It is an ideal place for expatriates, especially because of the local population&#8217;s command of the English language. Investors and people looking for a second home will also be seduced by the island&#8217;s advantageous tax conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tax conditions in Crete are very interesting for foreign pensioners. Indeed, they pay only 7% tax for the first 15 years after moving to the island, a rate lower than that of Portugal, already considered a tax haven for retirees. Moreover, the cost of living in Crete is generally between 15% and 25% lower than in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" data-id=\"4984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter.png\" alt=\"What to see in Chania?\" class=\"wp-image-4984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter.png 960w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter-100x65.png 100w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/chania-visiter-360x240.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>Chania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" data-id=\"4983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter.png\" alt=\"What to see in Heraklion?\" class=\"wp-image-4983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter.png 960w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter-100x65.png 100w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/heraklion-visiter-360x240.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>Heraklion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"407\" data-id=\"4544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/port-venitien-rethymnon.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/port-venitien-rethymnon.png 693w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/port-venitien-rethymnon-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><figcaption>Rethymnon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cities of Heraklion, Chania and Rethymnon are particularly popular with expatriates, but other parts of the island also offer great opportunities. Most houses in Crete are around 100m\u00b2 and often have a plot of land, a pool and a garage. The average cost of such a property is around 260 000\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crete is also an incredible natural heritage to discover and appropriate (humbly): the incredible beaches of Elafonissi, Preveli or Balos Beach, its mountains, its villages&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, Crete is an ideal place for expatriates looking for a sunny, pleasant and economical place to live. The pleasant climate, rich culture and friendly people make it an ideal choice for people wishing to settle abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Living_in_Crete_rent_or_buy_easily_on_the_spot\"><\/span>Living in Crete: rent or buy easily on the spot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To rent an apartment in Crete, you can start by searching online listings on sites like Airbnb or local vacation rental sites.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also contact local real estate agencies to tell them about your search criteria and see if they have any offers for you. Thus, thanks to Rentola for example, you can find on their site rentals and even real estate to buy in Crete, in the main cities of the island: Chania, Heraklion, Rethymnon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who want to take the plunge, perhaps, especially if you do not know Crete yet, you will want to discover the Cretans for a few months, thanks to a rental.
