Why choose East Crete

Eastern Crete is the most unspoilt part of the Island of Crete. Whilst it enjoys more sunny days than the West - 320 per year - it has been, historically, difficult to get to. Now with the advent of direct flights to Sitia from Athens as well as a regular ferry service from Piraeus, more and more people are discovering the delights that East Crete has to offer.

About Sitia Town

Sitia is a small and pleasant coastal town, built in a semicircle on the western side of the Bay of Sitia, a typical, peaceful Mediterranean port. It is the capital of the county with the same name and is sited 73 km east of Agios Nikolaos.

Visitors in Sitia particularly enjoy the climate and the wonderful beaches. The highest temperature in the summer is approx. 35 C. and the lowest in winter is 7 C. Sitia is the seat of administrative and public services for the county and has good road and sea connections. There is also a rapidly developing airport with connection to Athens, Kassos, Karpathos, Preveza and Rhodes.

The name Sitia is derived from the ancient city of Itia, birthplace of one of the seven wise-men of the antiquity, Mison. Sitia existed during the Late-Minoan period and until the Venetian period. During the Venetian occupation the town of Sitia was destroyed three times; in 1508 by a terrible earthquake, in 1538 by the pirate Barbarosa and in 1651 by the Venetians so as not to fall in the hands of the Turks.

For two centuries Sitia ceased to exist as a town, until 1869. The present city was built in 1870. Unlike many other towns in Crete, Sitia is a lively and vibrant town all year round.
East Crete – European Property Hot Spot – 2008
With the cost of living being lower than most other EU countries, the lowest crime rate in Europe, a relaxed lifestyle, a fantastic climate with over 320 days of sunshine annually, sandy beaches and unspoilt scenery. Is it any wonder that so many Northern Europeans are choosing to move to East Crete?

Property and land prices are still affordable, very much cheaper than the more tourist developed West Crete. With improved road links, Sitia airport and Harbour developments, the area is tipped as a very good investment for years to come.

With the global financial crisis and housing markets in the USA and Europe subdued many sellers realize there are not so many buyers in the market this year and have reduced their asking prices. This makes it a very good time to buy as these prices won’t last. Check the “price reduction” filter in our property search.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS
What is the weather like in Eastern Crete?
Every year is different however generally the summer is hot and dry, sometimes windy, especially in July and August and we do not normally get any rain until end of September in East Crete. As the winter draws nearer it gradually gets cooler with occasional rain generally at night but when there are no clouds the sun is still warm just like a warm summers day in England but not so humid. This weather generally continues until December and all the local people are out trying to get there olives in and the first citrus crops are ready for picking. Vegetables and flowers grow rapidly at this time and all the countryside becomes green and fertile. After Christmas it is definitely colder for about two months and we get some spectacular thunderstorms and a lot more rain. By March the temperature generally starts to improve, there is less and less rain as Spring approaches and this is normally a temperate season with the countryside and the high hills clad in glorious spring flowers.

What is a topography?

The topography is a measured and drawn record of the boundaries of the land or property and is used to state ownership on the land registry

What are the rules about plots of land?

When the plot of land is outside the village plan normally the minimum requirement is 4000 sq mtrs on which you can build 200 sq mtrs HOWEVER there are many rules and regulations regarding land and building with almost as many exceptions to these rules. Therefore, each plot of land needs to be dealt with on an individual basis and we are able to assist you with your search once we have established what you want to do and where you want to build.
How much does it cost to build?

As a very general rule of thumb building costs per m2 are currently between 1300 - 1600 euros. However, the actual cost of building is heavily dependant on access, distance from material supply, standard of materials used, service infrastructure, plot restrictions and land stability etc. Therefore it is our policy not to make a guess at building costs for individual properties as this can lead to great disappointment. If you are interested in a particular renovation or plot of land we can arrange for our civil engineer to inspect the property for you and give you a costing. Alternatively you are free to engage an engineer of your choice to inspect the property for you.
'PROPERTY ON CRETE'S BUYING PROCESS

What documents will I require to buy a property?

You will need passport, a full birth certificate for each of the people buying the property and if it is married couple a copy of the marriage certificate.

What else will I require to buy a property?

As an agency we do not operate client accounts as we believe you should retain control of your money so you can authorise when the money is withdrawn by the lawyer. Therefore, you will need to set up a personal bank account into which you can send your money if and when you wish to go ahead with a purchase. To open the bank account you will need a copy of a household bill from your residence in the UK and a Greek tax number if you do not already have one. To apply for the tax number you will require a passport, birth certificate and marriage certificate if applicable. The bank account can be opened whilst you are here and we are happy to help if you desire.
