Property Description
It enjoys nice, uninterrupted views of the sea, the village, the surrounding countryside and the mountains.
The land is 4531 sq. meters in size and has the planning permission for a house of 196 sq. meters, on one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Enough of space would be left for constructing a swimming pool, open or covered terraces, pergolas, garden, parking space, etc.
Services like electricity, water supply and phone lines with high speed internet are nearby and would be easy to connect to.
The land has direct access to an agricultural road that leads down to the village of Elounda (800 meters away).
The nearest beach, the nice organized sandy beach of Elounda, is only a 10-minute walk away.
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 major town to the former leper colony of Spinalonga.
Elounda offers all amenities you would expect to find in a modern high-class tourist resort, including many excellent restaurants, bars, cafeterias, supermarkets and many shops.
The town is a 10 minute drive to Agios Nikolaos and 5 minutes to the village of Plaka (Lasithi).
It's a 55 minutes drive to the international airport of Heraklion.
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.
