A two-storey house with two seperate bedrooms, one on each floor. Every part of the house has a breathtaking, panoramic view of the Aegean Sea. A trail of steps gives direct access to the sea. The ground floor includes a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a bedroom overlooking the blue waters. The bedroom has a double-bed and a single-bed with romantic mosquito nets.The kitchen has hot plates, a coffee maker and a refrigerator.

At the front of the house there is a large veranda with a wooden dining table offering amazing views over the sea. In the east yard of the house there are two sunbeds. The upper level has a cozy wooden bedroom and a balcony with panoramic views.
