Land Plot for Sale

3 adjacent building plots, located in Chavgas, an elevated area above the pretty fishing village of Plaka, where several luxury villas have already been built because of the excellent panoramic views offered at this location. The plots lie right next to a group of luxury villas, overlooking the Elounda Bay and the historical island of Spinalonga. There is good road access and all services (electricity, water, telephone, broadband internet) are on site. Each of the plots is 376 m2 in size and has the planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to a total of 240 sq. meters on one or two floors, plus basement and attic. So the total building capacity of all three plots is 720 m2 (plus basement). The closest village from this area is a wonderful seaside village called Plaka. Plaka is about 1km from here. Plaka has a few tavernas, cafeterias and shops. There is also a large pebble beach and a small harbor from which boats leave and go across to Spinalonga island. The elite tourist town/resort of Elounda is less than a 10-minute drive from here. And the capital of the area Agios Nikolaos is about a 20-minute drive away. The international airport of Heraklion is about an hour’s drive from here. Elounda was a small fishing town on the Mirabello Bay, on the island of Crete. Although fishing is still a large part of life in this very picturesque area, tourism has taken over as the main industry of Elounda. It is part of the municipality Agios Nikolaos. It is popular with European tourists and has many hotels including several 5*hotels. Elounda is also the closest town to the famous historic site of Spinalonga. Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the county Lasithi and is located at the Mirabello Bay, north-east Crete, only 40 mins away from the international airport of Heraklion. Geographically the town is well protected from strong winds allowing sea sports and swimming nearly all year round. Although Agios Nikolaos has a population of less than 20,000 it has several banks, supermarkets, shops of every kind, doctors, a modern hospital of high standard, public swimming pool and tennis courts, yacht marina, harbour, cinema, theatre, gyms, a 9-hole golf course, schools ranging from nurseries to 6-level high school and generally all the amenities you would expect to find in a modern European town. The microclimate is one of the best in Greece and the moderate temperatures rarely exceed 30c in summer or fall below 15c in wintertime. This wonderful dry climate together with the natural beauty of the area has attracted most of the high class hotels of Greece to operate here.
