In the heart of Mesaria, with its traditional kalderimia & colorful churches, this newly-renovated flat combines charm, tranquility, confort & practicality.
Situated in the heart of the old town of Messaria, with its traditional kalderimia (pedestrian only paths) and colorful churches, this recently renovated flat combines tranquility, modernity & functionality. Modernity because this 58sqm apartment, (which was part of a century old house dug into the rock in classic Cycladic architectural style) has been completely renovated with all the fittings of modern comfort whilst preserving the charm and features of centuries of tradition and popular know how. A know how which means that this flat is cool in summer and warm in the winter despite the soaring temperatures of the Aegean sun, completely protected from the annual meltemia (seasonal winds) and equipped with a natural cooling and lighting system composed of several openings on both sides of the apartment, natural chimneys, 4m high ceilings and 70cm thick stone walls. Opposite is a 200yr old palm tree & 50m away the Orth. church of Saint Irene.
Tranquility because on a very popular, noisy and bustling island, this traditional part of Messaria is an oasis of peace and quiet disturbed only by the cries of children playing in the street and the church bells on Sunday morning. (ie. no over flights, traffic, noise pollution or continuous passage associated with other popular towns). Functionality because the flat is situated only 6-10 min by foot from the local bakery, open markets for fresh fish, supermarkets, restaurants, bus stops and rental agencies. Mesaria is the main communications hub linking the island's capital Fira (10min) with the airport (8min) & seaport (20min) and the north with the south of the island. Every part of the island is easily accessible by excellent public local transport for a very reasonable cost with 3 buses per hour 24/24. The island's only shallow family beach Monolithos (safe for children, seniors etc) and Kamari beach are only a 10min bus ride away (1.60e)
