Plots with Building Permits for Sale in Stylos, Chania

Conceived for the premium hospitality market, the development lends itself naturally to a boutique retreat, collection of luxury holiday residences or experiential tourism concept, combining contemporary comfort with architectural elements inspired by the Cretan landscape.

With permits already in place, the project offers investors the advantage of moving directly towards construction rather than beginning with an undeveloped concept.

Its location is fundamental to its appeal. Stylos retains the atmosphere of an authentic Cretan village, characterised by lush vegetation, natural springs and a traditional village environment away from mass tourism.

Nearby Ancient Aptera and Diktamos Gorge add cultural and nature-based experiences that complement a boutique hospitality concept and strengthen the destinations appeal beyond the conventional beach holiday.

At the same time, the development remains remarkably well connected. Kyani Beach is approximately 6.7 km away and Kalyves Beach 7.7 km, while Souda Port is approximately 13 km away.

Chania and its Venetian Harbour are within convenient driving distance, and Chania International Airport is approximately 27 km from the property.

This balance between accessibility and seclusion gives the project a particularly strong position for international guests seeking the quieter, more authentic side of Crete without becoming isolated from the coast and Chania.

The four plots may be approached as one integrated hospitality destination, creating a cohesive boutique retreat across almost 19,100 sq.m., while there is also flexibility to consider individual plot acquisition. The existing plans provide a clear development framework while allowing the investment strategy to be structured according to the buyers objectives.

This is not simply land for sale in Chania. It is an opportunity to create a hospitality destination rooted in the landscape and identity of Crete: low-density, private, close to the sea and positioned for travellers who value authenticity, nature and a more personal form of luxury.

For developers and international investors seeking a ready-to-develop tourism investment in Crete, the combination of almost 19,100 sq.m. of land, approved building rights, eight planned accommodation units and a strategic location between Chania’s countryside and coastline makes this a particularly compelling proposition.

The district of Apokoronas in the north-eastern corner of the Chania prefecture and at the foot of the White Mountains is one of the greenest regions of Crete and contains some interesting sights, such as Lake Kournas, the island’s only freshwater lake, picturesque villages and small beach resorts.

Aptera
The ruins of ancient Aptera are located on a hill above the bay of Souda. Founded in the 7th century BC, Aptera was one of the largest city states in Crete and was continuously inhabited until an earthquake destroyed it in the 7th century AD.
A monastery was established there in the 12th century.

Most of this very large site has not been excavated yet but you can see impressive Roman cistern, a Greek temple, various other buildings and massive defensive walls. At the north-western end there is a Turkish fortress with superb views of Souda bay.

The archaeological site of Aptera is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8 am to 2.30 pm and entrance is free.

Kalyves, Almyrida and Plaka
Located on the coast in the Souda bay, Kalyves is a large village with a nice sandy beach and has been attracting more and more tourists in the last few years.

Most of it is fairly low key and you still get the sense that you are in a Cretan village.

A little further to the east, Almyrida has seen a number of tourist developments as well. Its sandy beach with shallow waters make it a good destinations for families with small children but it can easily get quite crowded. Above Almyrida, the small village of Plaka offers stunning views of the Souda bay and the White Mountains.

Georgioupolis and Lake Kournas
Georgioupolis, at the eastern end of the district of Apokoronas, used to be a sleepy little fishing village but its long (9 km) sandy beach has seen a massive development in hotels.

Lake Kournas is located 3 km inland from Georgioupolis at the foot of the mountain and is the only freshwater lake in the whole of Crete. This makes it a popular “exotic” weekend destination for the Cretans.

The landscape in Kournas, especially if you pick a grey day, is reminiscent of a mountain lake in the Alps and you loose the sense of being on Crete. Unusual!

Vamos
Vamos is the capital of the district. In 1995 a group of villagers started a project to preserve the traditional way of life of Vamos. With funds from the European Union, they started a project to showcase the crafts and products of the region and restored old stone buildings using traditional materials and crafts and turned them into guest houses.

Vrysses
Vrysses (or Vrisses) is a new village dating back to 1925. It is located on the road which links the north coast with Sfakia. There is not much to do in Vrysses but the river that flows through its centre make it a nice place to escape the summer heat, in the shade of the giant plane trees. Vrysses is also famous for its excellent yoghurt.
