This luxury 3 story house (395,11m2 ) perched on a hill above the vibrant towns of Atsipopoulo and Prines boasts a?rare?unobstructed?360-degree view today and for the foreseeable future. The large balconies provide views to the blue Mediterranean Sea and the Venetian castle of the?city?of?Rethymno to the north, and the distant airport of Chania and natural harbor of Suda Bay to the northwest. The tranquil sun rises in the east over gentle hills covered in oak forests, olive groves and pastureland, and for only a few weeks in summer, the sun rises out of the sea.
