Bringing our clients' wishes home for over 20 years

Operating from Kalives, in the Chania region, our family-run real estate agency lists properties from all over the isle of Crete, including stone houses, renovation properties and holiday villas.

Our company promotes top-quality resale properties, long-term and holiday rentals and the construction of unique homes by local craftsmen using the finest, eco-friendly materials. We make it our business to accommodate our clients around the world, from our office to the comfort of your own home.

For our customers abroad, we offer a remote purchase process. How does this work? Using whichever communication method you prefer:

  1. Initial contact | We discuss and assess what you are looking for as we would if you met us in our office.
  2. Property selection list | You may have a list already, or we will select properties that best suit your requirements, including those from our colleagues’ websites. With us, you have a one-stop point of contact for the majority of the best agents on the island at no extra cost.
  3. Virtual tour | After choosing your favourites, we will then take you on a virtual or real-time tour where you can ask questions of us or the owners, as you would if you were here.
  4. Purchasing process | We will be active in the process of negotiation between you and the owner. When a deal has been agreed, including a payment plan and deposit, a lawyer with your power of attorney will finalise the contracts and check that all paperwork and deeds are clear and correct. If all documents are in order, a draft contract is sent for your approval. The final contracts are then signed and registered by your representative (lawyer) at the State Notary Public office. At the time of signing, the payment is sent and the property or land is yours!  The deeds can be sent by email and the originals held with your lawyer unless otherwise instructed.

Buy property/land

With prices steadily increasing over the last 5 years and plenty space left for growth, now is the time to purchase property in Greece! Our experienced team provides advice, guidance and practical assistance throughout the viewing, selection and purchase process of your property. We arrange introductions to trusted professional legal and technical services to act solely in your interest.

Build your dream

From laying the first brick to tiling the roof, our service doesn’t end at the door. We connect you to reliable, local contractors and assist in acquiring building permits. The Mediterranean climate requires a specific approach, concerning painting, plastering and insulation. Crete Island Estates moulds your ideas into concrete plans.

Sell your property

Since 2011 we have seen a major shift of responsibility for accurate information, which is to be provided by the seller. Our experienced team assists with sourcing all paperwork that must be available for a clean and prompt title transfer.

Find your long-term rental

Whether you seek to retire to the sweet Mediterranean lifestyle, escape a cold winter or acclimate to the area while finding a forever home, Crete Island Estates has just the place for you. We assist you with the process of moving abroad, with a personal approach from our own experience and informative service.

We had fantastic support from the team at Crete Island Estates, particularly Neisha. They secured a great rental property for us whilst we were in UK and provided really useful information on relocating. They really took the stress out of our move and we are now happily in our Crete Villa. Thank you to all the team at Crete Island Estates.

We bought a plot of land in Plaka via Crete Island Estates and also gave them the contract to build our dream house. The team helped us throughout and made the buying process very simple with minimal effort from us back in London. The construction work went smoothly and speed and professionalism exceeded our expectations. In fact we are indebted to Claudia who attended the site on our behalf and changed the orientation of the house which made a great difference to the main vista of the villa. Overall, a trustworthy and professional company who will look after you from start to finish. If you are looking to buy, or buy and build in Crete you would be in good hands with this lot. Highly recommended. Kamran & Oriana

A few years ago we bought a plot and built a house in Crete. With great help from Claudia, Giorgios and the whole team of Crete Island estate , the task, that looked scary and a bit nerving at first, became very unnerving and easy. The team's professionalism, service oriented approach and honesty helped us a lot. The experience of buying a plot, planning, and going through the buliding process turned out to be very pleasant. We are very happy with the result, and with the process! Doron and Tali

Super équipe très professionnelle et sérieuse avec en prime un accueil sympathique. Ils ont su répondre à nos attentes et nous encadrer dans nos démarches. Nous avons acheté un terrain et fait construire avec Giorgos le mari de Claudia la gérante de l'agence. Leur conseil et le suivi du chantier s'est très bien passé même à distance. Nous conseillons vivement cette agence et la société de construction EBBC.

Neisha, Claudia and their team who we met in the final run up moments to our wedding day, were absolutely fantastic.. they helped us plan (and stay on track with!) a wedding which completely turned our dream into a reality. Armed with an amazing venue (Almyrida Resort’s rooftop Thea bar, where the staff there were equally amazing) they followed the small details through to execution, making the focus of the night running things accordingly to our needs (including staging a photo involving the infinite pool and intricately placing floating candles just where we wanted them), they really pulled off a huge task, and all with 60 guests to manage and shepherd around we couldn’t ask for me!
