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.
