Foremost Villas in Crete
Crete is the largest and most Southern of the Greek islands, stretching for 256 km across the Mediterranean. It is the most popular island for those wishing to purchase a property yet has half the population density of the European Union. This beautiful and unspoilt island is blessed with 330 days of sunshine every year and a mild winter temperature. The landscape is both varied and drastic, ranging from a mountainous interior snow capped until May, to kilometre long white sandy beaches with turquoise seas.
 
The North West of Crete is an area of outstanding beauty and is the greenest part of the island, lush vegetation meets the coast where a scattering of villages and fishing harbours appear untouched by time. It is no wonder that with two major airports allowing easy accessibility via a 3 and a half hour flight, inexpensive property, unspoilt scenery, and a cost of living 40% less expensive than in the UK, that Crete is emerging as the island of choice.
