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.

🌊 Schinokapsala – Picturesque mountain village with breathtaking panoramic views and traditional charm (postal code 720 55)
📍 Location & Accessibility
Schinokapsala is a picturesque mountain village in southeastern Crete, about 21 km northeast of Ierapetra. It lies at an altitude of 432 m on the southern foothills of the Thripti Mountains and offers impressive panoramic views of the Libyan Sea. The village is amphitheatrically built and surrounded by lush vegetation, particularly the Livadakia pine forest to the north, which is ideal for hiking. Its location offers the perfect combination of mountainous terrain and proximity to beautiful beaches.

Schinokapsala is the ideal location for property buyers seeking a traditional, quiet lifestyle, yet close to coastal amenities and towns. The impressive views of the Libyan Sea and the mountainous landscape make it an ideal location for the construction of holiday homes or residences. Population decline in recent years has led to the village being removed from mass tourism, making it a particularly attractive destination for property buyers who value the authentic Cretan lifestyle.

The coastal settlements of Achlia, Mavros Kolympos, and Galini are known for their beautiful beaches and tourist infrastructure.

The surrounding beaches are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. Hiking enthusiasts can also explore the surrounding area on beautiful trails.

The village of Schinokapsala has a historic charm, reflected in its old café, which has been operating for over 50 years, and the Church of Agios Georgios in the south of the village. This church is particularly known for its impressive murals. The region is also known for its wine bottling plant, which produces high-quality wine, thus preserving a beautiful piece of Cretan tradition.
