OUR HOUSE ... NOW SOLD
... to PAY FOR IMAGIANATION

A HOUSE FOR YOU
You can have one like this - more being built as you read this. This was our third investment property; the first two have also been sold. Click to see the photos. Only 2km from the sea, and you can also see the highest mountain in Crete behind the house - the cave where Zeus is reputed to have grown up [to avoid being eaten by his fearful father Cronos, who he was predicted to replace as King of the Gods... which he did...] His lightning bolts are still great to witness in a good storm on Crete... though the average rainfall in July and August is .... ZERO.
