Methoni, Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece

This unique seaside property offers a rare opportunity to build your dream residence or develop a small-scale tourist resort in one of the most privileged locations in the Peloponnese, the historic Methoni. Situated just 65 metres from the beautiful sandy beach of "Kritiká" and boasting panoramic, unobstructed views across the Ionian Sea towards the island of Sapientza and the historic Venetian castle of Methoni, this plot combines natural beauty with excellent infrastructure and strong investment potential.

Methoni is a charming coastal town in the southwest Peloponnese, with a history dating back to ancient times. Mentioned by Homer as "Pedasus," it later flourished under Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman rule. Its most famous landmark is the impressive 13th-century Venetian Castle, one of the largest in Greece, overlooking the Ionian Sea. With its rich past and well-preserved architecture, Methoni offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

The land covers a total area of 6,717 m², ranging in elevation from 7 to 18 metres above sea level. The terrain is partly gently sloping and partly flat, offering flexibility for a variety of architectural designs depending on your vision and requirements. Electricity, water, and sewerage connection to the Methoni treatment plant are already in place, while the plot is easily accessible from both a local and a district road.

An approved building permit allows for up to 264.32 m² of residential space, valid until 31 December 2025. After this date, a new permit can be obtained for 254.36 m² of construction, in line with the latest legal framework. The same figures apply for tourist use, with the potential to construct five to six independent apartments, making the property ideal for a boutique-style accommodation resort with direct road access and proximity to the beach.

The surrounding area is rich in history and natural beauty. The nearby "Petalas" beach, just 80 meters from the property, reveals traces of a Bronze Age settlement, while the crystal-clear waters around Sapientza Island offer unique opportunities for snorkeling among ancient underwater ruins. A short boat ride brings you to the exotic white-sand "Caribbean-style" beach of Ammos, a hidden gem in the Ionian Sea. Within walking distance, you'll find a stylish beach bar offering refreshments and sun loungers, as well as several charming seaside tavernas. The center of Methoni, with its harbor, main square, restaurants, cafés, and essential shops, is just 1.3 km away, while the prestigious Navarino Bay and Navarino Hills golf courses can be reached in 15 to 20 minutes by car.

Whether for private use or a commercial venture, this property offers a combination of strategic location, natural charm, and ready-to-build potential-making it a truly exceptional investment.
