Welcome to Crete island!

Crete is an island with a diversity unsurpassed by any other island on earth. It’s hard to find someone who can be untouched by at least one of the faces of this island:

People - History - Beaches - Mountains -
Breath-taking scenery - Relaxation – Nightlife

In its historical and mythical journey through the ages, Crete has been:

  • The birth place of the Minoan civilization, which was the first highly organized civilization in Europe.

  • The place where God King Zeus was raised.

  • The birth place of the divine princess Europe - destined later to name the entire Continent after her.

In modern Crete you can find many trails of its glorious past. But, after thousands of years, some things have surely change. One of the most significant is that… you don’t have to be a God to be entitled to live in this unspoilt mediterranean oasis.


Crete, property and Creteliving.com

More than three and a half million people experienced Crete last year. A good percentage of them desire “a place of their own” in the island. Some of them have turned this desire into a reality. A lot more will do the same in the forthcoming years. This trend is so strong, that there are already real “international” villages on the island, where you can hear three or more languages spoken in everyday life. This has to do mostly with the place, but also with the locals, who are some of the most friendly, welcoming and easy-going people all over Europe - and the world.

Unfortunately for the prospective property owners, demand drives the prices up at a fast pace. The locals have seen their land and their homes actually doubling in value in the last five years.

And this is exactly what causes the most frustration – and risk – to prospective property owners: with so much to gain, practically every local resident with a second plot or house tries to become a micro-real-estate-agent in his own right. And this is the main reason behind low construction quality in certain cases - substantially lower than the quality of the location itself.

So, a big need grew bigger during these last years, phrased by a single question:

“Where can I find the best home deals in Crete,
regarding both construction quality and value for money?”

Creteliving.com was born out of this need.

Some points to further consider:

  • We personally check thoroughly each and every listed property, in order to find out if it adheres to the highest construction quality standards. Only the best properties make it to the web pages of Creteliving.com.

  • All properties listed have two years guarantee straight from the construction company.

  • Finally, it’s all about our process (or, as we say, “the Crete Living way”): our philosophy in Creteliving.com is to provide you with a home searching and buying procedure that is neither complicated, nor boring, but to-the-point, substantial, and, sometimes… even entertaining!

How? You are welcome to find it out yourself.
