Getting started
Set up TALOS for your use
What's the difference between traveler and local?
On first visit, TALOS asks whether you browse mainly as a traveler (staying in Crete) or a local (living there). Featured listings adapt to this context. You can change this setting anytime from your account.
Do I need an account to browse listings?
No, browsing and search are available without an account. However, an account is required to post a listing, contact a seller, save favorites or complete your public profile.
Which categories are available?
TALOS covers transport, housing, services and the local market. Each category groups listings useful for daily life or a stay in Crete.
Search & filters
Find the right listing in the right place
How do I search near a city?
In the header search bar, click the location (default "All Crete"), choose a city and a radius in kilometres. Submit your search or let the filter apply on the current page.
How do I use "Near me"?
Open the location selector in the search bar, then click "Near me". Your browser will ask for permission to access your location. Once granted, listings will be filtered around your current position.
What are advanced filters for?
On search, category pages and home (with an active location), you can filter by listing type, offer or wanted, price range and sort (date, price, distance). Filters are kept in the URL so you can share or revisit your search.
How do I view listings on a map?
On results pages, switch to the "Map" tab. Listings are shown at approximate locations to protect privacy. Zoom in to see clusters and click a pin to open the listing.
Listings
Post, edit and manage your offers
How do I post a listing?
Sign in, open "Post a listing", choose a category then fill in the title, description, transaction type, price, city and at least one photo. Check the preview before publishing.
How do I edit or remove a listing?
From your account area, access your live listings. You can edit content, photos or remove a listing that's no longer available. An edit link is also available on your published listings.
Why isn't my listing showing?
Check that it's published, that category and city are set, and that the target audience matches your browsing profile. An active location or price filter may also hide it in some results.
Messaging
Chat with other members
How do I contact a seller?
Open the listing you're interested in and start a conversation using the dedicated button. You'll find all your exchanges in messaging.
Can I share my location in a message?
Yes. Messaging lets you send a deliberately blurred location to arrange a meeting without revealing an exact address.
How do I view a seller's profile?
From a listing page, open the member's public profile to see visible information (photo, city, other listings).

Privacy & security
Your data and location
Why isn't the exact address visible?
To protect members, TALOS shows an approximate area on maps and listing pages. The exact address is not shown publicly to other users.
How do I report abusive content or behaviour?
If a listing or conversation seems fraudulent, inappropriate or dangerous, contact us with a link to the relevant page. We'll review the report as soon as possible.
