For Sale or Development: three adjacent plots

Total area: 12,218 sqm

Each plot is eligible for the construction of 186 sqm of primary space. Including auxiliary space you can construct one big house of around 300 sqm or a choice of up to four semi-detached houses of about 75 sqm each. Actual size depends also on the type of building licence you will issue.

Each plot is sold separately. 

The plots for sale/development are on the main road connecting the port & Ioulis (Chora) with Vroskopos. Its is a 15min drive from the port Korissia, a distance of 6km. From the plot to Ioulis the distance is 8km and takes 15 min to get there (the road is better). To reach Vroskopos you need about 9 min to cover the 4km distance. The closest beach is Kalamitsi 2.8km away. Currently you will need an SUV to get to Kalamitsi.

The plot is, actually, three adjacent plots. They are located on the west side of the main road, i.e. have the road on the back. The view is to the West. Actually, the view is more than 180 degrees wide ranging from North to South. Visible to the West is the Attica Peninsula, to the North the south tip of Evoia and to the South the southeast of the Peloponnese including Hydra Island which is not distinguishable from the mainland at that distance.

For reference on the development evolving in the area, note that Vroskopos bay, 4km down the road, developed into a luxury holiday resort by One&Only Resorts. It is opening in April 2024 with prices per night for 2 adults ranging from €1,750 for a 75sqm villa facing inland to €2,300 per night for a villa with panoramic views of the sea. That is low season. High season prices range from €2,500 to €3,300 per night, respectively. More expensive options are available. The One&Only project includes 75 private homes. Prices start from €1.5 million.

The island: Location, History, Opportunity

Kea island, also known as Tzia, is the northern island of the Cyclades complex. It is the closest to Athens. The ferry takes 1 hour to cross the 17 nautical miles from the port of Lavrio to Kea’s port Korissia. Lavrio port is located at the southwest of Attica peninsula. The distance from Lavrio to the Athens International Airport is 37km, a 20 min car ride. The distance from Lavrio to Athens center is 60km, a 50 min car ride.

Kea has the shape of an egg. The long north-south side is about 19km, and the short east-west side is about 9km. There is a ring road that will take you around the island in about 2 hours.

Kea has been inhabited since at least the bronze age. The remains of the Agia Eirini settlement date from around 1600BC. On the southeast side of the island is Karthaia, an archeological site which used to be one of the four city-states of the Cyclades from the 8th to the 6th century BC. That is from the Geometric period to Late antiquity. Archeological findings are found in several locations across the island. The most notable one is the Lion of Ioulis (or Liontas), which was carved some time prior to 600 BC. Ioulis has a small but very interesting Archaeological museum.

Kea has 63 beaches, some of which have club facilities, most are reachable by car or jeep, and some you can only visit on foot or from the sea. The main villages are the capital Ioulis (Chora), a settlement in the center of the island hidden from the sea for fear of pirates, the port Korissia, the bay of Vourkari where most sailing boats anchor, and a few more communities scattered around the island.

The island has become a destination for scuba diving. A scuba diving team is present on the island almost throughout the year. In the summer they offer opportunities to visit the steamship Patris which sank in 1868 at a depth of 28 meters. Off the high season, they organize visits for professional divers to explore the sister ship of the Titanic, the HMHS Britannic lying at a depth of 122m. Several other wrecks lay in the area.
