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.

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.

🏡 Plakias – A vibrant coastal jewel on the Libyan Sea (postcode 740 60)
Plakias is one of the most striking coastal towns on Crete's southern coast, renowned for its breathtaking geographical location. Nestled in a wide bay, flanked by imposing mountains and dramatic gorges like the Kourtaliotiko Gorge, the town offers unparalleled panoramic views. From its humble beginnings as a small fishing port, Plakias has evolved into a charming center that blends the rugged beauty of the south with a well-established, modern infrastructure. It is the ideal location for those seeking a vibrant maritime lifestyle in a region celebrated for its excellent water quality and pristine natural environment.📜 Character & Lifestyle
The atmosphere in Plakias is characterized by a relaxed, cosmopolitan vibe. Despite its popularity, the town has retained its typical Cretan warmth. Numerous tavernas and cafés line the expansive waterfront promenade, inviting visitors to linger. Here, adventure and relaxation blend seamlessly: during the day, the surrounding nature beckons exploration, while in the evenings, one can enjoy the tranquility of the Libyan Sea. Plakias attracts a clientele that appreciates the authenticity of the south but doesn't want to forgo comfort and a good selection of services.📍 Location
