The Living in Crete Book
A one- stop survival manual no long or short term resident, property
investor, worker or traveller in Crete or Greece should leave home without!
Having experienced the Cretan lifestyle and culture, along with the frustrations
of working through the many laws and regulations during my 20 years spent
living and working in Crete and Greece, I have put together the experience and
knowledge gained over those years into this book, along with updated
information from Greek government departments and services.
All you need to know before and after a move or property purchase in Crete
and Greece.
Pooling twenty years experience of living and working on the island of
Crete, the Living in Crete guide is packed with detailed information to make
your stay on the island – however long or short it may be – as painless and
trouble free as possible.
