PROPERTY REF: H148/MYR/LAM

Charming renovated village house near Heraklion, Crete

A quaint, old Cretan house built in 1918 with thick stone walls and arch doors. It has been lovingly restored by its present owners to create a very cosy and comfotable cottage.

It is situated in a small, traditional Greek village close to the city of Heraklion, called Myrtia or Varnarie. It is the birth place of the famous author of "Zorba the Greek'" Nikos Kazantzakis. There is a museum dedicated to this great writer.

It makes an excellent permanent or holiday home for those who prefer to live in a genuine Cretan area, but not far from beaches, and tourist amenities.

Price: 140,000 euro negotiable
No commission to buyers
