Data confidence and methodology

Public listing

Last checked at the source

1 November 2026

Price per m² is this record's asking price divided by the 126 m² of floor area the source published, rounded to the euro. It is a calculation about one listing, not a rate for the locality, which is published separately below where the locality has enough records to support one. The price comparison uses the 8 published house listings in this village that carry an asking price, this one among them.

Drive times are a routing engine's estimate on the mapped road network, with no traffic and no season in them, and they are not a timetable: ferry sailings and flight schedules are not published here. Full methodology.

How these are worded

Each one is the source's own tag, restated in a fixed IsleScout wording so that two listings from different agencies can be read side by side. A tag we have no wording for is left out rather than repeated as the source wrote it.

What this comparison rests on

The median is €3,275 per m², across the 8 Xirosterni records that carry both an asking price and a floor area, which includes this one. Land is left out: the price per square metre of a plot is a different quantity. Both figures are asking prices as published, and neither is adjusted for condition, position, plot or age, so a rate below the median means a cheaper asking price per square metre and nothing more. A locality with fewer than 8 such records gets no median. The same medians, for every locality that has one, are on the Crete overview.

What this comparison can and cannot tell you

The median uses every published, real house listing with a positive asking price in this village. Delisted and duplicate records are excluded. IsleScout does not check whether a listing is still available. Where at least 20 comparable listings exist, the bar leaves off the cheapest 5% and the dearest 5%, so a single outlier cannot squash it; the full range is stated under it. A lower price is not evidence of a better buy.

How the terrain and the drive times are measured

Elevation and slope: EU-DEM 25 m (Copernicus), read 9 August 2026. A 25 m grid describes the hillside, never the plot: it does not know about a terrace cut into the slope or a retaining wall. Slope is the gradient across a 30 m ring and is called level below 5%, gentle below 10%, moderate below 20%, and steep above it.

Ground to the shore is a straight sight line from here to the nearest coastline over that same grid. It says whether the land falls the whole way, which is what a sea view needs and nowhere near all it needs. It is not a view from a window, and no window, tree, or neighbouring building is in it.

Drive times: routing on the OpenStreetMap road network, licensed ODbL, read 9 August 2026. The routing engine's own estimate on the mapped road network, with no traffic, no season, and no queue at the port in it, rounded to five minutes. Ferry sailings and flight schedules are not published here.

How these figures are measured

the national broadband map (XEMD), Ministry of Digital Governance, read 20 August 2026. A band is the fastest download providers say they can supply: not a measured speed, and not a promise that an order will be accepted at one house. Fixed and mobile are two separate readings, so an area can hold one and not the other.

Fibre is counted as reaching a village when the registry lists an address it can connect within 400 m of this position. It says fibre reached the village, never this building, and an order still has to be accepted. Satellite covers all of Greece at satellite prices and is not in this reading.

How these distances are measured

OpenStreetMap data, read 9 August 2026, licensed ODbL. The everyday kinds are walking routes on the mapped footpath and road network, rounded to five minutes, and each row says so. A path nobody has mapped is a path the router cannot use, so a walk errs long rather than short, and it describes a route rather than a pavement: it says nothing about lighting, traffic, or whether anybody would want to walk it. It is a flat-ground pace, because the router does not read the gradient: on a slope it describes the way down and the way back is the longer half, and the elevation beside the coast row is what that walk climbs. The coast and the remaining access rows are straight lines and say that instead. The drive times above are routed separately and say so. Walking routes: Valhalla on the OpenStreetMap footpath network, read 17 August 2026, licensed ODbL. The nearest of each kind is given at any distance, so a property with nothing walkable still says how far away it is; the count beside it is only of what falls within 2 km. Coverage varies by area, so a place that is not listed is one that is not recorded in OpenStreetMap, which is not the same as one that is not there. A bus stop is a location, not a timetable. The hospital row is the one with an emergency department, not every building tagged as a hospital: village surgeries are counted under doctors and clinics. The ferry port means a port with scheduled vehicle sailings, not every landing tagged as a ferry terminal: a small boat to a nearby islet is not a way off the island and is left out. The main town is the island's own, which here is Chania.

Where these questions come from

The subjects come from this record's own empty fields. The phrasing is generated, and it can assume a detail the listing has not stated, so treat these as prompts for the source rather than as facts about the property.
