Buying here

Looking for a home in Crete?

I

Visit first, then buy

Many buyers discover a place as guests, return to view homes in person and buy on a later visit. Start with our guide to Crete.

II

Buy from abroad

Many international buyers own before they ever visit: they view homes by video, work with a licensed agency and an independent lawyer, and sign from home where the law allows.

III

Invest as an institution

Funds, family offices and companies buy whole buildings and portfolios, working directly with the Founding Partner Agencies and Developers of this Territory.
