The Rock Castle, situated at the outskirts of the fashionable little harbor and town of Aghios Nikolaos and 65 kms. from the international airport of Heraklion, was built on the ruins of a 16th century Venetian fortress and meticulously conforms with the traditional building methods and architectural features of the Aegean islands. The windows face east and its walls reach down into the clear blue waters of the gulf of Mirabello. Completely oriented to the sea, the estate is composed of magnificent Main House and a second building containing a Guest Apartment and two Guest Studios. The Main House with its spacious sitting/dining areas that can accommodate up to 200 guests contains three bedrooms surrounded by big, sunny verandas and gardens. The Guest Apartment and the two Guest Studios, completely isolated from the Main House and built in independent architectural groups nested into the rocks, have their own individual entrances, private covered verandas, and face the blue waters of Mirabello Bay in front. All together, this 400 sq. m. villa, on a 7,000 sq. m. lot, offers unique accommodations for 17 persons and its private swimming cove the rare privilege of total privacy, only a few minutes away from the picturesque town of Aghios Nikolaos. Rock Castle has been repeatedly featured in various architectural magazines and its guests through the years include the Beatles, Empress Soroya, Donovan, Joan Baez, Michaelangelo Antonioni, Joan Collins and more recently the Chairman of Fox Entertainment and James Cameron (Director of “Titanic”).
