Is property on Crete a good investment?
There are certain undeniable facts that lead us to believe that the answer is clearly and categorically a big YES.
The Place
Crete is the southern end of Europe, it is the closest European Region to the equator and almost equidistant from mainland Europe (110 km). These geographic characteristics of the island make it so unique . Crete is Greece's largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean basin. It is considered the bridge between Europe and Africa, the crossroad of three continents. It's the 13th Region of Greece and is divided into four prefectures. The two biggest cities of Crete, Heraklion and Chania, are also the two main gateways for people and trade.
The Food
The island of Crete is one of the most naturally healthy places in the world to live, where the people incorporate thousands of plants and herbs as part of everyday nutrition. The islanders have developed a particular diet which has now been proved to be one of the healthiest in the world.
Research started in 1960 and using data from seven countries concluded in 1986 that as a result of that diet, Cretan people suffered notably fewer deaths as a result of heart attacks, various forms of cancer and other diseases compared to all the other places in the study.
The basics of this diet are bread, pulses, nuts, vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, olive oil, cheese, spices and wine. From these ingredients spring the delicious array of Cretan specialities.
From a separate study it was concluded that not only was the Mediterranean cuisine better for the heart and produced fewer heart attacks, but the Cretan diet in particular was extremely healthy. A large part is played by the island's olive oil which is produced in vast quantities on Crete and is a basic ingredient in a multitude of dishes. So not only does Crete offer a healthy climate but a particularly excellent diet.
Quality of Life
