The property is located approximately 2 km south of Fokia beach in the northern part of the island of Gavdos. It is a well-shaped plot of land, which has been classified entirely as agricultural by the forestry department and allows you to use it immediately for any purpose. A rural road reaches the point, which becomes rough for approximately 1 km but has a good width and remains passable all year round by a tall car. On the adjacent property there is a neighboring residence, however the public utilities are at a distance. Therefore, the plot is ideal for the construction of an energy efficient holiday home or a small tourist complex. The views from all points are excellent towards the wild landscape of the island, to the sea but also north towards Crete. The ground is mainly rocky and there are cypresses and cedars, which can be removed according to the needs of any construction.

Within 2 km from the plot you will find 2-3 taverns with good food and a well-stocked mini market. From there also starts the path to the beach of Ai Giannis, one of the most popular on the island. The port is about 10 minutes’ drive from the property. Gavdos, the southernmost tip of Europe, is a place of rare natural beauty and special geographical importance.
