    We are German real estate agents and specialize in real estate from Crete. In addition to finding suitable properties on Crete for you, our portfolio also includes organizing viewing appointments on Crete.
    We are at your side at every stage of your property purchase in Crete and will accompany you from the first conversation through to the notary contract.

    Your ideas are important to us, such as the location on Crete in combination with sea views, proximity to the beach, sandy beach, stone house or swimming pool. There are also important points to consider, such as the dimensions of the rooms in a property. In Greece and therefore also on Crete, the walls are included, i.e. external wall to external wall. In contrast to German real estate, here measurements are taken from the inside wall to the inside wall.

    We strongly recommend that you check the living space specified when visiting Crete, as this can differ greatly from German information (calculation, living space regulations, DIN standards) and usable areas may have been included (cellar, technical room, balcony, terrace, etc.).
    Please also note that when specifying the location of real estate offers on Crete, these are approximate values.
    The Greek energy certificate (if required) is available during the inspection.

    Additional costs such as commission, real estate transfer tax, notary fees and legal fees are added to the stated purchase price. You can find more details on our homepage at INFOS.

    All properties from Crete offered through our portal have been carefully checked and translated. However, errors can creep in, so we assume no liability for the accuracy of the information.

    If you have any questions about the topic of buying a property or land on Crete, we are happy to help you and can clarify further details in a conversation.

    Our general terms and conditions apply, which you can find on our homepage under general terms and conditions and right of withdrawal.

  • 🏡 Sfakaki – A maritime living experience right outside Rethymno (postcode 741 50)
    Sfakaki is an up-and-coming coastal resort on Crete's north coast, distinguished by its prime location and expansive sandy beaches. Situated just a short drive east of the picturesque port city of Rethymno, the village offers the ideal combination of relaxed beach life and urban accessibility. The gently sloping coastline and the sparkling Cretan Sea define the landscape, making Sfakaki a favorite destination for sunbathers and water sports enthusiasts. Offering both modern tourist amenities and tranquil residential areas, it is perfectly suited for year-round use or as a high-quality holiday home.

    📜 Character & Lifestyle
    The lifestyle in Sfakaki is characterized by a carefree, maritime ease. Here, the day often begins with a stroll along the kilometer-long sandy beach, while evenings wind down in the cozy tavernas right on the water. The atmosphere is international and welcoming, yet retains Cretan warmth. The connection to nature is particularly fascinating: the beaches of Sfakaki serve as an important nesting ground for the protected loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Those who live here enjoy the luxury of walking barefoot to the beach and, at the same time, being just minutes away from the historic streets of Rethymno's old town.

    📍 Location
    Sfakaki lies on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Rethymno. Its direct connection to the national highway (VOAK) makes the village a strategic hub between the two major cities of Chania and Heraklion.

    🚗 Distances
    Rethymno (center): 8,9 km | 13 mins
    Chania Airport (CHQ): 76,3 km | 1 hr 12 min
    Kastelli Airport: 105,0 km | 1 hour 29 minutes

    🌿 Nature & Leisure Activities
    The endless beach of Sfakaki is the heart of the region, offering a wide range of activities – from relaxing sunbathing to water sports. The hinterland boasts rolling hills, ideal for cycling or hiking to traditional villages like Asteri or Pagalochori. Its central location on the north coast also allows for quick excursions to Arkadi Monastery, one of Crete's most important national monuments, or to the impressive mountains surrounding Mount Psiloritis. In Sfakaki, nature is not just a backdrop, but an active part of daily life.

    🧱 Real estate market
    The real estate market in Sfakaki is highly dynamic and offers excellent investment opportunities. Plots of land on the first or second line of the sea are particularly sought after, ideal for modern new-build villas or exclusive luxury villas. The flat topography often allows for barrier-free architectural designs with direct access to the garden and a private swimming pool. Modern apartments with sea views and holiday homes near the beach are also highly desirable due to their high rental yields. The combination of proximity to the beach and the immediate vicinity of Rethymno ensures continuous appreciation in value. As your specialized real estate agent in Crete, Schmidbauer Immobilien Kreta is your partner for finding the perfect property for you in this prime coastal location.
