Luxury villa with renovation potential and pool in Plaka, Apokoronas, Crete

Discover this exclusive luxury project in Plaka, Apokoronas – a unique property that not only impresses with its generous living space of 390 m² on an impressive 1164 m² plot, but also offers great potential for individual expansion and modernisation thanks to an existing building permit.

The existing two-storey house with a floor area of 194 m² is spread over the ground and upper floors and has six spacious bedrooms and six modern bathrooms, ideal for large families or multi-generational living. The bright, open-plan layout creates a welcoming atmosphere, which is further enhanced by high-quality fittings such as air conditioning, central heating, aluminium windows with double glazing and an efficient heat pump.

A highlight of the property is the 26 m² private pool, which will be enlarged to a spacious 54 m² pool after the planned extension – perfect for relaxing hours and social occasions. The outdoor area is complemented by a lovingly maintained garden with olive trees, a garden shed and a specially designed children's area, demonstrating exceptional family friendliness.

The comprehensive renovation and extension, for which a valid building permit has already been obtained, also includes the construction of a new detached pool house with an additional 113 m² of living space and a practical storage room. This means that the property can be used flexibly as a spacious private residence, a prestigious holiday home or a high-yield investment property with holiday rentals.

The location in an idyllic village centre, combined with the soothing sounds of nature and a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood, makes this property a valuable retreat. At the same time, it opens up a wide range of possibilities for realising your own tailor-made living dreams and creating a modern design. Benefit from sustainable energy concepts, such as solar water heating, and ensure first-class security for your new home with the existing alarm system and electronic gate.

The property is located in Plaka, a charming village in the idyllic Apokoronas region on the north-west coast of Crete. Plaka captivates with its historic village centre featuring an inviting village square lined with traditional taverns and a church that lend the village its authentic flair.

Within walking distance, you will find shops for your daily needs, cafés and restaurants serving local specialities such as fresh fish, Cretan olive oil and other Mediterranean delicacies. The proximity to the white sandy beaches of Almyrida (approx. 2 km away) and the beaches of Kalyves invite you to spend relaxing days by the sea – ideal for water sports, walks or sunbathing.

For nature lovers, the surrounding countryside offers fantastic hiking opportunities and varied cycling routes along the coast and through the hilly surroundings. The region is rich in cultural attractions and historical sites that convey the typical Cretan way of life.

Healthcare is provided by an easily accessible hospital in Chania, about 35 kilometres away, as well as Chania International Airport and the ferry port, which provide fast connections to other countries and to the island. With its mix of traditional village character and modern amenities, Plaka offers an excellent living environment in Crete.
