Gouves, Iraklion, Crete, Greece

The property is located in a picturesque neighborhood, just 5 minutes' drive from the village of Epano Gouves and about 25 minutes' drive east from the city center of Heraklion. It has two parts that are separated by a traditional cobbled path. The larger of the two is a restored village house of 120 m² on a plot of 106 m². It is stone-built, has two levels and includes a courtyard, which is fenced and has good privacy. Just opposite is the building of an old cafe, which has also been renovated with an open-plan area of 32 m² and a small courtyard on its frontage.

The village has an old-style cafe and hospitable inhabitants. There are itinerant bakers, greengrocers and fishermen that can cover some of your basic daily needs while for the rest you can go to Pano Gouves, where there are well-equipped mini markets that operate all year round, a doctor's office and beautiful taverns. Within 10 minutes' drive, you can go to Kato Gouves, where you will find everything else you need as well as beautiful beaches with areas with facilities or quieter places.

The house is inhabited by artists and has a strong character with traditional and pop elements. It has solar panel, air conditioners, ceiling fans as well as wooden, traditional-style doors and windows. The furniture is tasteful and is not included in the sale price but is negotiable. The purchase of the property is an excellent choice for use as a permanent residence and at the same time, you can use for tourist purposes one of the two areas.
