The remaining area of the land can be used to make open & covered verandas and terraces, parking space, garden areas, tennis course, heli-pad, etc. The land has road access (dirt road) and electricity is about 60m away and easy to connect to. Other services, such as water, telephone, internet, are a few hundred meters away. An additional small plot of 362 m2 on the opposite side of the road is included in the sale but not buildable. The tourist town of Elounda and its nice organized sandy beach is about an 8-minute drive from the land. The province capital, Agios Nikolaos, is a 20 minute drive away. Only about a 50-minute drive from the international airport of Heraklion. 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. The town is a 10 minute drive to Agios Nikolaos and the village of Plaka (Lasithi). 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.
