Crete
Why buy here?
Crete is the largest and furthest south of the Greek islands, more than twice the size of Cornwall. Thanks to its 650 miles of stunning coastline and 300-plus pristine beaches, more than 3 million Brits choose to come on holiday here every year. Inland it has a spectacular mountainous landscape dotted with many traditional villages where time seems to have stood still. The island can be reached by a four hour flight from the UK and is served by two international airports (Chania and Heraklion), both in the north of the island. Crete has developed a fantastic infrastructure with access to all parts of the island easy for those who drive or prefer to take public transport – most villages are accessible via daily bus services
