Real Estate Description
This is a garden apartment - think of it as a single floor house. It's part of what used to be a very large house which over the centuries was inherited and physically split through the years. So today, the street entrance is used by three properties for access, but each with very clear boundaries.

The house is very easy to move straight into and apart from decorating to your taste needs very little doing.
The outside space is a big area with lots of potential and is truly a blank canvas for gardening out outside space enthusiasts.
The street entrance to this property in Hydra is shared with two other properties. Once down a short flight of steps from the entrance and through the gate, you reach this charming house for sale. It overlooks a good-sized garden and features a small flat-roofed outside bathroom which fairly recently has been turned into a study room or possible single bedroom. The flat roof is perfect for setting up a table and chairs to watch the sunset over Dokos Island.
From the garden, you enter an L-shaped apartment. A double bedroom with fitted wardrobes is at one end of the living room, while the kitchen is located at the right angle of the L-shaped space. The bathroom is located off the kitchen end of the living room. Very simple, clean, with character, and easy to move into and live as it is without making any changes.
The main terrace is made with beautiful red stone from Dokos, featuring the garden on one side of it. At the end of the terrace, there is a huge flight of entrance steps leading. The funny part is that they are leading to nowhere.
Originally, this one and neighboring houses were part of a much larger building that fell into disuse. Over generations, the properties were divided, leaving the grand set of stairs isolated and unused. A flat roof at the top of the stairs is the ceiling of the bathroom in the short length of the L-shaped apartment. Below the stairs, accessible from the bathroom, is a storage area with a sloping ceiling due to its position.
As you walk out of the apartment door, you look across the red Dokos terrace at three small multi-level terraces. One of these terraces has a small outbuilding that was originally used as a toilet for the property. It is situated next to the garden.
The garden is flat and has a square shape. It was a very productive vegetable garden for years, but now it’s left go fallow. Luckily, it could be brought back to life very easily.

Neighbourhood
This is one of the most characterful areas of Kamini, still evoking the charm it had 25 years ago when I first moved to the island. You rarely see tourists wandering about (unless they’re lost), and the neighbors, mostly old Hydriot families, often sit in the street chatting and keeping an eye on the neighborhood.
A little further west of this real estate for sale in Hydra is the start of the inland Kamini to Vlychos route, making Vlychos Beach about a 15-minute walk away. Your nearest shop for provisions is the Gavrilis store, and the closest restaurant is Pirofani.
