Paleloni is a small hamlet of stone houses in the hills above Kefalas, and this estate occupies 2,160 sqm of it: a restored Cretan home, a separate guest house, a long private pool and gardens that have had years to mature.Together, the two buildings offer approximately 202 sqm of living space, with open views across the countryside towards the mountains. It should be noted that there is a residual building factor and an active building permit for the further development of the plot.The main residence, approximately 160 sqm, began life as a traditional Cretan village house. It has been carefully restored and more recently updated, keeping the natural materials and traditional detailing that give these houses their character while adding the comforts expected of a modern home.The house has living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen with gas cooking, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. An internal staircase rises to a mezzanine, currently furnished as a sitting room, which would work equally well as a study, a reading corner or an extra sleeping area. A separate external bathroom with laundry, together with storage space, keeps the practical side of the estate out of the living areas. The property is offered furnished.Set apart from the main house, the guest house of approximately 42 sqm is fully self-contained, with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area. An attic level above adds space for extra beds or storage. Guests can come and go on their own schedule, and the arrangement suits long family visits as well as letting.The pool, approximately 50 sqm, is the focal point of the grounds, with wide terraces around it for loungers and outdoor dining. Beyond the terraces, the landscaped Mediterranean garden is arranged as a series of separate spaces rather than one open lawn: shaded corners under mature trees, stone-paved seating areas, a barbecue and a private mini tennis court.Because the planting is established, the garden already offers shade and privacy rather than the promise of it, and the stone architecture sits comfortably within the surrounding landscape.With two independent homes on one plot, the estate suits buyers who like to host. The family can settle into the main house while friends or grown-up children have the guest house to themselves, and everyone can meet at the pool. Between visits, the guest house can stay closed or be let, leaving the main house as a quiet retreat.Rental potentialApokoronas is one of western Crete's established holiday rental areas, with demand for village houses with private pools running from spring well into autumn.

The ground-floor apartment has one bedroom, a bathroom, a separate kitchen, and a living and dining room that opens onto a covered terrace over the garden, the natural place for a long lunch out of the sun.

An owner can let both floors independently or live on one and let the other, which widens the range of guests the house can take, from couples to two families travelling together. Crete has one of the longest visitor seasons in Greece, reaching well into spring and autumn on either side of the summer peak, and Rethymno is a year-round town rather than a resort that empties in October. With the town and the north-coast beaches a short drive away, sea views from the upper floor, and open countryside around it, the property sits in the kind of setting short-stay guests look for.Location - distancesPigi is a traditional inland village in the hills just east of Rethymno, set among olive groves and built around the usual Cretan mix of a village square, churches, kafeneia, a taverna or two, a bakery, and a mini-market, with the small locality of Agios Dimitrios adjoining it. It keeps a genuine year-round population rather than emptying out after summer. Rethymno town, with its Venetian harbour, old town, shops, and services, is about 9 km away, roughly a 15-minute drive.Pigi: 900 mPlatanes Beach: 5.5 kmRethymno: 9 kmSpilies Beach: 13 kmChania International Airport: 76 kmChania (Centre): 68 kmHeraklion: 77.5 kmHeraklion International Airport: 78.5 km

On the east coast of Zakynthos, at the shore below the farming village of Kipseli, this traditional two-storey home sits right by the water, with its own private steps leading down to the sea. It is one of the few properties on this stretch of coast with direct, private access to the water, in a quiet rural setting that is still close to everyday amenities.The house measures approximately 75 sqm over two floors. The two bedrooms are on the ground floor, both generously sized and fitted with large wardrobes, and there are two bathrooms, each with a shower. Upstairs is the main living space, an open room with high wooden-beamed ceilings that give it a genuine traditional character. Glass-panelled doors open onto a balcony that sits close to the water, a comfortable spot for a long lunch or an afternoon with a book, with open sea views across the Ionian. The living area connects to a full kitchen-diner with all appliances and a fitted dining area, set up for shared meals with family and friends. An open fireplace upstairs heats the house and adds character, and the property's borehole supplies water, heated by electricity.Outside, a patio gives an easy setting for al fresco dining, and a manageable garden at the centre of the courtyard holds trees and flowers. A covered veranda at the lower end of the grounds leads to the private steps down to the clear water below. Access to the sea is private to the property, reached by its own steps, while the shoreline itself, as everywhere in Greece, remains public. Gated access opens onto a driveway with ample parking, and the property includes a garage, as well as external storage areas at both the front and rear.The plot totals 1,000 sqm, including a section of land adjacent to the house grounds. That additional land carries the opportunity to build a further property, subject to obtaining the mandatory permits, which adds to the appeal for a buyer thinking beyond the existing house.This is an unusual property for Zakynthos: a traditional home right on the water, with private sea access, a large plot, and room to extend, in a quiet rural pocket of the east coast that still keeps amenities close. For buyers who value the setting above all, it is a rare position on the island.Rental potentialZakynthos draws visitors throughout a long Ionian season, and a seaside home with private water access and its own outdoor space has clear appeal for holiday lets in the months the owners are not using it. The quiet, rural setting close to Tsilivi suits guests who want the coast without the busier resort strips. Elxis can advise on letting and property management options once the purchase is complete.Location - distancesKipseli is a farming village on the green east side of Zakynthos, a quiet, agricultural community a little inland, with this property down on its coastal edge. The area keeps a genuine local character, with a handful of tavernas nearby and the larger resorts within easy reach, while Zakynthos Town and the island's airport are both a manageable drive to the south.The Sea: A few stepsTsilivi resort and amenities: 5 kmAlykanas resort: 7 kmZakynthos Town and port: 12 kmZakynthos International Airport: 15 km
