Excellent Villa Development Opportunity With Pool And Building Licence In Kalathas

Located in Kalathas, in the Akrotiri region, a wonderful area northeast of Chania, this excellent villa development opportunity with pool and building licence offers a rare opportunity to create a luxury residence in one of Chania’s most desirable locations.

Set on a private 4,300m² plot, the property includes an existing reinforced concrete structure, a valid building licence, and approved plans for a contemporary 200m² villa with a private swimming pool. This allows a buyer to bypass the lengthy planning process while retaining the flexibility to personalise the design, subject to the necessary approvals.

The approved plans feature a stylish three-bedroom villa arranged over two levels, with spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, multiple bathrooms, extensive terraces, covered pergolas, a private pool, outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, landscaped gardens, and covered parking for four vehicles. Designed with modern Mediterranean architecture, the villa maximises natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living through expansive floor-to-ceiling openings.

The generous plot provides excellent privacy and ample space for outdoor recreation, landscaping, and future enhancements, making it equally suitable as a private residence or a high-end holiday rental investment.

Ideally located close to Kalathas Beach, local amenities, and the villages of Chorafakia and Kounoupidiana, the property is just a short drive from Chania International Airport and approximately 15 minutes from Chania city center and the Venetian Harbour.
With large development plots becoming increasingly scarce in the area, this is a unique opportunity to complete and customise a luxury villa project with significant lifestyle and investment potential.

Kalathas, on the peninsula of Akrotiri, is not really a village but a fairly new, quiet settlement, right next to a mesmerizing sandy beach with the same name. Kalathas has seen a lot of building activity in recent years as more and more Cretans are moving out of town and into this idyllic, quiet part of the region. The wonderful area of Akrotiri provides a serene environment with all the amenities within reach, and the city center of Chania is just a quick drive away. Wonderful beaches with clear waters can be found nearby, and you can also have fast access to Chania Airport and Souda Port. Chania is one of the most beautiful cities in Crete, with its architecture reflecting the diverse cultures and civilizations that lived on the island, such as the Venetians, Turks, and Egyptians. The old town and harbor are the heart of the city, with narrow alleys and surrounded by Venetian mansions and Turkish houses, villas and palazzos, mosques, small churches, and a beautiful, restored synagogue. This central part of Chania is attracting visitors from all over the world. Full of wonderful houses, parks, and squares, Chania is one of the best places to live in Crete. All modern shops and amenities are within a 10-minute walk from the Venetian harbor, as is the sandy beach of Nea Chora.
