Jenn and Elliot are childhood sweethearts, who can’t wait to get married later this year. They’ve also both fallen in love with the island of Crete and feel the time is right to find their perfect holiday home in the glorious Greek sunshine. With a budget of £100,000, they’ve asked Laura Hamilton to help them find the perfect property but out of the five fantastic options she’s lined up, will any hit the spot?
About the area
A four hour flight from the UK takes you to Crete, the largest Greek island in the Mediterranean sea, and to the region of Chania in the west. Home to the White Mountains national park, which covers a large proportion of the region, Chania also boasts endless stretches of coastline, with golden sandy beaches. The sea here is crystal clear – perfect for a spot of snorkeling.
With traditional villages dotted between olive and citrus groves to explore, and the city of Chania itself the second largest on the island, this area attracts thousands of visitors every year.
