2 Bed Village House for sale
Embrosneros, Chania, Crete, Greece
Full Description
An old, renovated stone house available for sale in the traditional village of Embrosneros Apokoronas. The house was once an old stone olive press which has been renovated and all the stone finishes and wood beams carefully restored.
The home is spread over two levels with the main living area on the top level and a double bedroom downstairs where all the old machinery is still in place.
The property is surrounded by a stone wall, enclosing the garden and providing privacy.
In the authentic main village square you’ll find a mini market, a local bakery, an old fashioned Greek kafeneio, and a family run taverna serving the best local delicacies.
The Tower of Alidakis, built around the 16th century and the impressive stone Amphitheatre dated to modern times, are the nearest and within walking distance main attractions of the area.
A beautiful area and exciting history like everywhere on the island. It is uncertain where the name comes from. It means the water in front, embros nero. Some believe it comes from the fact that the first thing you encounter are springs, others that it is the first place it rains in the area, when there is a storm, but the last source says that the name is from Venetian times and has changed over the years. The village was supposedly called Pronineros, the village of the chosen ones!
A good mix of all eras, old ruins, Venetian, and the 60s side by side, and some new houses in between. Here people have lived on olives, grapes and animals in all eras.
Approximately a 40-minute drive to the towns of Chania and Rethymnon, as well the southern village of Sfakia from where you can take day trips along the coast of the Libyan Sea and explore its hidden gems such as the villages of Loutro and Agia Roumeli by the exit of the Samaria Gorge. The nearest seaside village is Georgioupoli with its 18 km sandy beach, is only a 20 min drive from the village.
