Kastelli - in the center of Kalyves

Only 150m from the beach

Kastelli is a new exclusive, modern – clean line, elegant and high standard Development,
located only 150 m from the beach of Kalyves. It consists of 6 luxury villas that offer

sea views and large terraces specifically designed for a very intimate and private
atmosphere.

The Development will be constructed on historic ground of 1046 sqm, in the center

of the Village. It is a combination of modern architecture incorporated into the village
prefecture. Within the first glance you will be reminded of a city center but with a
closer look you will feel the warmth of a smaller society.

The name “Kastelli” is inspired by the toponym of the area whereas Kalyves is a
developing settlement between two hills with amazing views of the bay and the
surrounding olive groves. Kastelli means castle and therefore we have dedicated each
villa to a famous Cretan Castle.

Crete has always been claimed by all the armies that operated in the Mediterranean
Region and for this reason small and large castles are scattered all over the surface
of the island, strong proof of the desire of the invaders to conquer it and of the

conquerors to keep it under their rule.

The main characteristic of the composition of the Development is the contrast
between the solid ground floor made of stone and the lighter white volumes on

the first floor. A big part of the design is also the privacy of each house. That is
accomplished through an elaborate use of subtraction in both volumes, that creates
private semi-outdoor spaces and big projective balconies.

This design gesture combined with the big opening that each house has, achieves a
beautiful dialog of indoor and outdoor spaces. The solid elements and the prismatic
recesses of the facades come into constant dialogue with the light perforated railings
of the balconies.
