Plot 3500 sq.m. with a house of 135 sq.m., with the possibility of building an additional 70 sq.m., in the coastal village of Myrtos.

It has its own beach and overlooks the sea. The building is only 2 minutes on foot from the center of the settlement.

Excellent suggestion

Myrtos is located 13 km west of Ierapetra at the exit of a fertile valley with greenhouses, olive groves and citrus crops through which the river Kryos (Kryopotamos) flows. The main stream of this river starts from the peak of Afentis Christos in the Lasithio mountains, continues in the valley of Selakanos, passes through the Malles and the Sarakina gorge in Mythos, and after it joins the Vathy Ryaki which comes from the mountains of the East, it passes through the Kamara of Kriopotamos and ends at the sea.

Myrtos is a seaside village that has seen a mild form of development in recent years, but fortunately, it has not changed its traditional style. The absolute tranquility and the lacy beaches of Myrtos, with the fine ash pebbles that do not stick to the feet, have gained fanatical fans. Here there are mainly small hotels, bars, cafes, taverns, supermarkets, gas stations, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, etc. There are no banks, but anyway Ierapetra is not far away and can be reached by bus.

The beach in front of the settlement stretches over a large area and is one of the most beautiful in southern Crete and is preferred mainly for family holidays. The area is not affected by strong north winds as, as the locals say, Myrtos is “the place where it never blows”. It is organized with a sailing school, lifeguard, umbrellas, showers, changing rooms, cafes and restaurants, while there are infrastructures for water sports and beach volleyball. If you continue west, the width of the beach becomes wider and calmer.
In the village of Myrtos you can stroll along the port or the traditional alleys, see the green courtyards and the houses reminiscent of the Aegean landscape. It is also worth exploring the nature that surrounds the village and take a walk to Nea Myrto with its many greenhouses. You can still visit the two Minoan settlements, of Fournos the Top and the Tower which were discovered after excavations as well as the very remarkable Archaeological-Folklore Museum of Myrtos, next to the old church of Agios Antonios. Also, in the village you will see the memorial to the fallen with the names of the 18 victims executed by the Nazis in 1943, in retaliation for the death of two Germans in the nearby village of Kato Symi.
