YOUR HOST IN CRETE
Kalimera, I'm Axel
Crete is much more than just a holiday destination for me.
I have lived on the island since 1993. After my time in hotel management, I founded my own real estate and construction company in 1996 and have been renting out my own holiday homes in Crete for many years.
What is particularly important to me:
I want you to not just rent a beautiful house, but to really get to know Crete - with all the little insider tips that aren't in every guidebook.
I look forward to seeing you!
