Description

A three-bedroom villa in the heart of Gavalohori, one of Apokoronas' most established year-round villages. The layout splits cleanly between a two-bedroom main house on the ground floor and a self-contained studio apartment above ideal for owners wanting rental income without sacrificing privacy, or extended families who need their own space under the same roof. Views stretch across the countryside to Souda Bay and the White Mountains, with the beaches of Almyrida and Kalyves just ten minutes away and Chania reachable in 35 minutes.

The main house opens through an entrance hall with built-in storage into a bright living room crowned by wooden vaulted ceilings and warmed by a wood-burning stove the kind of detail that sells the property in photos and makes it genuinely liveable in January. A sun-filled conservatory serves as the dining area, and the fully fitted kitchen comes complete with all appliances. A few steps up take you to two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, ceiling fans and air conditioning, alongside a family bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

The upper floor is accessed via external stairs and functions as a completely independent studio apartment: open-plan living area, kitchen, a spacious double bedroom and shower room. Rent it, host guests, or give the in-laws their own front door.
Outside, a 24 m² private pool is set within sun terraces and served by an outdoor shower, with a covered dining area for long lunches in the shade. The gardens are well-landscaped and secluded, the driveway is gated with ample parking, and there are multiple storage areas plus a separate utility room with washing machine.

This property fits three distinct buyer profiles. Full-time relocators get a village with genuine character and all-season infrastructure rather than a coastal resort that shuts down in winter. Investors gain a dual-income property the main house plus an independent studio that can be rented separately on short-term platforms, maximising yield across the May–October high season. Extended families get two fully distinct living spaces on one plot, with shared outdoor areas but complete privacy indoors.

About CostAnita Villas, Kalyves

Kalyves Centre Kalyves Chania, Crete 73003 Greece

Costanita Villas is a family business run and owned by local businessman Kosta Krasaki and his Australian wife Anita.

As Kosta is a local guy, growing up in Chania, Gavalochori and Almyrida he has extensive knowledge of the local area and a good idea of property opportunities that are available.

Kosta started out working in hospitality for his family business. At the age of 10 years old he began working as a labourer for a local builder to pass the winter months until the Taverna reopened. He realised early on that general maintenance was an ongoing part of hospitality and decided to take on the responsibility himself. He learned the skills of general maintenance and was doing all kinds of repairs with either wood, metal or plumbing. He has been in and out of the building industry ever since.

Kosta’s first major project was building the family home in Almyrida. The following project was 2 luxury villas in Gavalochori and then on to another traditional villa in Gavalochori which was completely renovated and sub divided into 2 separate dwellings.

Kosta’s experience in the building trade grew after meeting Anita. Every winter they travel back to Australia were Kosta works as a carpenter/builder increasing his level of skill. Whether it be building Villas in Crete or luxury homes in Australia, Kosta is always ready to take on a new project.

Anita grew up outside of Sydney, Australia and has been in the hospitality trade for many years. Starting out as a Pizza Chef way back when she was 14yrs old she has now worked in 3 different countries running busy Wine Bars, Cafs, Pubs Hotels and Tavernas.

Anita and her mother Janelle had 2 very successful country Hotels in Kent, U.K for a period of 10yrs. Both had B+B facilities, one hotel with 8 letting rooms and the other with 18 letting rooms. It was Anita’s involvement in the maintenance, renovating and decorating aspect of this side of the business that started Anita thinking about the property industry.

And so Costanita Villas was created.
