Agios Nikolaos, Crete 72100

Building plot of 766 m2, positioned in the western outskirts of the cosmopolitan tourist town of Agios Nikolaos (capital of the prefecture of Lasithi, Crete). It has planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to 102 m2, built on one or two floors, plus basement. Enough space would be left to make swimming pool(s), open or covered terraces, pergolas, parking space, garden, etc. The land is flat and easy to build on. It has good road access and services (electricity, water, telephone and internet lines) are very close and easy to connect to, once a building license has been issued. The plot is only a 4-minute drive to the nearest organized sandy beach ("Almiros Beach") and to the nearest supermarkets of the town. 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.
