Paradise Found
By Fred and Sheila Orton
We have found paradise.
Everyday we sit on our balcony and smile at each other,THIS IS IT, Ravdoucha.
The
Sparkling sea with its gentle waves lapping on the shore. Clear blue
sky where we spends hours looking at wonderful air shows,Swallows
skimming the pool, Ravens, Peregrine Falcons,Kestrels,Buzzards, and the
giants of the skies,Egyptian Vultures,Griffon Vultuers, and even Golden
Eagles pass overhead like hang gliders.
All this and we havn,t
even mentioned the view yet, Its hard to find words to describe the
overwhelming beauty, Its stunning, the panoramic view,looking from left
to right,over the bay to the large working town of Kissamos, then
around to the Gramvousa peninsula and open sea,on a clear days to the
small islands of Anti Kithira and Kithira, and sometimes in the clear
light before the haze of summer even as far as the Peloponnese,then
back into the bay and the Rodapos peninsula to the right and the small harbour and welcoming Taverna's then up the hill to our home.

We
met Hellenic Homes at the NEC homes abroad exhibition,we checked out
their web site and made appointments with them and other agents in the
North West area. We came over April 2004 and Ravdoucha was the first
plot of many we saw and we knew it was where we wanted to be.
The house was finished a month ahead of schedule, January 2005. We drove over In March with our ten year old golden Retriever George.
The people in the village are very friendly and helpfull and have made us most welcome.
We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and builders at Hellenic Homes for VILLA SUNSET, in Paradise.
