  • A new, exclusive, modern, elegant, and high-quality residential project with clean lines will be built in 2025/26, just 150 meters from Kalyves Beach. It consists of six luxury villas with sea views and spacious terraces, specially designed for a particularly private atmosphere. The project is being built on a historic plot of 1046 m² in the center of the village.

    The architecture is inspired by the Venetian shipyards of Chania – iconic structures that have stood as a testament to Crete's maritime tradition for centuries. The first neoria were built in the 16th century, when Chania was considered the Venetian Empire's largest naval base in the Eastern Mediterranean. These historical and architectural monuments served as our inspiration. Their distinctive arched entrances to the sea not only symbolize architectural brilliance but also reflect the island's deep connection to the Mediterranean.

    Inspired by these iconic landmarks, the residences feature a harmonious blend of natural stone, soft Mediterranean hues, and striking arches. They capture the essence of Crete's past while offering the comforts of modern living. Thoughtfully designed, each home seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for breathtaking sea views while maintaining privacy.

    A central aspect of the design is the privacy of each individual house, achieved through the skillful reduction of architectural volumes. This creates private, semi-open spaces and generous, projecting balconies. This design approach, combined with large openings, promotes a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces. The massive elements and prismatic recesses of the facades interact beautifully with the translucent railings of the balconies, creating a sophisticated balance of shadow and openness.

    These explicitly private villas are almost the same size with areas of 135 to 140 m². Each residence can capture the sunlight within its walls. They are designed with great attention to detail in a modern style for easy-care living. They extend over three floors including the mezzanine.

    There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which is the master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The remaining two guest bedrooms share the second bathroom.

    From the hall on the ground floor there is access to the private terrace and a 57 m² communal pool for villas 1-4. Villa 5 has a private pool of 15 m² and Villa 6 has a private pool of 19 m².

    When you arrive on the first floor you will find a beautiful living room that leads to 2 private terraces. There is also an open kitchen and a toilet. Also on this level is the floating staircase that leads to the mezzanine floor with its breathtaking views and fantastic roof terrace. Villas 1 and 5 have a window with seating in the living room.

    All villas have an 8m² storage/facility room under the communal pool as well as the convenience of a private parking space next to the entrance to the property with a pergola for shade.

    The kitchens are fully furnished and designed in high-quality Italian design from the STOSA brand to maximize functionality and comfort.

    The bathrooms are designed with the same line of functional and simple elegance as the rest of the villa.

    Expected completion is at the end of 2026.

    The gallery level offers two design options: By default, this open space is designed as an additional living room and is ideal for a sofa bed, a TV room, a library, or a home office. Alternatively, for an additional €10.000, the gallery level can be transformed into a full-fledged fourth bedroom by installing a door and a curved glass wall with sliding doors.

    The quiet, relatively untouched village of Kalyves lies 20 km east of Chania and 40 km west of Rethymno on the north coast of Crete. The area manages to combine the landscape of forests, hills and mountains as well as trees with the stunning Greek sea and the original rustic Cretan architecture. The main sandy beach is about five hundred meters long and has large trees that provide natural shade. There are a number of taverns and cafes along the beach that will serve your appetite with traditional Cretan cuisine.
    The village is built in the form of an amphitheater along the beach between two hills and the river that divides the village in two with graphic bridges, giving the area a completely different look. Thanks to the rivers that flow through it, Kalives is located in a fertile valley and is full of greenery and surrounded by olive groves. Due to this fertile soil and strategic geographical location at the entrance to Souda Bay, Kalives has been inhabited since at least ancient times and this is something magical that you will see for yourself.

    Almyrida is just 4 km east of Kalyves and until recently was just a fishing village. However, due to its wonderful Mediterranean climate, sandy beaches and beautiful nature, the village has recently become a popular tourist destination. Almyrida has two beautiful sandy beaches with shallow water that are safe for children on wave-free days. The two beaches are separated by a small rocky pier peninsula with a small white chapel. The beachfront tavernas are famous for fresh fish and delicious traditional Cretan cuisine. There are regular bus services and taxis (to both Plaka and Almyrida) to/from Chania.

    The pristine countryside and lush olive groves surrounding Almyrida are ideal for hiking and exploring. Just 1 km to the east lies the picturesque village of Plaka, the largest village in the region. Plaka is famous for its healthy climate, unforgettable sunsets and the hospitality of the locals. Plaka has a beautiful main square which forms the center of the village. Here locals and visitors meet in the cafeterias and taverns.
