Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Built from stone and timber, this home is full of character and charm. It’s based in the picturesque village of Zoniana, close to the gorgeous nature park of Katafigio Agrias Zois Trigiodo – but it’s not too far in the car from some beautiful beaches along the northern coast of Crete if you fancy a day trip. Inside the home is quaint yet elegant, with exposed stone walls and crystal chandeliers, together with modern and stylish furniture that brings it into the present day. Outside, you’ll find a glorious swimming pool where you can swim, splash and soak up the views of the rolling hills that surround you, as well as loungers where you can lay back and relax.

The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling.
