Description

A unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional villa project in the highly desirable area of Kalathas on the Akrotiri Peninsula, one of Chania's most sought-after residential and investment locations.

Situated on a generous 4,300m² private plot, this property is offered with an existing reinforced concrete structure, a valid building licence, and approved plans for a stunning contemporary villa of approximately 200m². The project presents the perfect opportunity for a private buyer, investor, or developer to create a luxury residence while avoiding the lengthy planning and licensing process associated with a new build.

The proposed design showcases modern Mediterranean architecture, combining clean contemporary lines with expansive outdoor living areas and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Large floor-to-ceiling openings maximise natural light while taking advantage of the surrounding landscape and views across the Akrotiri Peninsula.

The approved plans include a spacious three-bedroom villa arranged over two levels, featuring open-plan living and dining areas, a modern kitchen, multiple bathrooms, extensive terraces, a private swimming pool, outdoor entertainment areas, covered parking, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

One of the key advantages of this project is the flexibility it offers. The existing building licence and approved architectural plans provide a substantial head start, while allowing a future owner the opportunity to modify and personalise the design to suit their own requirements, subject to the necessary approvals.

Prime Kalathas Location

Kalathas is one of the most desirable areas of the Akrotiri Peninsula, known for its beautiful sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and luxury residential properties. The area offers a peaceful environment while remaining conveniently close to all amenities.

The property enjoys easy access to Kalathas Beach, local tavernas, supermarkets, and everyday services. Chania International Airport is only a short drive away, while the nearby villages of Chorafakia and Kounoupidiana provide additional shops, restaurants, schools, and services. Chania city centre and the Venetian Harbour can be reached within approximately 15 minutes.

With large development plots becoming increasingly scarce in the area, opportunities of this scale and quality are rarely available.

Whether you are seeking to create a spectacular private residence or develop a luxury villa for the premium holiday rental market, this project offers a rare combination of location, scale, flexibility, and future potential in one of Chania's strongest property markets.

About CostAnita Villas, Kalyves

Kalyves Centre Kalyves Chania, Crete 73003 Greece

Costanita Villas is a family business run and owned by local businessman Kosta Krasaki and his Australian wife Anita.

As Kosta is a local guy, growing up in Chania, Gavalochori and Almyrida he has extensive knowledge of the local area and a good idea of property opportunities that are available.

Kosta started out working in hospitality for his family business. At the age of 10 years old he began working as a labourer for a local builder to pass the winter months until the Taverna reopened. He realised early on that general maintenance was an ongoing part of hospitality and decided to take on the responsibility himself. He learned the skills of general maintenance and was doing all kinds of repairs with either wood, metal or plumbing. He has been in and out of the building industry ever since.

Kosta’s first major project was building the family home in Almyrida. The following project was 2 luxury villas in Gavalochori and then on to another traditional villa in Gavalochori which was completely renovated and sub divided into 2 separate dwellings.

Kosta’s experience in the building trade grew after meeting Anita. Every winter they travel back to Australia were Kosta works as a carpenter/builder increasing his level of skill. Whether it be building Villas in Crete or luxury homes in Australia, Kosta is always ready to take on a new project.

Anita grew up outside of Sydney, Australia and has been in the hospitality trade for many years. Starting out as a Pizza Chef way back when she was 14yrs old she has now worked in 3 different countries running busy Wine Bars, Cafs, Pubs Hotels and Tavernas.

Anita and her mother Janelle had 2 very successful country Hotels in Kent, U.K for a period of 10yrs. Both had B+B facilities, one hotel with 8 letting rooms and the other with 18 letting rooms. It was Anita’s involvement in the maintenance, renovating and decorating aspect of this side of the business that started Anita thinking about the property industry.

And so Costanita Villas was created.
