The Location

This property is located in a very select and desirable area with limited building and all the picture postcard quaintness that is synonymous with the idealistic Greek island village. The village is located in a small sheltered cove with traditional fishing boats and secluded beaches. The area is of great historical importance and so development in the area is restricted. No large hotels, discos, or rowdy holidaymakers. Just off shore is a small island with an archaeological site. Fishing in the cove is very good and the bay is lined with several tavernas serving traditional Greek cuisine. A popular eating-place for Greeks on a Sunday.

Most of the village people speak some English and they are inviting and friendly. The village is five kilometres from the main road and is not on the bus route, this fact also helps to preserve its dreamy charm. The village has all the amenities for convenient modern living and also safe anchorage for those wishing to take to the sea.

The Property

Property in in this area of Crete is expensive and tends to hold its value, but these two apartments have just come on to the market at a very realistic price due to family ill health. Two minutes walk from the beach and tavernas, very well built, and tastefully decorated for easy maintenance.

The property consists of 3 floors. A ground floor apartment with a small low maintenance garden, and a larger apartment consisting of two spacious floors with wonderful sea views, energy efficient air conditioning, fireplaces, landscaping with automated irrigation and state of the art water filtration/softening system

The Ground floor apartment is a very reasonable 99,000 euro, and the two story apartment 198,000 euro, or very near offer.
If the entire property is desired the client is prepared to make a further 10,000 euro reduction on the portfolio. This is a rare opportunity to buy in such an exclusive place at these prices.

Ground Floor Apartment
Situated on the small road leading in to the village, two minutes walk from the beach and village centre; this new ground floor apartment has a traditional natural stone forecourt for parking. Stone steps through the garden lead to a short entrance hall with a spacious, 2.5 x 3 fully tiled bathroom/utility with close-coupled WC and tiled shower. Washing machine is plumbed in and there is space for the usual laundry utilities.

A second door from the hall leads to a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and air-condition. The floor is tastefully tiled with cream faux travertine. The hall leads to the kitchen area with new appliances including stainless steel double sink and drainer and stainless cooker hood. New fridge/freezer hob and other appliances are included. The kitchen splash-back and worktop are in ceramic and melamine faux travertine.

The kitchen area leads to a spacious lounge dining room with air condition, modern lighting and French windows leading to a stone walled low maintenance garden that would also make a nice BBQ area. The garden area has an integrated watering system and supports terracotta pots and urns containing Mediterranean succulents

Upper Floor Apartment
The front terrace has a built in stone seat flanked by two huge Cretan terracotta urns containing yucca palms. A covered entrance with heavy wooden front door leads into the hall. From the hall: a spacious, 2 x 2 tastefully tiled bathroom/utility with close-coupled WC, ceramic pedestal basin and designer vanity mirror. Washing machine is plumbed in and there is space for the usual laundry utilities. Modern lighting and a window with a fly screen complete the ground floor utility/cloakroom.

The entrance hall leads to a new modern, high quality, spacious open plan kitchen complete with halogen hob and stainless steel extractor, integral stainless steel oven, large stainless steel fridge freezer, double stainless steel sink, and integral dishwasher. The walls are tiled and the work surface is faux travertine. A large breakfast bar with built in microwave and two modern black bar stools completes the kitchen area. A suspended shelf above the breakfast bar matches the kitchen units.

The dining area is situated opposite the kitchen and breakfast bar area. It contains a dining table and chairs, window with fly-screen, and the entire kitchen/dining/lounge floor is with high quality cream travertine type tiles.

The kitchen/dining area leads to a spacious 4 x 3 Lounge with air-condition. An imposing, purposefully designed open fireplace of wood and genuine Italian rough stone travertine adds a special ambiance to winter evenings. Cut logs of olive wood are available for fuel, but one of the traditional winter pleasures is to collect driftwood from the beach in winter. Two new 2-seater sofas, rug and coffee table, and modern lighting complement the lounge; and heavy wooden windows with fly screens and patio door add to the feeling of space and light.

Wooden French doors lead onto a rustic tiled dining terrace with robust wooden privacy trellising and matching iron and tiled dining furniture. The terrace is complimented by Mediterranean plants in local terracotta urns that have an integral watering system. To the right are amazing views of the sea and The White Mountains leading to Sitia, which twinkle with clusters of village lights in the evening. The view to the left overlooks the local shoreline and the nearby archaeological island.

From the Kitchen/dining area genuine Italian travertine stone steps lead to the first floor.

First floor:
The cosy double bedroom with tiled floor and built in wardrobes has a spacious tiled bathroom on-suite. Double French windows lead on to a large terrace with rustic tiling and robust privacy trellising. The terrace is ornamented by terracotta urns with Mediterranean plants and an integral watering system.

The views from this terrace are even more amazing than from the dining terrace.
