Sculptor’s Cottage

Situated high on the Eastern ‘Metoche’ side of Aptera village, Western Crete The Sculptor’s House and Sculptor’s Cottage command breathtaking views over Souda Bay and in the opposite direction, towards the White Mountains. They share a large pool.

House Keys

The keys to your property will be in the door.
Warning: Self Locking Doors - Avoid Getting Locked Out!
Most of the front doors of Cretan properties do not have outside door handles and they are ‘self locking’. It is very easy for the door to swing closed behind you as you step outside and to find yourself locked out.
Leave the key in the outside of the lock or in an outside plant pot or similar, when you arrive at the property and anytime you are outside around the property (e.g. unloading the car, sitting on the terrace etc).
