NOTOS WELL Studio-House

LOVELY studio-house in Chora Sfakion, on the south coast of Crete. Sfakia is the name of the municipality, and Chora Sfakion is the main village, a beautiful village, rich in history, with whitewashed houses, a hilly landscape with high mountains behind it, and lovely views of the surrounding coast and the endless sea.
The house is 84 m2 plus a balcony and a garden. The property has stunning sea views, views to the magnificent mountains, and views to part of this southern coastline. The house is within walking distance to the beach in the village, as well as to shops and restaurants. The ground floor includes a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a room with a wardrobe. Opposite the front door and across the small country lane is the garden. On the first floor there is a spacious living room with sofa bed for 3, and mezzanine with a double bed.

In total there are 5 beds.

The property derives its name from the white well in the garden. In the older times, this well supplied the entire village with water, and was a gathering place for the village residents.

Chora Sfakion is the perfect is the starting point for exploring the beautiful south coast of Crete. The owner of the house owns the local diving center, which also provides boat rentals, organized boat trips, taxi-boat etc. Guests at Notos Well will be offered special rates for these services.

The area has countless opportunities for hiking and exploring the beautiful and awe-inspiring ravines and mountains. Sfakia is famous for its approximately 50 ravines, the most famous being Samaria, Imbros, and Aradena.
