Located in the traditional hillside village of Myrthios, just above Plakias on the south coast of Crete, this charming stone-built house offers character, beautiful views in an authentic Cretan setting.  The house is 79 sqm and is arranged over two levels, set on a 57 sqm plot. Entry is directly into the kitchen, where built partitions form open-fronted cupboards and worktops, maintaining a rustic and traditional style. Adjacent to an original alcove with archway is a comfortable dining/living area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A minimalist metal staircase leads to the upper level which has an open-plan sleeping area, a second lounge area and the bathroom with shower and the washing machine. Sliding doors open onto a small balcony that overlooks the village, with wonderful views including sunsets across the coastline and towards the village of Sellia opposite.  A second external door on this level leads onto a pathway which passes at the rear of the property, offering convenient additional access. Myrthios is situated 36 km south of Rethymno, at an altitude of 210 metres above sea level. Many homes in this upper part of the village have been tastefully renovated, creating a pleasant and attractive neighbourhood. The village is especially popular during the summer season, with well-regarded tavernas serving traditional Cretan specialities and a selection of small shops offering locally sourced products. The seaside resort of Plakias — with its full range of amenities and long sandy beach — is just a 5-minute drive away. This is an ideal property for a holiday home, rental investment, or permanent residence in a picturesque Cretan village setting.
