Crete for Nature
Crete's flora and fauna is astonishingly varied - with numerous species unique to the island - largely undisturbed and easily accessible.
A typical mountain walk, gentle or as strenuous as you like, will take you through beautiful wild flowers and overpoweringly aromatic herbs, like wild thyme and sage, whilst the skies are often filled with 3 types of birds of prey, from golden eagles to the rare huge lammergeyer.
Being 250 kilometers long Crete is a big island, with environments ranging form high snowy mountains in winter to dramatic gorges, sudden hidden fertile farming valleys and endless stunning coastline. Often all within a stones throw of each other!
Crete Golf and Crete Sailing; set to bring new investor attractions
Currently there is only one Cretan golf course, near Heraklion. And although there are pretty harbours at Sitia and Makrigialos, there are no marina's currently on the east or south east Crete coast. But plans are advanced for east Crete by three leisure developers. Infrastructure roads have already begun.
They are in areas of stunning natural beauty with sea and mountain views and are planned with the strictest environmental controls and sensitivities. These resorts, in conjunction with the new Sitia airport due to open in 2009, will soon bring significant property value uplift.
Prices are currently rising at 20% pa without the golf and sailing. What will happen when these facilities come on stream!? Investors will be very happy and old world lifestyle seekers will find prices becoming harder to afford. So move quickly!

Sailing off southeast Crete is in crystal clear waters with constant backdrops of deserted islands and stunning mountain ranges. And you can currently berth in Sitia harbour very cheaply.
And you are just yards away from traditional fish tavernas, not tacky souvenir shops.
