The law in Crete will require you to use an architect if you are going to be involved in the construction of the roofs and walls as it now has to conform to strict building standards. The maximum build size would be 400m² and then only if the land is within the ‘village boundary’. Outside the boundary 200m² would be the limit for a private residence. Crete Connections would be happy to find some land for you and put you in touch with the appropriate professional bodies.
