A small team in Kalyves, Apokoronas, helping buyers from abroad find, view and buy their home.
Selected homes for sale
A few of the houses, villas and apartments on our books right now, from the villages of Apokoronas to the coast near Chania.
A local office in Kalyves
Our office is in Kalyves, in the heart of Apokoronas, and most of the homes we sell are a short drive away. We walk you through every step in English — viewings, tax number, lawyer, notary — so buying in Crete feels as clear as buying at home.
And when the keys are yours, we can look after the house for you: maintenance, long-term tenants or holiday guests.

Questions buyers ask us
Something else on your mind? Send us a message on WhatsApp and one of us will get back to you.
Do I need to be in Crete to buy?
No. You can give power of attorney to a lawyer, who signs on your behalf. You can come for the viewings and complete the rest from home, with us keeping you updated at every step.
What costs should I budget on top of the price?
Plan for the transfer tax, notary and land registry fees, your lawyer and the agency fee. The exact amounts depend on the property, so we send you a written estimate for the house you choose before you commit. [Typical percentages to be confirmed by ALMA]
How long does a purchase usually take?
Once your offer is accepted, the lawyer checks the title and permits, you get your tax number and bank account, and then the contract is signed at the notary. [Usual timeframe to be confirmed by ALMA] Plots and older village houses can take longer.
Can you look after the house when I am away?
Yes. We hold the keys, pay the bills, look after the garden and pool, check the house regularly and after storms, and arrange repairs with local tradespeople. We can also find long-term tenants or manage holiday guests.
Can I rent the house to holiday guests?
Yes, once the property has a short-term rental registration number. We can register it, prepare the house for guests and take care of listings, bookings, cleaning and check-ins, sending you a statement of the income. [Fees and current rules to be confirmed by ALMA]
