4 Bed Villa for sale
Apokoronas, Chania, Crete, Greece
Full Description
Set in peace and tranquillity amidst wild and unspoilt Cretan landscape, this is a luxury villa with spectacular, commanding panoramic views of West Crete.
Crete is the largest island in Greece, and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, the remnants of brilliant civilizations meet the island’s rich gastronomic culture with a background of glorious beaches, impressive mountains capes, fertile valleys and steep gorges. Set in the Apokoronas, an area with an expat community which has created an economy which provides all the necessary services and products, it combines peace and solitude with ready access to shops, beaches and local amenities. There is a thriving arts group which offers talks, music, drama and film productions. Although away from it all, and very much off the beaten track, the house is but a few minutes’ walk from a renowned taverna, and only 7 km from the nearest shops, and 25 mins from beaches and the coast. In around 45 min you can be sitting around the iconic harbour in Chania, exploring the Venetian Fortezza in Rethymnon, or flying away from Chania airport. There is a vibrant local cultural scene in Chania, with bars and restaurants open all year round, a thriving jazz scene and local festivals of Cretan traditional music and dance. A wide range of shops and supermarkets offer all modern amenities, whilst local farmers markets sell a wide range of tempting fresh local produce.
