This cozy flat is located in the center of Sitia,  only 10 minutes’ walk from the seafront and the shops. The 3rd floor apartment is 48 m2 and is for sale furnished. It consists of an open plan living/kitchen/dining room with access to a nice front balcony, a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and private balcony. On the ground floor of the building there is a 19 m2 studio with its own kitchen, a sofa bed and a wc. The building has central heating and a covered parking space. 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 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 has ferry connections to Piraeus and other islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.

This stunning residence in Ammoudara offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and Mediterranean charm, having undergone a complete renovation just last year. Spanning 75 m2 of living space on a generous 500 m2 plot, this home is positioned moments away from the beach and only a short drive from the vibrant town of Agios Nikolaos and its amenities. For those looking to expand, the property comes with planning permission (allowance) to build an additional 120 m2 of living space, providing incredible potential for future growth. The interior is thoughtfully distributed across two levels. The ground floor features an open-plan layout that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating an inviting heart for the home. This level also hosts a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and direct access to the outdoor terrace/garden. An internal staircase leads to the first floor, which is dedicated to a second double bedroom, also completed with its own ensuite bathroom. The outdoor living spaces are truly the highlight of this property. A beautiful terrace offers beautiful views of the sea, complemented by a small pool and lounge, outdoor dining area and an external kitchen. The international airport of Heraklion is only 50 minutes by car from the property.
