Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a rental cost in Crete?
The price range in Crete depends on property type (apartment/villa) and season. The catalogue cards show the minimum rate and range for the region; peak seasons (summer, winter holidays) push short-term rates up by 1.5–2×.
Which city in Crete should you choose for renting?
Choice depends on goals: work and business — cities with international companies and airports; holidays and sea — coastal cities; quiet life — small towns with good infrastructure. The catalogue shows the distribution of listings by city.
Can you rent in Crete with pets?
Some owners are open to tenants with pets, but usually require an extra deposit and sometimes a separate cleaning fee. Check during the search — we mark "pet-friendly" in property cards.
Apartment or villa — which rental format to pick?
An apartment is cheaper, closer to infrastructure and fits 1–2 people. A villa offers privacy, pool and space for family/groups, but comes with higher rent and utilities. For short-term group trips, villas are often better value.
What documents do you need for a long-term rental in Crete?
Passport, proof of income or funds to cover rent, in some regions — registration in the local tenant database. The contract is either a standard form or the owner's form — both are legitimate.
How do you pay rent from abroad?
Main options: SWIFT bank transfer, electronic payment systems, cryptocurrency (in some regions). Clarify at booking — owners are usually ready to accept whichever format works for the tenant.
Are utilities included in the rent?
Short-term rentals usually include everything (electricity, water, internet). For long-term rentals it depends on the contract: utilities are often billed separately via meters. Budget 50–200 EUR/month for utilities depending on property size.
Can I apply for a residence permit based on a rental contract in Crete?
In most countries a rental contract alone does not grant residence, but it is a mandatory attachment when applying for work, study, investment or D-visa based residence. A notarised 6–12 month contract is typically required.
