The 2-storey house is 179 m2 in size, built on a plot of 140 m2.

These 3 rooms are built on different levels - the kitchen dining room is set 6 steps higher than the living room and the bedroom another 6 steps higher than the kitchen / dining room.
The 3 rooms are internally connected but each of them also has its own entrance from outside. Because of that, the en-suite bedroom can be used as an independent studio guest room.

The upper floor is seperated into two parts:
1) The rear part, that comprises a large veranda with BBQ oven and outside dining area and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room,
2) the front part, that comprises another two double bedrooms (one of them with en-suite shower room), both with access to the front balcony.
From the veranda on the upper floor a metal staicase leads further up to a pretty roof terrace that offers wonderful views of the village and the surrounding countryside and mountains.
There are A/C devices installed (for cooling and heating) and there is a wood stove in the kitchen / dining room and a fireplace in the living room.
The house also features a solar panel system for water heating.
The house is only 1.5 km away from some of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Mirabello Bay.
Kalo Horio is the name generally given to three smaller areas Istron, Pyrgos and Arnikou. This area is situated between beautiful sandy bays and magnificent mountains about 10km south of the cosmopolitan town of Aghios Nikolaos.
It offers many amenities and there is a strong local community plus a few foreign residents in the area. This allows the local shops a 12 month a year business rather than just summer season openings.
Thousands of visitors come to Kalo Horio to visit its three lovely beaches Aghios Panteleimon, Karavostasi and the golden beach of Voulisma.
There is a very good bus system connecting Kalo Horio to the rest of the island that operates on an hourly basis.
The international airport of Heraklion is about an hours drive from here.
