with the bay of Plakias on the right and the Paximadia Islands on the left.

The project consists of:

  • 4 one-bedroom single-storey bungalows with jacuzzi, from €140,000
  • 6 two-bedroom villas with private pools, from €235,000
  • 9 three-bedroom villas with private pools, from €278,000

Architecture That Marries Tradition & Contemporary Elegance

The architectural identity of the project draws on the typical Greek island style you know from Santorini and Mykonos, perfectly blended into the quiet south coast of Crete. Traditional elements are paired with clean modern lines and premium materials, creating a sophisticated balance between heritage and contemporary comfort.

The outdoor landscape design follows a similar philosophy: simple, organic, and respectful of the area’s natural beauty. Walkways weave through the residences, inviting residents to wander and fully take in the surrounding scenery.

Location: Asomatos, A Village Surrounded By Rich Natural Beauty

The village of Asomatos is a peaceful retreat, located:

  • 10 minutes from Plakias
  • 30 minutes from Rethymno
  • 90 minutes from Heraklion
  • 80 minutes from Chania

Despite its tranquillity, Asomatos offers small everyday comforts: a mini market, traditional workshops, a taverna, a pottery studio, a wood-carving shop, and even a charming local museum.

Nearby, some of Crete’s most iconic natural wonders await:

Kourtaliotiko Gorge

  • Kourtaliotiko Gorge and its famous waterfall (700 m. away)
  • Preveli Beach/Palm Forest, with its palm forest and river lagoon
  • Schinaria Beach, renowned for diving and crystal-clear waters

This location strikes the perfect balance. It’s secluded, yet close to some of the island’s most spectacular landscapes.

What Makes Crete A Wise Choice

Crete is Greece’s largest and most diverse island. A unique mix of high mountains, lush valleys, long sandy beaches, and unspoiled bays makes it a destination that appeals to every type of traveller.

Crete remains one of the Mediterranean’s most attractive places to own a holiday home and there are reasons behind that:

  • Mild winters
  • Extended summer season
  • Direct international flights year-round
  • Strong tourism demand
  • Beautiful exotic places to see, seaside and mountainous
  • Enchanting and delicious traditional cuisine

A Smart Investment with Strong Rental Potential

The previous Sunny Days projects were sold out rapidly, a testament to their desirable design, excellent pricing, and exceptional rental potential.

Sunny Days 5 Villas continue this legacy, offering:

  • excellent short-term rental appeal
  • high occupancy potential
  • exceptional projected value appreciation
  • strong long-term return of investment (ROI)

Whether for personal use, vacation stays, or rental income, these villas present a reliable and appealing investment opportunity.

Your New Home Awaits in Sunny Days 5

Based on the history of the previous Sunny Days projects, we expect the first villas to be reserved soon after the launch of this new project. If you’re interested, fill in the form below and be sure to receive the brochure and floor plans as soon as the listing is online.
