About this listing

The neighborhood

Our neighbourhood, the district of Agia Triada, is one of the best preserved parts of “the old Heraklion” with traditional houses, monuments and narrow lanes. Very quiet and safe it used to be an artists’ haunt. A street festival is organized every year and many walls are decorated by new painters giving them life! The whole area is being under gentrification by the Municipality of Heraklion. The street was named after Cretan revolutionaries the Gavalades.

The House

Our house was originally built in 1926 and was given as a dowry to Michael’s mother by her father. It was completely renovated in 2011 and  declared a listed building as a sample of the architecture of the third decade of the 20th century.

Detached, traditional house with private yard in Heraklion centre, bright and quiet, placed on a beautiful pedestrian street of the old city.
