Marvellous luxurious villa for sale Location:

The island of Daedalus and Icarus. Of Minoan vases and famous frescoes. Shining and starlit, with its black baggy breeches and fringed kerchiefs. Romantic Crete, with its sparkling sea, rocks and gleaming plateaus. Crete, land of full-bodied wine and pungent tsipouro. "Sleepless Crete, land of endless feasts under star-studded skies", scented with wild fennel and fresh basil. Dizzying Crete, of the warlike dances.

The morphology, geography and the climate make for an idyllic land where natures balance reigns and monotony is conspicuous only by its absence. It combines the tall, unsalable and harsh mountain ranges with the fertile plains, the large ports with the quaint bays, the bustling north with the serene south, the peninsula with the sea, the snow and the rain with the abundant sunlight. A land which could indisputably be characterized as "the island of the Makares" or "paradise" according to the ancient Greeks.

Geography
Anchored in the sea, it serves as a crossroads of three continents - Europe to the North, Asia to the east and Africa to the south, Crete seems to spread its length like a barrier across the southern Aegean. It lies at a distance of approximately 100 km from the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese, 175 kms. from the shores of Asia Minor, and 800 km from Africa. It is the largest of the Greek islands, and fifth in size among the islands of the Mediterranean, after Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Cyprus.

The waters of the Cretan Sea wash its coasts on the northern side, the waters of the Libyan Sea on the southern side, the waters of the Carpathian Sea on the eastern side, and on the west the coasts are washed by the waters the Myrtoon Sea.

Its maximum length is 260 kms. from the Gramvousa point in the northwest up to the Sideros point in the southeast, while its width varies from 60 kms. (from Stavros point to Lithino Cape) to 12 kms. at the lerapetra straits (gulf of Mirabello to lerapetra bay). Its area is 8,261 sq. kms. and, together with the islets of Gavdos and Dia, 8,303 sq. kms.

Crete also has a number of plateaus among the mountain peaks. The land, here, is usually fertile and the rainwater which collects in these natural basins during the winter makes these plateaus ideal for agriculture.
