The plot itself is elevated and enjoys a commanding position, ensuring beautiful, unobstructed views towards the White Mountains. Its topography is one of its strongest assets, allowing intelligent design that blends with nature while maximizing views, privacy, and architectural character.
In terms of access and orientation, the property sits directly on a provincial road with an impressive 50-meter frontage on the front side, while on the western boundary it also borders the road leading to Litsarda.
This dual road exposure significantly enhances accessibility, visibility, and overall value. Water and electricity are immediately adjacent to the plot, allowing for straightforward and cost-effective development.
Location is where this property truly completes its profile. It is just 5 kilometers from the beach of Georgioupolis, one of the most touristic and well-known coastal areas of the region, offering long sandy beaches, tavernas, and full amenities. At the same time, the setting provides exactly what discerning buyers seek today: nature, tranquility, and genuine privacy, combined with easy access to the surrounding villages of Apokoronas and their local life.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a generously sized, buildable plot in a strategic yet peaceful location, with views, accessibility, and development potential that allow you to create something truly special—whether as a private retreat or a high-quality investment in one of Crete’s most desirable regions.
Land for sale in Apokoronas. Location Information:
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 yogurt.
This means added usable space, architectural flexibility, enhanced privacy, and superior thermal efficiency—ideal for a refined private residence or a distinctive investment villa designed around the landscape.
