Building plot near Agios Nikolaos, Elounda

Building plot of 478 m2, nicely positioned inside the small village of Ellinika, on the hills between the famous, high-class tourist towns of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, enjoying nice views of the sea and the mountains.

It has the planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to 240 m2 on one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Enough space would be left to make swimming pool(s), terraces, pergolas, parking space, garden, etc.

The plot has road access and all services (electricity, water supply, telephone & broadband internet) are right on the spot.

Only about a 6-minute drive to both towns, Agios Nikolaos in the south and Elounda in the north.
The nearest organized beach in only about a 4-minute drive (on the way to Agios Nikolaos).

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.

Elounta 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. The town is a 10 minute drive to Agios Nikolaos and the village of Plaka (Lasithi).
