Antonia Visits Crete
Antonia traveled from Thessaloniki to Crete to sign purchase 7 deeds for Villas of the Marathi Project (a luxury villa complex) in Chania and another for a beach-front house in Plakias. While Elxis also has an office in Crete, the legal team is based in Thessaloniki and travels all over Greece to sign contracts for clients - especially those who live far away and do not have an easy way to travel to Greece. Antonia remembers with enthusiasm her favorite parts of the trip: “What I enjoyed most was walking by the marina of Chania. I also found the most beautiful bookstore (Μικρό Καράβι) in Chania.” Located in the northwest of Crete, Chania is an unforgettable experience. It is Crete’s second largest city and has always been one of the most popular destinations in Greece. Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbour, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Take a late afternoon walk along the lighthouse and you will see one of the most gorgeous sunsets ever.
Kostas Visits Galaxidi
Kostas, as one of Elxis’s most tenured legal experts, has worked with clients from all over Greece (and all over Europe!). In March, Kostas took a short trip to Galaxidi, a hidden gem in Central Greece, to complete a contract signing on behalf of a client. The town of Galaxidi was separate from the Greek mainland until 1950 and is found at the southern tip of the Greek mainland. Galaxidi was historically a shipping hub and is known for its Nautical and Historical Museum. Galaxidi is a great place for a weekend break because of its neoclassical houses, captain’s mansions, charming ports, and quaint alleys. Kostas describes his time in Galaxidi as an enjoyable experience: “During my stay there I had the opportunity to walk in the picturesque harbour, to taste fresh fish, and to have a drink a calm view of the water. My walk through the narrow streets highlighted the amazing old houses in the village, most of which are exceptionally well-preserved.” In his contact with the local population, Kostas was informed that “the months of July and August are usually the ones that attract a large number of tourists,” in contrast to the tranquility that he experienced while there.
