Topolia, Chania, Crete, Greece

The house is in a picturesque village of Kissamos, about 10 km south in the inland and towards the famous Elafonisi. It is an old stone house, which was completely renovated in 1985 while in 2004 several improvements were made such as insulation, modernization of the electrical installation, partial roof replacement and more. An important feature of the property is the abundant natural wood that has been used in the kitchen, doors, ceilings and elsewhere, which warms the spaces beautifully.

The village attracts many visitors, especially in the summer months but the house is in an extremely quiet spot a few meters from the noise and its famous taverns. The plot has an eastern slope and is divided into three levels. A road reaches the lower level, where there are parking and space for a vegetable garden. A little higher we find an area with fruit trees and a storage space while on the last level is the house, on the frontage of which there is a small courtyard. At the highest point there is also a picturesque cobbled alley, which passes through the center of the old houses of the village. The size of the plot is sufficient if you want to add a swimming pool, a beautiful flower garden or additional parking spaces. There is also a remaining buildable area that allows you to add rooms or even a second completely independent house.

The village remains lively all year round and has restaurants with local cuisine, cafes, souvenir shops as well as 2-3 mini markets. It receives thousands of visitors during the summer months and the property is, among other things, suitable if you want to use it for touristic purposes. In the nearby small town of Kissamos you will find all kinds of shops and services as well as a long sandy beach, in about 15 minutes' drive. The city center of Chania is about 45 minutes away.
