Much has been written about how to be a great host Much has been written about how to be a great host… but what about being a great guest—especially when you're staying more than just a couple of days?
Being a guest comes with responsibilities, whether you're close family or a distant acquaintance. Hosting loved ones is fun—but let’s be honest, it can also be exhausting.
Having lived abroad for years and currently being an AirBnB host,  I've had my fair share of houseguests. This guide is a mix of what we've learned firsthand—and what many of our friends abroad have also experienced.

If you haven’t heard of Balos Lagoon, you’re m If you haven’t heard of Balos Lagoon, you’re missing a gem from your Greek travel list!

The Guardian hailed Balos as one of Europe’s finest beaches in 2019, and Tripadvisor ranked it the world’s 7th best beach.

Balos Lagoon on Crete Island is renowned for its stunning turquoise waters and white-pinkish sand, making it an unmissable, dreamy destination.

You can reach Balos by car or boat, with excursion boats available from the town of Kissamos.

For those arriving by car who enjoy hiking, a visit to Gramvousa is recommended. Gramvousa consists of two islands located off the northwestern coast of Crete.

Imeri Gramvousa, the ‘tame’ island, features a Venetian fort at its summit, perfect for explorers with sturdy footwear and a camera.

Agria Gramvousa, the ‘wild’ island, is  accessible  by private boat. While Gramvousa is rich in plant life, its beach provides shade, making it a preferred spot for swimming over Balos. Known as the ‘island of pirates,’ Gramvousa greets visitors with a symbolic pirate flag upon arrival.

"This is a noble tree, beautiful and desperate. It "This is a noble tree, beautiful and desperate. It grows soaked in ancient pain that deforms it, distorts it with impressive curves. To see a restless and crazy gallery of sculptures, it is enough to go to an olive grove."
⠀
Mauro Corona "Voices of the Forest"
⠀
 
⠀
✅Olive wood is moisture-resistant, does not absorb odors and is easily polished with a drop of olive oil. Bottle coasters, cutting boards or pendants - each item handmade from olive wood is unique.
⠀
✅There is another part of the olive tree, less popular, but which gives an even greater effect on health: the olive leaf. It contains an abundance of a compound that is considered very effective in medicine.
⠀
✅What about olive pomace? For many years, pomace was considered waste. Surprisingly, it turned out that olive pomace is an excellent generator of electricity. Olive pomace does not just burn; it burns well. In addition, olive pomace also has a greater thermal power than diesel. Olive pomace can also be the energy of the future. Now they make briquettes from pomace and sell it as fuel for fireplaces and stoves.
⠀
✅Olives (by the way, both black and green are olives. Olives are the fruits of the same tree, but of different degrees of ripeness. Olives are unripe green, olives are ripe black)
⠀
✅ And of course, oil!
⠀
The very first question is how to choose.
I will not write what has been written 500 times on the Internet. I will say that in Crete, all the oil is gorgeous!
⠀
The best in the world, no doubt!

⠀
Who has tried Cretan oil?
⠀
A large Cretan family uses up to 250 liters of olive oil per year!

And how do you use olive oil? Just for salads? Or for everything?

There are 2 palm beaches on Crete.
⠀
🌴 VAI is located in the very east of Crete. I'm not a fan of this place, but if you are on holiday relatively close, then combine the day with a visit to the Toplou Monastery. Walk from VAI along the path and you will find yourself on the beautiful beach of Psili Ammos.
⠀
🌴🌴🌴
⠀
Today, I will tell you in detail about the palm beach PREVELI
⠀
I would not advise going for just one thing on any route. There is always a lot of interesting things along the way. And there is always a delicious tavern of Cretan cuisine.
⠀
I don't like Preveli as a place to swim either
⠀
But! I like to walk along the river and the palm forest. Very beautiful photos from above and in the forest itself. A completely different feeling of the island.
⠀
How can I visit PREVELI?
⠀
🌴From the eastern part of Crete there is a group excursion RETHYMNO-PREVELI (50th)
⠀
🌴From Rethymno there are group excursions and also a city bus that goes to the Preveli monastery. You go down 400 steps.
⠀
🌴By car, along the route - the south of Crete. I make a beautiful route and you can choose how best to see the beach
⠀
🌴On an individual excursion we can visit what we want and when we want 😉🥰
⠀⠀
🌴You can sail by boat from Damnoni and Plakias. Convenient and plus a walk along the sea. The cost is 9 euros one way.
You can see the schedule on the website: lbferries.gr
⠀
🌴If you choose Preveli beach Parking on the map, then you leave your car in the parking lot and go down 400 steps.
⠀
🌴Or you can choose Drymiskiano Beach and you will need to walk about 10 minutes to the beach and only 100 steps. True, the road to this beach is a small serpentine and is not for those who do not feel confident on narrow roads.
⠀It is on this beach that I would swim after the walk.

