Crete, the largest of the Greek islands
and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean, has less than
half the average population density of the EU and has become
the most popular Greek island for those wishing to retire
or set up semi-permanent residence. Unlike many of the smaller
islands, life goes on after summer; and why shouldn't it when
spring and autumn temperatures in the 70s sandwich short,
mild winters? Countless traditional villages amble through
life as they have done for centuries. Even the smallest have
a village square, kafenion and taverna, where you can eat
and drink the day away for not much more than a pocket of
small change. In general, the cost of living is 40% less than
that of the UK and comes with a free and limitless supply
of Crete's unreserved hospitality!
The landscape is as varied as it is beautiful;
the backbone of the island is mountainous, with snow capped
peaks on view until May. There is the famous Samaria Gorge,
Europe's longest at 18 kilometres. It provides fertile areas
ablaze with colour and rugged slopes plunging 600 metres to
the valley floor |
