Traditional 2-Bed Cretan Home with Private Pool For Sale

Imagine starting your morning with a quiet swim in your own pool, holding a warm cup of coffee while watching the sun hit the White Mountains, and breathing in that crisp coastal air. Tucked away in the friendly village of Maleme, this home puts local tavernas, market stalls, and the beach all within an easy walking distance. Inside, the home feels welcoming right away.

Exposed wooden beams overhead, arched glass doors, and a classic stable-style front door bring out true Cretan character. It’s set up to be comfortable all year long, too. You have a wood-burning stove to gather around during chilly winter nights, along with air conditioning to keep the space cool throughout the summer months.

The main living area flows smoothly onto the stone courtyard, giving you an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Just off the living space, you’ll find a clean L-shaped kitchen stocked with everything needed to whip up quick meals or fresh local produce. Right behind it is a modern, fully tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The downstairs bedroom is a cozy retreat with its own patio doors, so you can step straight out to the pool whenever you like. Heading up the iron and wooden stairs brings you to the mezzanine level, which serves as a second bedroom with warm timber floors. Glass doors lead out onto an east-facing balcony—hands down the best spot on the property to relax, soak in the mountain backdrop, or watch the night sky. The outdoor setup is really the heart of the home.

It’s completely private and fully fenced, centered around a stone courtyard and a swimming pool that’s been kept in great shape with updated pumps, fresh grouting, and steps. A shaded pergola covers a built-in BBQ and outdoor sink, making summer lunches and evening drinks with friends completely effortless.
