About this property

1891 Home Epitomizes Relaxation With Magical Sea Views In The Village Heart

125 years after its construction and initial use as an olive mill, "1891" Home was fully renovated. Magnificent views at the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean sky makes it the holiday house everyone dreams of.
“1891"- Home, is a two storey villa, situated in Apokoronas- one of the seven Municipalities of the Prefecture of Chania and one of the most picturesque. Apokoronas covers a diverse area that reaches from the foothills of
the White mountains to the sandy beaches and rocky shores on the
northwest side of Crete.
Within its boundaries you will discover the beauty of olive, citrus
groves and vineyards, local flora and fauna along with stunning views
of the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its locale and the area's vibrant
settlements, Apokoronas still offers pockets of traditional Cretan
hospitality and customs as well as architecture.
The area is known for its hiking/ foot trails, gorges and some of the
most popular sandy beaches famous for sailing, water sports or just
relaxing by the waterfront.
Daily life in Kefalas impresses the visitor with its tranquil pace- The location of “1891" home epitomizes restful relaxation with a magical view but a few minutes of walking through the village alleyways leads you to the types of services necessary for one's vacation such as super markets, tavernas and traditional cafes.

Why they chose this property

This neighbourhood holds a very special place in my heart. It is where my grandparents and my father were born, and I have been visiting it for as long as I can remember. Over the years, it has become much more than just a location—it feels like a part of who I am.

The area carries a strong sense of history, tradition, and authenticity that is hard to find elsewhere. Its peaceful atmosphere, natural beauty, and genuine local character create a truly special environment, one that I feel proud to share with others.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly unique is its rich history. Constructed back in 1891 using local materials, the building is over 130 years old and has been part of my family for generations. It originally operated as a traditional olive mill, playing an important role in local life and olive oil production.

Today, it has been carefully restored to preserve its authentic character while offering modern comforts. Many of its original features have been thoughtfully maintained, allowing guests to experience a genuine connection to the past in a warm and welcoming setting.
