An authentic Cretan stone house with breathtaking views of the Libyan Sea, a big private garden and total privacy — in the peaceful traditional village of Sellia, near Plakias.
Perfect for couples and families seeking quiet, nature and a true local experience — enjoy sunsets from your private terrace, morning coffee under the big mulberry tree, and the charm of a genuine Cretan village.
The house combines rustic charm with comfort: two bedrooms, a cozy living room with fireplace, work desk, TV and Bluetooth stereo, a fully-equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom. Outside, a private courtyard looks straight onto the sea, and the garden is filled with herbs you're welcome to pick for mountain tea or a fresh salad.

This southern coast is one of the best-kept secrets of Crete: less touristic, much more authentic, with an amazing coastline of coves, bays and sandy beaches along the deep-blue Libyan Sea.
