Crete Cave Maisonette with hot tub in Myrtia village - walk to local tavernas | Cottage in Myrtia
3 Bedroom Cottage in Myrtia
Live Like a Local in Myrtia – A Heritage Maisonette in Crete’s Wine & Olive Country
Discover the art of slow living in this beautifully restored two-level stone maisonette in the heart of Myrtia, the place of world-renowned writer Nikos Kazantzakis' museum. Once the family’s old cellar, this heritage home has been lovingly transformed into a peaceful retreat full of history, light, and literary soul, ideal for couples seeking quiet romance, seniors wanting comfort and authenticity, or writers looking for inspiration.
THE SPACE
Upstairs
Wake up in the elegant master bedroom with its romantic four-poster bed, open the windows, and let the morning light spill in over the rooftops. Step out onto your private balcony with hot tub, where you can enjoy a glass of Cretan wine as the village lights twinkle below. A cozy reading nook with a sofa bed offers inspiring views of the hills — the same hills Kazantzakis once wandered — perfect for journaling, reading, or simply daydreaming.
A second twin bedroom and a modern bathroom complete this tranquil upper floor.
Downstairs
The lower level invites you to slow down. A fully equipped kitchen with European appliances makes home cooking a pleasure. Share simple meals in the charming vintage dining area, surrounded by stone walls that whisper stories of the past.
Relax afterward in the cozy living room, where comfort meets tradition.
This floor also includes a third twin bedroom and bathroom with shower, offering space and privacy for everyone.
At street level, the tiny front courtyard is a world of its own : a spot where you can sip your morning coffee or evening raki, watching village life unfold just as the Greek people in teh villages still do.
THE SETTING
Myrtia is a charming, walkable village where the rhythm of life follows the sun and the seasons. Enjoy home-cooked Cretan meals at local tavernas, greet neighbors on your morning walk, or visit the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum, just a short stroll away.
This is not a resort, it’s the real Crete, where history, hospitality, and simplicity still matter.
From here, you can easily explore nearby wineries, olive groves, and mountain villages, then return each evening to your peaceful home in the heart of Myrtia.
