Set on a 110 sq.m. plot, the residence features a layout comprised of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room, along with storage space, front yard and a veranda with views. While the property is currently habitable, it awaits a thoughtful renovation to restore it to its full potential.

Sitia is an attractive seaside town. White-washed houses cling to a hillside laced by steep staircases and topped with a ruined Venetian castle. Below, a promenade lined with tavernas and cafes hems in the fishing harbour. It's a slow-paced, friendly place where agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy. A long, sandy beach skirts a wide bay to the east of town. Sitia has a small airport (5 km from the property) with daily flights to and from Athens and a few charter flights from Europe during the summer. The international airport of Heraklion is 2 hours by car. The port of Sitia has ferry connections to Piraeus and other islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.
