In the mythology of ancient Crete, Daedalus was the famously skilled architect, artist, and inventor who designed the fabled labyrinth of King Minos. With such epic stories in mind, Villa Daedalus in Elounda, Greece, just outside of picturesque Agios Nikolaos, Greece, is a reminder that stunning architecture and beauty are still alive on Greece’s largest island. On the market for slightly less than $14.3 million (12.5 million euros), this stunning estate offers exclusivity, views to die for, and direct access to the sea.

The villa’s privileged position outside Agios Nikolaos helps create the feeling the property is a world apart. Courtesy of Greece Sotheby's International Realty
