Large building plot (8142 m2), nicely positioned in the north-western outskirts of the tourist town of Agios Nikolaos, Crete. Due to its elevated position (about 200m above sea level) it enjoys amazing, unobstructed panoramic views of the sea (Mirabello Bay), the islands of Agii Pantes, the town, the mountains and breathtaking moon- and sunrises. It has the planning permission (allowance) for a large villa or villas of up to 281 m2, built on one or two floors, plus basement. Plenty of space would be left to make a swimming pool(s), terraces, pergolas, parking space, garden areas, etc. The land has road access and services (electricity, water, telephone and broadband internet lines) are available right opposite of it. The town of Agios Nikolaos and the nearest organized sandy beach are only about a 7-minute drive away. About a 45-minute 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.
