How these figures are calculated
The position marker on each card compares that asking price with the median for its own property type: house €370,000 (134), land €95,000 (51). A type with fewer than 8 records compares with €288,500, the median across every type together.
Price per m² on a card is an IsleScout calculation, that record's asking price divided by the floor or land area recorded for it, never a rate for the locality.
Distance to the coast is a straight line to the nearest shoreline, not a walk. The drive time is to the island's own main town, Heraklion, and is a routing engine's estimate on the mapped road network, with no traffic and no season in it, rounded to five minutes. Both are measured from the record's mapped position, or from its village centre where the position is only approximate, which the card says.
This set is filtered to records where the ground falls all the way to the shore, measured as a sight line over the EU-DEM 25 metre elevation grid. That is what a sea view needs and nowhere near all it needs: the grid describes the hillside, so it cannot see a tree, a neighbouring building, or which way a window faces, and it is not a view from a window. A record no measurement pass has reached is left out rather than counted either way.
From 201 listings from Crete Island Real Estate, collected 9 August 2026. 43 of them carry no locality, so they count in these figures but have no map position and no page of their own. Asking prices only, not sale prices, and not adjusted for size, condition or location.
The median asking price in Kalyves is €2,370 per m² of floor area, across the 8 records here that state both an asking price and a floor area. Land is left out: the rate for a plot is a different quantity. The same medians, for every locality that has one, are on the Crete overview.
