Agios Nikolaos, Crete 72100

Building plot, nicely positioned in the area of Vathi, south of the town of Agios Nikolaos, Crete, only 370m away (on a straight line) from the sea. It is 2135 m2 in size and has the planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to 200 m2, built on either one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Enough space would be left to make swimming pool(s), terraces, pergolas, parking space, garden, etc. Due to the land's inclination, the house(s) built here would enjoy unobstructed sea views, views of the hill, the mountains and lovely moon- and sunrises. The plot has good asphalt road access and electricity, water and phone / internet lines are right next to it, ready to connect once a building license has been issued. Several wonderful organized sandy beaches are only a short drive (2-3 minutes) from the land. Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the prefecture of Lasithi, is about a 5-minute drive away. The international airport of Heraklion is about 45 minutes by car from here. 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.
