This 1 bedroom villa sits on the hills above the lovely village of Fodele in northern Crete €180,000

The Location

Fodele is arguably one of the greenest and most lush areas in Crete. The area is dedicated to growing citrus fruits and the evening air pungent with the scent of orange and lemon blossom. Steeped in history with its Byzantine churches and meandering river, cobbled streets and rustic wooden bridges, the village is only three kilometres from a sweeping sandy beach fringed by traditional tavernas. Fodele is the birthplace of the artist El Greco and has a museum dedicated to his life works. The local people specialise in the craft of macramé and sit in the street deftly knotting bags, waistcoats and rugs throughout the year.
Perfect location for beach holidays and great for walking, cycling or sightseeing. Inspirational for photographers!
