Chania, Chania, Crete, Greece

The property is located just 20 minutes south from the center of Chania city. At the same time, it is situated in a quiet small village in the inland of the island, in a picturesque location in nature. It is a two-story residence of 131 m² with an additional unfinished ground-floor guesthouse of 96 m². The residence is built on a rock. It was operated as a school at the beginning of the century for the entire province while later it housed the police station of the area.

The two buildings are completely independent with frontages on different roads. However, they are connected with an inner courtyard and garden. In the space between them you can very easily add a swimming pool. The two buildings in combination with high walls offer excellent privacy. The unfinished building was formerly used as a small industry. Now it has been fully restored and has slabs on the roof with new walls and internal wooden lining on the ceiling. It is currently used as a storage space and has a bathroom with a shower while it can be completed with an open-plan area and up to two large bedrooms, without modifications to the current layout.

The village has a traditional cafe that also operates as a mini market. It has hospitable residents and offers many options for cycling or hiking in olive groves and in the wild Cretan landscape. The wider area of Keramia is famous for its traditional food, the lush vegetation and the countless villages that are worth exploring. The house is an excellent choice if you are looking for a property with a strong traditional character, close to the city but in a quiet location.
