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.
