REAL ESTATE & PROPERTY IN GREECE & THE GREEK ISLANDS 

THIS MONTH - REAL ESTATE ON CRETE & SANTORINI

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and it offers a wide variety of locations for those seeking either a holiday home or  permanent residence in a mediterranean climate. To the east, Crete is less developed because its infrastructure has generally lagged behind the rest of the island.  Now however, that is changing, with the upgrading of the airport at Sitia and new road developments making the eastern part of Crete much more accessible. East Crete is a region where there is plenty of opportunity to find modestly priced houses in traditional Greek villages. In many villages there are carpenters and stonemasons who still posess the old skills and can do wonders in renovating old properties.

In the west, the Chania region is greener and more lush but despite a greater amount of development, the villages are still villages and many of them have breathtaking sea views.

Crete has become more and more popular with Russian holidaymakers and this year Air Rossyia is starting new direct flights from Russia. Russians have been strong buyers of property in Crete and new direct flights can only benefit the property market in Crete as a whole.

So whether you prefer east or west, there are strong reasons for believing that an investment in Crete will prove profitable, as well as giving many years of pleasure.

We represent establsihed developers in West Crete who build villas and apartments of high quality.  They have a full range of properties from 1 bedroom apartments to luxurious villas which can be built to an owners specifications.

Santorini is an island steeped in history.   With its own unique style of architecture, its excellent restaurants and shopping facilities and its magnificent sunsets, it is a port of call for many cruise ships in the estarn mediterranean.  Our development of five maisonettes near to Oia, with two bedrooms, balconies, a shared swimming pool, communal gardens, a good sea view and built by a developer with years of experience behind him, offers excellent value for money at only 150,000 Euro

Secondly Greece has many areas of outstanding natural beauty which attract people from all over Europe and further afield. There is a steady market for real estate in Greece from people who want to get away from the European city rat race, people who appreciate the calm of village life, the beauty of a sunset over the mountains and the carpets of wild flowers which  cover the country from end to end, every spring. Greece is still a country of tradition and even to non Greeks, the festivals and customs observed and performed throughout the year have an attraction which is all the greater for the simple reason that in much of Europe, they have been allowed to die.

All these factors and more have helped to ensure that real estate in Greece has been and still continues to be, a sound investment.
