Villa Faros

Property Description 

Faros is our familyhome in the south of Crete.The style is minimal, the stone is local, the decoration is simple. We find it a great luxury but do not expect opulence. Its the location that counts and the house is designed with this particular location in mind.Yes there is internet, a TV and Netflix but who needs that when you have the terrace, the pool, the garden with its old olive trees, the sea and the blue sky.We are starting to rent our villa in 2018 to people who are, like we, looking for the wideness and stillness of the Cretan nature. You need a car and you can make fabulous daytrips in an unspoilt part of  beautiful Crete.Faros is ideal for walking and swimming and lazily enjoying the terrace, pool and garden. Swallows come to drink from the pool and there are plenty more birds. If you are very lucky you see dolphins passing or the moustached head of our local Monkseal.

Neighborhood

The location advantage! The villa is located on a seafront cliff, about 40 meters above a private pebble beach with private access by a staircase with 166 steps.Do not expect a dancing close by, for that you have to go to Agia Galini.There are restaurants galore on the beach but not at walking distance. Shopping is in Agia Galini , half an hour scenic drive via Saktouria  or very scenic but more demanding over the partly gravel coastal road.We love driving there, do our shopping, take a coffee at the harbour have lunch there on on our way back.
