5Crete – The Island That Has It All
Crete is the largest Greek island, offering an incredible mix of history, beaches, and mountains. The island provides a more affordable cost of living and a strong expat community, particularly in cities like Chania and Heraklion.
The weather is great year-round, the cost of living is lower compared to mainland Greece, and the local food and wine are excellent. On the downside, Crete can feel isolated from the mainland, and there are fewer international schools. Expats who want a slower pace of life, outdoor activities, and a friendly community will love Crete.
