A truly remote and private hideaway in southern Crete for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life

€400 pcm - Minimum rental period 6 months

This quaint cabin is available for holiday rental on a weekly, monthly or 9 month+ basis and is in a remote and very private location of south east Crete. It offers the right ambiance for those people looking for total seclusion.

Divided into three separate sections, the left being the main bedroom containing a double bed, the centre section containing the kitchen and living area and to the right is the shower and WC.

Please note that this cabin is due for a refit and tidied, some of the furniture shown in the photographs will be changed, and others added, table chairs, etc.

The veranda and barbeque area will undoubtedly be the area where you will spend most of the time and so enjoy the outdoors life. Due to the nearby olive trees one can only see glimpses of the sea from the veranda but a better view can be had from above the house.

It is connected to both electricity and water if also has a gas cooker, microwave oven, fridge etc. Those persons considering taking this property beyond a weekly basic then the electricity and gas are not included in the rental price. Please note that this property would be fine for a couple as a long term rental, but due to the nature of the cabin then it would suite a family of 4 persons only to live in it for a short term rental. Additional beds would be provided on request.

The nearest beach is approx. 400 meters down a gently sloping plateau and then down a further 100 meter escarpment with steps leading down to the private sandy beach. Other beaches are also available nearby via tracks.

It would be a joy to stay here if you like walking or mountain biking as there are plenty of tracks and trails to explore. It would also suite someone who likes to paint or perhaps an author writing a book, photographer, or even someone who is generally looking to completely escape the general pressures of daily life.

The nearest village, Arvi with it's new harbour, is approx. 3km away along rough agricultural tracks. A vehicle of some description (4x4 preferred) would be required if you decided to stay at this property (especially over the winter period). This area of Crete generally benefits from very mild and dry winters, mainly due to the protection of the mountains to the north and is in an extensively agricultural area and is not touristy.

There are a lot of typical Cretan mountain villages such as Amiras, Valios, Kato Simi, Sikologos, Ghohia, etc to explore as well as a number of fishing villages such as Arvi, Miros (recommend), Tersa, Keratokambos, etc. Due to the climate this area of Crete has a number of large ‘greenhouses’ providing shade for the growing of bananas, tomatoes. Surrounding the cabin and plateau are a large number or olive trees (very common in Crete).
