The Apokoronas extends from the foothills of the White Mountains north to the coast, in a wide plain with rolling hills. To the east, Cape Drapanon rises above the plain and extends out into the Sea of Crete. The area is very green and fertile, unusual for rocky Crete. The Kiliaris river, known in antiquity as Pyknos, runs through the region. Robert Pashley suggested that the name Apokoronas came from the ancient city of Ippokoronas or Ippokoronion, also cited by Strabo. This city may have been located near modern Nippos, or on the site of the Venetian fortress, Castel Apicorono, on an outcrop between Kalyves and Almyrida.

The major towns of Apokoronas are Vamos, Armenoi and Vryses, with police, municipal and utility offices as well as taverns and large churches; Kalyves, Almyrida and Georgioupoli are the largest beach resorts. Tourism and agriculture are the major local industries, with much construction and quarrying to satisfy the demands of many foreigners eager to buy or rent properties in what used to be beautiful and traditional villages.

Gavalohori is among the more popular villages for foreign buyers, with a large amount of often low-quality building taking place. Many residents or workers in Chania also have homes in the area. Apokoronas was the location of much of the filming of the movie Zorba the Greek.

AFTER SALES CARE

Once you’ve bought your property many estate agencies would leave everything else up to you. There could be long periods of time when you are unsure of what’s happening and then once you’ve moved in you have to find your own way around an unfamiliar place. However at PURPLE, buying your property is only the beginning of your relationship with us. We aim to stay in constant contact with you at each stage; you will receive a level of personal service that is second to none. Most of our team are expats who have bought properties in Crete & Cyprus and can therefore use their personal experiences to efficiently assist you with your purchase. From your first contact with Purple you’ll be assigned to a specific sales consultant. One whom we feel is appropriate for your needs. Many members of PURPLE speak excellent English and Greek, as well as French, Italian and Spanish so language will never be an issue. Your Sales Consultant will always be on hand to help with any problems, answering your questions, and providing you with anything you may request, for example:

• Opening a Greek bank account or setting up a Greek Mortgage
• Liaising with property developers, throughout the construction period if the purchase is off plan
• Getting quotes for any additional works that you’ve asked for from trusted suppliers
• Guidance with property rental opportunities

Once your property is ready you consultant will be on hand to:

• Assist in organising insurance, utilities, furniture and schools if you need them
