The island is also famous for its friendliness, cuisine, and the naturalness of the villages along with beautiful landscape and has the world's loveliest and most rustic dwellings.

One of the first parts of the island of Crete to be developed is the Apokoronas peninsular is located in the North West. Here you can find many properties available, but most are under six years old. If you’re looking for something older and perhaps with a little more characters, then a village property may be what you are looking for. In recent years, more and more village properties are coming onto the market and the range available is quite extensive. You’ll be able to find anything from a ruin to one that is ready for habitation.

Many people from the cooler parts of Europe are buying properties and settling in Crete, retiring and taking up permanent residence. House and villa prices are still well below the cost of those in Europe making an attractive proposition for permanent living. Many properties are available, both old and new, some of which you can design yourselves or have the option to make changes during the building process. Why wait? Tune into a lifestyle with peace, tranquillity, good food and lots of sunshine..
