A new condos development in the South Crete called Eftyhia Apartments and to be delivered end of 2026 has just come to the market.

Eftyhia (pronounced Eftykhia and in English phonetics /ˌɛftiˈhiːə/ – Ευτυχία in Greek) translates as ‘’good fortune’’ and has the meaning of the state of bliss, of blissfulness to wish or possess or as invocation towards or achievement of it. Lovely name for a Mediterranean home and place, aiming – and quite capable – of delivering just that. It is a Cretan place. You have arrived to the place of bliss!!!

Eftyhia Apartments is a new complex development of eight attached apartments, built in the coastal village of Plakias, in the south of Crete. Combining contemporary architecture, privacy, and luxurious communal areas, this building project is within 10-minutes’ walking distance of the Plakias beach and all its local amenities.

Plakias village is deeply rooted in the Cretan rich culture, its warm hospitality and the Cretan vibrant traditions, brewed during a history of hospitality and culture of over 4,000 years of civilisation. Cretans are viewed, even amongst Greeks, as the most fortunate of all, not only because of Crete’s sunny and warm, almost all year around, climate, its summer heat tempered by breezes from the sea, but also because for the renowned quality of the traditional local cuisine, based on fresh Mediterranean local produce.

Eftyhia Apartments’ complex is situated by the country road, connecting Rethymnon to Plakias, with direct walking or car access to the village, just 250 metres’ walk away, as well as, to the beautiful, 2 kl long community sandy beach of Plakias. Plakias is one of a cluster of quaint hill villages, itself a serene but quietly lively fishing village, now becoming a well-sought sea-kissed resort, located in the south of Rethymnon county (prefecture), facing the Mediterranean. Numerous tavernas, restaurants and cafés invite you to relax and socialise. Many leisure activities, such as water sports, boat tours, even horse riding and much more are easily accessed and within walking distance.

This complex is being built on high-quality construction and equipment & appliances standards and it is competitively priced, offering super value for money, making it ideal for both private holiday residences and outstanding investment opportunities. With its prime location within walking distance to the beach and all village amenities, the Eftyhia Apartments promise a perfect combination of comfort, convenience and value.

The Eftyhia Apartments have been designed with an eye to detail, ensuring every comfort is met. Each apartment is delivered turn – key and fully furnished, complete with all appliances, its custom-made furniture and its earthy tones generating a serene and natural ambiance, with all communal areas featuring solar lighting. The apartments are designed to provide a tranquil living environment, offering a relaxing and wellness enriching experience.

Renting your new Home In The Sun, just for a few months each year, as an AirBnB type rental, just for a few months each year – Crete having a 10-month full tourism season – you would be able to repay your mortgage effortlessly while your property gains value every year passing.

Mortgage of up to 65% of the value of this property,  at 2.4% per annum, on a typical duration, is available for non-Greek nationals and non-Greek residents, applicants to any of the systemic e ECB (European Central Bank) EuroSystem Greek banks. THALATTA.homes would be happy to introduce you to – Bank of Greece (ECB EuroSystem) – licenced Mortgage Brokers and facilitate your application, at no charge, as part of our standard service.

In Greece, it is common, unfortunate, practice that estate agents would attempt to receive commissions from both the seller and the buyer, something that most people and certainly TTUK, would consider a serious conflict of interest. Some may even often suggest that you use the same lawyer as the seller (‘’to save money and time’’) and (even worst) to use the same Notary Public. TTUK, a UK company and its UK-bread directors act and will act exclusively as Buyer’s Agents, i.e. would be looking after the interests of their clients – in this instance, the buyers.

All you would have to do, as it is your legal right, is to inform a seller’s agent, that you intent to engage a buyer’s agent and that your agent (TTUK, if you would so decide), would contact them to handle the process on your behalf. Alternatively, you could ask us to perform this task – and we would oblige readily. Most estate agents, would accept it and agree. A refusal would betray bad faith, in most people’s opinion.

Plakias is a fishing village, serving the community of some 8 quaint villages, perched up the hill, Plakias itself lying at the end of the new road running by a wonderful gorge, just a 40 minutes’ easy and pleasant drive, connecting Rethymnon Town to the south side of the Prefecture of Rethymnon.

Driving along this road by the gorge and its thyme and lavender perfumed air, you cannot fail to be struck by the beauty and the promise of the never ending sea horizon, at the bottom of the gorge. Plakias itself offers all the wining and dining and holiday resort amenities one needs and pretty standard in Crete and in Greece.

Just a short lazy walk away from the Eftyhia Plakias Apartments complex and the beach in front of it, lie the rest of Plakias, with its Cretan tavernas in full glory, its cafés, its bars, its ice-cream vendors  and its Cretan super street-food nearby.

Rethymnon, the capital city of the prefecture of the same name, is an absolute charm! The old Venetian fortified port-town  of Rethymnon, with its quaint stone-laid narrow streets and its well preserved Venetian 15^th century architecture, is a bustling early Renaissance town, offering diverse dining options and a unforgettable opportunity to promenade in a past gone long ago, but still, never ceasing to entice. Explore its historic streets and immerse yourself in its rich cultural heritage, stopping anywhere to enjoy your – never to forget – candle-lit  dinner or drink. You will love it. Everybody does!
