There is a large foreign community in Crete which has grown rapidly in recent
years. Since Greece has opened up its laws to allow foreigners to purchase
property there have been a steady influx of people moving to Crete either
permanently or temporarily in the summer months.
There are a number of international organizations, for both expats and
Greeks,which arrange walks, social evenings, get-togethers and charity events.
