Welcome to Crete....a better quality of life...
Plaka is one of the best-known and most traditional villages in West Crete, in the
Apokoronas area. Plaka is a friendly little village, set out in a horseshoe shape on
the hillside, with an excellent view of Almyrida and of course Souda Bay and the
azure Sea of Crete. The village is green with plants and largely preserves its lovely
natural environment, as it is set on the slopes of Mount Drapanokefala with its
verdant, varied vegetation. You can see olive and plane trees, low scrub and
even organic farms, which do not detract from the charm of the area.
The village largely preserves its traditional character, although the locals will tell
you that recent building has meant it is beginning to lose its distinctive
atmosphere.
Plaka has a lovely main square which is the focal point of the village. This is where
locals and visitors alike meet in the cafeterias and kafeneia.
The inhabitants of Plaka are mostly farmers, and the production of olive oil, wine
and tsikoudia (raki) is widespread.
In the local shops and tavernas you will find very good local wine, both to drink
while you’re there and to take away with you.
Plaka is 23 km from Chania, and belongs to Vamos Municipality along with the
neighbouring villages of Almyrida and Kalyves.

In many countries when purchasing a property, a
lawyer is responsible for the drafting and the
registration of the sales contract. In Greece however
we have a separate legal profession known as
‘Notaries’. A notary is responsible for drafting any and
all legally binding contracts. Buying a property in
Greece cannot be completed without their
participation.
The notary fee is calculated in most cases at 1.6 %
including tax and the ‘Land Registry’ fee is calculated
at 0.475 - 0.575 % plus 23 % VAT respectively. The
notarial fee decreases as the amount of the
transaction increases.
On properties where the Building Licence was issued
before January 1st 2006, real estate transfer tax is
charged at 3,09% of the price.
On properties where the Building Licence was issued on
or after January 1st 2006 and the seller is a developer-
contractor, taxation of 23% of the purchase price will
apply.
The legal fee is a matter of agreement but it is usually
1% of the property price or a minimum of 1.500 euros
plus taxes.

Buying property in Greece is different than in many other parts of Europe, but is certainly
not difficult. Kreta Eiendom’s personal service includes guiding you through the whole
purchasing process and beyond.
The simplest way to buy property as a ‘Non Resident’ in Greece is through ‘Power of
Attorney’. As all buyers are required by law to have legal representation when
purchasing real estate, you will need to retain a lawyer whether you chose to use the
power of attorney process or not. If you don’t already have a lawyer we can assist you in
finding one.
We recommend that you chose the Power of Attorney option as it allows the whole
purchase and construction process to be completed quickly and simply in your absence.
Your lawyer will be able to open a Greek bank account in your name, obtain an
obligatory tax number (AFM), make payments on your behalf and deal quickly and
efficiently with any paper work pertaining to the purchase and construction of your
home.
To instigate Power of Attorney you simply need to complete a form with your personal
details and provide a copy of your passport(s). The Power of Attorney will need to be
stamped by the Greek Consulate. If you don’t have a Consulate in your local area we
will inform you of a simple alternative procedure when the time comes.
If you would like further information regarding the benefits and procedures to obtaining a
Power of Attorney please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please note that the majority of legal documentation pertaining to property transactions
is in Greek. Although a verbal translation is always provided, any official translation of
such documentation will be at the buyer’s expense.
”By using Kreta Eiendom in the legal process of buying
a property, the transaction will be far easier than you
imagine. We simply take care of everything!

Land of the gods and the island of dreams, Crete is
steeped in history, myths and legends dating back
thousands of years. Ancient monuments and
architectural treasures blend with modern day
structures creating a warm Mediterranean atmosphere.
Everything you’ve ever imagined a magical place to
have and more can be found on this wonderful island.
Exciting night life, archaeological wonders, spectacular
scenery and unique vegetation, the list is endless. With
a lower cost of living than the rest of Europe and an
even lower crime rate, Crete is a very attractive place
to be!
The largest and most southerly of all the Greek islands,
Crete has over a thousand kilometers of spectacular
coast line. Long sandy beaches, hidden coves and far
reaching peninsulas, surrounded by the Ionian Sea to
the north and the Libyan sea to the south, Crete is one
of the most fascinating and diverse places in the world.
Divided in to four counties; Chania, Rethymno,
Heraklion and Lasithi, each county of Crete has a
character of its own. As you travel across the island, the
rolling landscape and breath taking scenery may
change, but the warmth and friendly hospitality of the
local people always remain the same. They open their
hearts and their homes, eager for you to share their
culture, learn their traditions and sample their cuisine.
Family unity is an important part of life here, revolving of
course around the kitchen table!
Due to the consistently good climate, agricultural and
live stock farming are still the most common industries.
Fruit and vegetables are grown all year round. This
produce, together with their world renowned olive oil
create some of the tastiest and healthiest dishes you will
ever enjoy. No wonder Cretans have one of the highest
life expectancy rates in the world!
Why Choose Crete...
A lot can be said about Crete,
but keep in mind
that the ultimate ecperience
is to come and discover
it for yourself...

Chania is Crete’s most evocative city, with its pretty Ve-
netian quarter, crisscrossed with narrow lanes, culminat-
ing in a magnificent harbour. Remnants of Venetian
and Turkish architecture abound, with old town houses
now restored, transformed into atmospheric restaurants
and boutiques.
Chania is one of the oldest cities in Crete, with a rich
and tumultuous history. Today it is the second most
populated city on the island, a city that has preserved
its traditional architecture and most of its monuments.
The Venetian harbour with its lighthouse and the old
town in the centre have bestowed on Chania the repu-
tation of the most picturesque city in Crete, welcoming
thousands of visitors each year.
Chania does not lag behind in modern developments
too, as it is home to the Technical University of Crete
and other educational establishments. It also offers
many and varied cultural events and entertainment.
It could be said that Chania consists of two towns, the
old and the new, which co-exist harmoniously. The new
town embraces the old and spreads outwards ever
wider. Its layout is fine near the centre and it’s easy to
find your way around. This changes somewhat in the
suburbs where it’s easy to get lost. It is often said that it is
very easy to find your way into Chania but much harder
to find your way out. Of course, you may not actually
want to leave at all, as Chania is certainly a city that will
captivate you.
The prefecture of Chania combines a cosmopolitan at-
mosphere, exotic beaches, nature, coastline & moun-
tains, beauty and history. The White Mountains, or ‘Lefka
Ori’, occupy a sizeable area in the centre of West Crete
and are the main feature of a region which also offers
numerous beaches. The stretches of sand range from
the Blue Flag beauties in Agioi Apostoloi and Gerani to
the chic bar-lined strip in Agia Marina.
Chania - The city that will enchant you...
