Penthouse apartment with breathtaking sea views in Sitia, Crete

This spacious, two-storey penthouse occupies the top floors of a centrally located building in Sitia, an idyllic harbour town in eastern Crete. With a total of 160 m² of living space, it comprises four rooms, including three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Although in need of modernisation, the architecturally well-thought-out layout and the spectacular view of the deep-blue sea provide the ideal conditions for a high-quality coastal residence that combines modern living with a relaxed holiday atmosphere.

The lower level impresses with an open, two-storey design that seamlessly connects various living areas – a spacious living room, a separate dining area and the functional kitchen create a harmonious setting for family life and social gatherings. Directly adjoining balconies with pergolas offer sunny spots to relax and provide views of Crete’s crystal-clear waters. Practical extras such as a guest WC and a separate utility and laundry room enhance the comfort of this level.

An elegant marble spiral staircase leads to the private retreat on the upper floor, where three cosy bedrooms and two modern bathrooms are available. The highlight of this floor is the spacious, private roof terrace, which offers plenty of space for a Mediterranean garden or an atmospheric lounge – a retreat offering wonderful privacy and unrivalled views of the coast.

What makes this property particularly attractive is its flexible layout: the architecture allows for easy division into two separate residential units. This makes the penthouse not only ideal as a spacious family home, but also perfect for investors looking to let or for multi-generational households.

The penthouse combines the charm of traditionally organised Mediterranean living with a wealth of development opportunities in one of Crete’s most beautiful coastal towns – a gem for enthusiasts and investors who appreciate authentic life by the Cretan sea.

With its perfect combination of a central location, fascinating architecture and unique panoramic views, this home represents an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking an apartment with potential on the Mediterranean.

Sitia, idyllically situated on the Gulf of Mirabello, is characterised by its combination of a picturesque harbour atmosphere, historical sights and natural beauty. The town centre captivates visitors with its white houses, charming tavernas right by the harbour and the ruins of a Venetian castle perched on a hill, bringing history to life.

Just a few kilometres away lie stunning beaches such as Makry Gialos, Vai with its famous palm-lined beach, and the idyllic Koufonisi Bay. These offer a wide range of opportunities for swimming, relaxing and water sports.

Sitia also boasts an impressive infrastructure: shops for daily essentials, local markets and restaurants serving Cretan specialities such as fresh fish and olive oil invite you to explore and enjoy. For leisure activities, there are plenty of opportunities for coastal walks, horse riding and cycling tours in the surrounding countryside.

Getting there is convenient; Sitia has a small airport with scheduled flights to Athens and charter flights during the summer months. Heraklion International Airport is about two hours’ drive away. The port connects the town by ferry to the Cyclades and the Dodecanese – ideal for business travellers and holidaymakers alike.
