Northern Crete, Greece, Jasmine Harman

Heather and John love Greece and have fallen in love with one particular region – Northern Crete. They want a bolt hole with character so they can escape the UK for months at a time. They’ve given Jasmine Harman £150,000 to find their dream home from home, but will anything impress?

Even in the height of summer, as it is an island there is a lovely cooling breeze.
