The Property – 12,000 m² Seaside Plot Located in Pyrgos Psilonerou, just 800 meters from the sea, this 12,000 m² plot is ideal for camping, glamping, eco-tourism, or other nature-integrated projects. The area combines rare natural beauty with historical and ecological significance, just 16 km west of Chania. ⸻ ️ Strategic Location • Pyrgos Psilonerou is a tranquil seaside settlement between Gerani and Maleme. Its name means “Tower of High Water,” due to the area’s famous wells. • Historical significance: The site appears in Venetian archives (as “Pirgo Phironero”, 1563 & 1645), with traces of ancient towers and relics found on site. • Ecological importance: The beach is a protected nesting site for the endangered Caretta caretta sea turtle. Quiet nights can offer a unique opportunity to observe nesting activity. ⸻ ️ Tourism & Infrastructure Beach bars & water sports nearby • A wide selection of beach bars in Platanias and Agia Marina, including “Ammos & Ilios”, “Kosta Kosta”, “Cabana Mare”, and “Mojito Beach Bar” offer cocktails, loungers, beach volleyball and water sports. • Nearby Loutraki also features luxurious seaside bars with diving platforms, grass seating, and Mediterranean cuisine. Taverns & restaurants • Traditional tavernas can be found in nearby villages and along the coastline. Reddit and tourist reviews praise local favorites like Emilia Tavern in Zourva and Xylouri in Chania’s old harbor. Hotels & accommodations • A range of high-quality hotels nearby, including Kiani Beach Resort in Kalives (5 stars), and boutique options like Chania Flair Hotel in the city. • Many tourist rentals in Maleme, Gerani, and Platanias. Markets & shops • Supermarkets, mini markets and camping supply stores are easily accessible in Maleme and Platanias. ⸻ ‍♂️ Activities & Experiences • Camping: The area is known for quiet, semi-wild camping that blends into the landscape. • Water sports: Opportunities for windsurfing, SUP, snorkeling, jet-skiing, and diving are widely available. • Nature walks & eco-trails: Gentle hikes to nearby villages and springs make this a haven for nature lovers. ⸻ Why This Plot Stands Out 1. Cultural and environmental value – a rare blend of archaeological heritage and ecological preservation. 2. Established tourism ecosystem – everything from beach life to traditional cuisine is just minutes away. 3. Investment potential – ideal for an eco-camping resort or low-impact sustainable tourism venture. 4. Prime location – close to the city of Chania, yet immersed in nature.
