Easy to renovate while the building is in excellent condition and could be used either for permanent staying or as holiday house. Next to the house there is an older building, almost to the ground where a guest house could be built, or landscaped to a garden area with open oven and BRQ. In the entrance of the house there is also an open land area from which ¼ belongs to the property.
This is a perfect chance for an old traditional stone house in one of the most beautiful areas of south Crete.

Sivas

The village of SIVAS lies 62 km away from Iraklion, on the western slope of Asterousia Mountains. at an altitude of 110 m above sea level.
Its 1000 years history comes to life for the visitor, who has the chance to admire its monuments, and old houses, perfectly preserved through the centuries.
That is why Sivas has been characterized by the Ministry of Culture as a traditional and protected village.
There are many suggestions about the origin of the name SIVA but it seems more probable that the water springs ( in Arab SIVA) gave name to the village. Near the village the archaeologists unearthed circular tombs of the pre-palace period (2600-2000 B.C.). Also in 1958 a full collection of early Hellenistic coins was unearthed. Most of these, however, were stolen by looters and only 36 coins were found and are currently on display at the Archaeological Museum of Iraklion.
Sivas can be the base of excursions to the south of Crete. It is located close to the archaeological sites of Gortys and Phaistos, and the beaches at Matala, Komos and Kalamaki. You can also hike down Agiofarago Gorge, stopping at the old church of Agios Antonios, and ending to the beach. You can also visit the palm tree forest in Martselos.
