Maisonette - Sell - Lesvos Prefecture, Limnos-Nea Koutali

For sale maisonette 138.76 sq.m. with an unobstructed view. Recently renovated with addition of solar and thermal facade. It has on the lower floor a large open-plan living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom with wc. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom with wc. Both floors have balconies. Kontias is one of the largest and most beautiful villages of Limnos and is located 11 km east of Myrina.

Kontias has largely preserved the atmosphere of the past, with the spirit of its long history strongly emerging in its old neighborhoods and cobbled streets. The old stone mansions of the shipowners of the 19th and 20th centuries were renovated and today either host their descendants or have been converted into tourist accommodation for visitors.

At the western entrance you are welcomed by the pine-covered hill with the chapel of Agios Athanasios and the beautiful picturesque windmills, a trademark of the village.

In Kontias, traditional and modern life marry perfectly. Cheese factories, distilleries and grocers coexist perfectly with taverns, patisseries, cafes, bars and beautiful tourist accommodation.

In the village there is also the Gallery of Contemporary Balkan Art, with a large collection of paintings by recognized artists, while scattered in the village there are several churches, the oldest of which is that of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, which is estimated to have been built in the 16th century. The parish church is dedicated to Agios Dimitrios and was built in 1867.

Just outside of Kontias, there is an artificial lake created by the damming of the Hadria stream. This shallow lagoon, which dries up in the summer, is a remarkable wetland in the winter, where phoenixes, herons, coots, ducks, etc. hibernate.
