ARENCORES MAGAZINE Issue |No. 8

This issue of ARENCORES Magazine comes at a time of significant economic and societal disruption because of the pandemic crisis. Much has been written about how Covid-19 will reshape travel, tourism and retail in the island of Crete. Less has been said about what it will mean for the local real estate market. How the uncertainties associated with the pandemic will epitomize the excess that may lead to a deeper recession? How the local and foreign investors think about of what is still to come – namely a long period of falling property prices? At the moment, the extent to which this health crisis will affect the real estate market is unknown.

The significantly large drop in bookings and

decline of interest for properties and new

commercial and residential projects are just

two parameters behind the current crisis, the

other and most crucial being the ongoing uncertainty.

The plunge is putting Crete’s tourism industry, real estate

investments and construction activity at risk. Moreover, the

health and safety risks of COVID-19 vary from project to project

and to comply with the new health and safety precautions

requires sinergistic relations with medical, scientific and government

guidelines to provide a safe working environment.
