Description

Property for sale in Crete. A charming two-storey home of 115m² benefiting from beautiful views, great location, easy maintenance and suitable for both, holidays and year-round living. It is located on the outskirts of the village in tranquil and peaceful setting, within walking distance to the picturesque centre and close to a supermarket...

The property was originally 65m² and the owners extended the living space in order to create an airy, bright and cosy house with ample space for three (3) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms.

The covered entrance door opens into the good sized living area, fitted with a wood burner, and allowing access to the back yard where one can enjoy relaxing moments. Next to the lounge, separated by an arch, is the inviting kitchen and dining area with its high wooden ceiling. Here two steps lead into a small hall leading to two (2) bedrooms and one (1) shower room. The bigger bedroom is coming with fitted wardrobe, air-condition and exit to the garden area, whilst the small bedroom has a small storage space and air-con.

Back in the lounge stairs are taking us up to the master bedroom with the full bathroom en-suite. From the private balcony the owners can enjoy a beautiful view of the Cretan Sea.

Additionally youll have a small outhouse in the garden area which can be either used as storage or workshop, and finally the covered roof terrace from where you not only can enjoy glorious views of the village and the sea, but have great gathering with friends and preparing the meal in the lockable outside kitchen and the BBQ.

The house is fitted with double glazed windows fitted with shutters and insect screens, and for those wishing to spend the winter months on Crete, it is featuring not only the wood burner but has already central heating pre-installed, and in the garden area a hot tub is at the owners disposal as well.

The grounds are fenced, full of colourful plants, trees and flowers, yet easy to maintain due its irrigation system, and with plenty of space for parking and chilling out in the back yard. The closest sandy beach is a short drive away (9km) in Almyrida, the longest sandy beach in Georgioupolis is just 11km away and for a refreshing swim one can admire the turquoise waters of the bay of Ombrosgialos, just 5km away.

Location

The community of Kefalas is situated approx. 4 km to the east of Vamos. It is a large village built in an outstanding position facing the sea with architecture dominated by the influence of the early and late years of the Turkish occupation. This influence is well preserved despite the existence of other architectural styles. The village is living the whole year around and kafenia, taverns and supermarkets can be found there. A small drive away, one will reach Ombrosgialos, a small nice bay of turquoise water and in the other direction are the long sandy beaches of Georgioupolis.

Almirida (sometimes spelled as Almyrida) is a small village in the Apokoronas province, with 3 shallow beaches (two small ones, one a little bit bigger, but nice, and there are more beaches within walking distance) located in the bay of Souda, about 25km west of Chania. The village looks out over the sea and the Akrotiri peninsula. Its still sort of quiet, with some waterside taverns, a few bars and a couple of hotels. In Almirida you can also find the remains of an early Christian basilica from the 5th century, with mosaics and some fallen down pillars.

Vamos is located away from the hustle of the towns and tourists. It is an unspoilt Cretan village with view of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), and has maintained its traditional architectural style. One will find some interesting churches, clearly showing the traditional architecture of the buildings in the area. The hospitality and the way of life the Cretan people used to lead before the burst of tourism is captured in these villages as a present way of life. The area is very scenic, having maintained its traditional character, mainly due to the attentive restoration of old buildings.
