Crete, Greece, Lee Juggurnauth

Lee Juggurnauth is helping Marcia and Ron from Devon, who have been married for 46 years. They’ve always dreamed of buying their own holiday home in the sun, and now they’re retired and the money is in the bank they’re finally ready to take the leap! They’re looking to buy in Crete because of the climate, the friendly people and the beautiful beaches. Lee has 5 great options for their budget of £255,000 – but will any be perfect enough for them to make an offer?

About the area

Crete is the largest and most southerly of all the Greek islands, with a population of more than six hundred thousand people – who are joined by almost three million tourists each year. Unsurprisingly on an island this size there’s something for everyone – Crete has more than 100 blue flag beaches, lively resorts, beautiful countryside and loads of historical sights to visit. And for potential holiday home owners the island, along with the rest of Greece, has another great benefit.
