Living and investing in Crete: property, lifestyle and practical advice

Crete

Crete is a prime destination for those looking for a house in Greece, offering a wide variety of properties: modern seaside villas, traditional stone houses nestled in the mountains and city apartments. The island charms with its idyllic beaches, spectacular gorges and mild Mediterranean climate all year round. The average price per square metre varies between €1,500 and €2,500, depending on the location and proximity to the sea. With a population of around 634,000, Crete has a good transport network, including two international airports in Heraklion and Chania. Chania, in the west, is popular for its Venetian architecture and contrasting landscapes, while Lasithi, in the east, offers a more exclusive setting with Elounda and Agios Nikolaos, where there are luxury villas and upmarket residential complexes. Easily accessible from Athens, Crete attracts hikers and history buffs alike, with iconic sites such as Knossos.
