Agios Nikolaos, Greece
REF: 878444
€1,200,000
Description
Seaside building plot of 6400 m2, nicely positioned on the slope of the coastal hills north-east of Plaka, Elounda, only 90 meters from the sea. Due to its sloping position, the plot enjoys unobstructed panoramic views of the sea, the famous Isle of Spinalonga, the mountains and breathtaking moon- and sunrises. It has the planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to 248 m2, on one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Architectural planning has already been done and a building pre-approval has been issued for a beautiful 2-storey luxury villa of 242 m2 with a swimming pool of 55 m2 & jacuzzi. Electricity, water and phone lines with broadband internet are available on the spot. The plot has easy access to the road that leads to the coastal village of Plaka. The village and the nice pebble beach of Plaka are only about 2 km away (3-minute drive). The elite tourist resort Elounda is approx. 7 km away. The province capital Agios Nikolaos is a 20 minutes drive from here. About an hour's drive from the international airport of Heraklion. Plaka is an old fishing village which is now a popular tourist destination. Opposite Plaka is the historical isle of Spinalonga with its old Venetian fortress. There are many restaurants and shops in the coastal village. The white pebbly beach has crystal clear waters and is considered the best in the Elounda area. 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).

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Greece will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £37,368 more.
