This traditional style village house is located in a quiet neighbourhood in Aptera, Megala Horafia, and has been recently refurbished to include a front and back tiled courtyard and shady pergolas. The property comprises of a large living/dining room and separate kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom.The house was originally built with thick stone walls, making it cool in summer and warm in winter.
The rear courtyard has a shady, pergola-coverd veranda and is ideal for family BBQ's and al-fresco dining.For those looking to live a simple, Cretan life style in a very historic village where the locals are friendly and hospitable, this would make the ideal permanent home, but being close to the national highway leading to various beaches, it would also make a perfect little holiday home. Megala Horafia is a lively, year-round village and offers a few tavernas and mini market.
Cultural Cretan evenings are held on a regular basis in one of the tavernas, with Cretan dancing and music, as well as art exhibitions and various fund raising events for charity, etc.The national highway leading to Chania city with its national airport and sea port is only about 3km from Megala Horafia, with a 10 minute drive into the city.
