Relocate to Crete and enjoy an island where landscapes, mild climate, rich culture and healthy Mediterranean living come together.

Mild Winters

Crete enjoys a Mediterranean climate, where the weather can be characterised by mild winters and hot, dry summers. Warm weather is enjoyed for nine months of the year, from April to November and the winter months are just December to March.

Breathtaking landscape

Being the largest island of Greece at 8261 square kilometres, Crete is often referred to as ‘Megalonisos’ (big island). It is, in fact, the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean. Crete, which lies south of the Aegean Sea, in the centre of the East Mediterranean basin according to the Encyclopedia Britannica is a long and narrow island with an east-west orientation (260 km long and at its widest point 60 km). For many, these landscapes are a key reason to relocate to Crete and enjoy a life close to nature.

Strong local culture

Crete’s strong local culture is instrumental in the daily lives of the people of Crete. Cretan music, traditional dances, Cretan food, Christenings, weddings, festivals, religious celebrations and holidays are just a part of this integral and deeply intimate cultural heritage.
Famous Cretan hospitality is very much still alive; locals are friendly and offer directions and tips freely, neighbours frequently bring over fresh eggs, vegetables and fruits from their plots or even a meal or dessert they have prepared.

Healthy diet

In search of the ideal diet which would improve one’s health, ward off illness and optimise our functioning, the Cretan diet has been pinpointed as being just the right one to follow. Together, these elements show why more people choose to relocate to Crete for a balanced and fulfilling way of life.
