Agios Nikolaos, Greece
REF: 901678
€555,000
Description
Building plot of 4256 m2, nicely positioned only 200m from the organized sandy beach of "Ammoudara", less than a 5-minute drive from the town of Agios Nikolaos, Crete. From its elevated position on the slope of a hill, the plot enjoys views of the sea, the beach below and the mountains. It has the planning permission (allowance) for individual houses / villas of up to a total of 800 m2, built on either one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Plenty of area would be left to make swimming pool(s), terraces, pergolas, parking space, garden, etc. It is possible to get a tourist development license for this plot in which case a hotel or holiday apartment complex of up to 1846 m2 can be built. The plot has easy road access and electricity, water and phone lines with broadband internet are present. The organized sandy beach of Ammoudara is only an easy 3-minute walk from the plot. There are several nice restaurants and cafeterias in Ammoudara. Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the prefecture of Lasithi, is about a 3-minute drive away. The international airport of Heraklion is about 45 minutes by car from here. 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.

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 £19,730 more.
