Investment potential

Crete is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. It boasts an extended season, beginning in early-mid April and extending well into the first half of November. It is served by two major international airports, one in Chania and the other in Heraklion, and two major passenger ports, again in Chania and Heraklion.

This eco-tourism villa has been successfully operating as a holiday stay unit, with the highest rating on social media and Google. It is licensed by the Greek National Tourism Organisation (GNTO). Its location and versatility, its large pool and tranquil environment, and its established reputation render it ideal for tourist operations.

Location - Distances

The greater vicinity of Chania is famous for its exotic places, cultural landmarks (especially in the Old Town) and Cretan cuisine. Here, you’ll discover a variety of natural landmarks to visit, including the White Mountains, the captivating Samaria Gorge, and many charming coastal and mountain villages.

The village of Agia is 9 km south of Chania and adjacent to the artificial freshwater homonymous lake. The lake used to be operated for electricity generation, but this activity has been discontinued, although the installation has survived and is visitable. The lake has become a wetland habitat, home to many local and migratory species of birds, as well as other fauna and flora. Indeed, it is now protected by international treaties for the environment.