The Beginning Phases of the House Build Can you b The Beginning Phases of the House Build

Can you believe it?! We have a plot and we start our dream holiday house-cretan Sun construction with the Cretan construction company CRETA DOM !!!! This didn’t happen overnight… I’ve just been bad about blogging all that has been happening at the land! You see, we’ve been SNAPPING  the visits to the home site and  updates in my blog .................. SO much going on!!!

Embarking on the construction of your holiday house is an exciting venture that promises a space for relaxation and cherished memories.

⠀ Agriculture and livestock farming are in first ⠀
Agriculture and livestock farming are in first place.
Believe it or not, a huge part of the island's population lives and doesn't know about tourism. For them, it's more of a curiosity than a common occurrence.
Imagine, Crete has half of the greenhouses in all of Greece.
⠀Crete supplies vegetables and fruits to other islands of Greece, the mainland, Germany, France and other countries. 

most if the island's land is olive trees🌿

Do you know how many olives there are in Crete? Let’s discover together 

Oranges, lemons, tangerines and avocado 
They harvest twice a year. In December and in April.
It turns out that even those who work in tourism, at the end of the season, are engaged in olive harvesting.
⠀
Almost every Cretan family has their own plots with olive or citrus trees. And you can combine both tourism and agriculture.
⠀I often give an example on excursions that when a bartender in a hotel tells you about his salary of 900€ and about earning only 5 months, then ask him what is the main source of income in their family.
⠀And if you continue the conversation with him, it turns out that a bartender is a job to have insurance and a pension, not to hang around in the summer and have money to walk beautiful tourists

And a family business is olives or citrus plantations

And also animal farm. In the summer, most cheese dairies are closed, since the sheep are pregnant and there is no milk. And there, work begins in the fall.
⠀
What else do those who work in tourism for half a year do?
⠀

And you? Could you work seasonally?

Thailand is better than Crete for investment Inve Thailand is better than Crete for investment

Investors are increasingly choosing Thailand over Crete. Why?

1 More income: In Thailand, rental yields are up to 14% per annum. Crete, Greece does not provide such figures due to seasonal tourism.

2 Tourists all year round: There is no “low season” in Thailand. The flow of vacationers does not stop.

3 Cheaper entry: Minimum investment OT $70,000. In Crete, Greece, prices are higher and taxes are higher.

4 Easier to arrange: Buying real estate in Thailand takes a minimum of time.

Thailand is a stable income, lower costs and

no seasonal risks.

BUT!!! It is very beneficial and an attractive proposition for retirees in Greece; you just ay flat 7% tax from your global income.

How do I know if I’m eligibility for the Greek 7% Tax on foreign income retirement scheme?
You need to meet specific criteria for this tax regime including:

Not having been a tax resident in Greece for five out of the previous six years before the year you will move your tax residency to Greece.
Transfering your tax residency to Greece from a country that Greece has a tax cooperating agreement with. 

Greece has other tax schemes which also apply and are advantageous including:

0% on capital gains tax. This helps ensure the profits on any sales are not subject to taxation. This is important particularly for shares in businesses and also shares on the stock market.
A low dividend tax rate of 5%. This is useful for investing your savings as this is a particularly low rate to pay on dividends.

If you are not in Crete for the first time... ⠀ If you are not in Crete for the first time...
⠀
There are many amazing places in Crete, where there are no group tours and which can surprise you even if you have been here a few times.
⠀
Loutro Bay, Marmara Beach are some of those places where you will definitely like.
⠀
For those who arrived for the first time, I think it’s better to start with other sights.
⠀
Although, if you don’t like to come back to the same place and like to collect “cream” at once, then Lutro is also for you.
⠀
But!
⠀
If you start exploring Crete, chances are you’ll fall in love so much that you’ll have to come back:)
⠀
We even have a saying “It’s dangerous to fly to Crete and fall in love, you will have to return every year”
⠀
Lutro and the southern beaches are accessible only by the sea. You can get to the village of Hora Sfakion and then choose how you spend your time.
⠀
1. You can rent a taxi boat for the whole day
⠀
2. You can sail on a taxi boat as scheduled.
⠀
3.there is scheduled ferry service 
⠀
4.You can stay overnight 
⠀
5. You can rent an accommodation in Hora Sfakion and spend a couple of days in the south.
⠀
⠀
Our guests book a guided tour of southern Crete and this tour includes a boat visit to the two beaches Lutro and Marmara.
⠀
Novelty of this season - fishing with swimming. The captain prepares ear on the boat and Cretan snacks, you are sailing in the turquoise bays of the Libyan Sea. 100% on the go!
⠀
Any questions and details can be found out by writing me in direct.
⠀
We know Crete better than the Cretans themselves:)
