I just created an overlay with the plan of suburbia and "our" plakias map... It fits with some existing roads. If I did not very wrong there seems to be an empty space between the Ghetto and the old town. A place for the new Grecotel?!

May the Meltemi blow it all awy...

It looks a heck of a lot smaller than I envisaged, at least Antoni's looks safe!

I can't guarantee that the size is absolut correct, as there is only one road that fits 100% with an existing track and a few that  seem to connect with others in a logical way. I think the empty space will be the gulf area or the 5star-hotel mentioned before ... Maybe Mr. Al-Jaizani will tell us if I'm right or wrong?! Don't want to minimize your project!

Maybe like this?....

I thought it was nearer the far end than that.

It must start in the field next to and across the road from the Peligremnos. That land has been up for sale for some time, so that's my guess!

Can Santa or Ali give us worried regulars any information about what is going on?

Sounds like people surfing the web are finding out as much as us.  But a couple of points

1.  The tektonas development is outside Lefkoyia, like the Gasparakis people they are just advertising within Plakias.
2.  With this big new development I think it is in partnership with Grecotel.  All the way throught their bumpf they mention a hotel chain.
3.  I'm puzzled over how this big development is 90% of planning permission granted for Plakias as all the fields around where we live (up lane behind Palegremnos) has been cleared and marked out by surveryors.  So either the map is wrong or the planning permission percentage is a load of.......

Apart from above I'm afraid we're in the dark at the moment, maybe once we stop working and getting out socialising we may find out more.

Thanks Ali, when I spoke to the guy on the phone he did mention that they were part of the same group as Grecotel.

So George you are a potential buyer are you?
Que sera sera!  

george g...
We certainly won't be buying. When Plakias Panorama was first advertised it seemed like a convenient way to get a place in Plakias but now that they're being built, the apartments look far to close to each other so we're glad we resisted the temptation. The location of this development  is very good but if, eventually, there's going to be over 400 of them, it will be very cramped. If it changes the character of Plakias and the Far End, then we'd probably be wanting a quieter resort like Souda or Amoudi
As I've said, let's wait for phase two, that's if phase one ever materialises.

I still think this is a marketing ploy to see if there's any interest.

george g...

Yes we have just returned from Plakias & it certainly sounds like these apartments are going to be built which is such a shame. There was a real estate sign on the building to the left of Antoni's place but I didn't think it was the same as the website above. If they do go ahead they will be very exposed so close to the sea & can imagine when the Plakias wind starts!! The Airport thing is interesting according to Greece magazine this month there is a new airport opening in 2010 but in Kastelli which is near Heraklion apparently.

I read that too - about Herak and Sitia - at some time early in the year before we went off to Makrigialos (think I spelt that wrong) in May

In the December (?) 2007 edition of A Place in the Sun there is an item about Plakias which also mentions that a development is planned to the east of the village.

A delivery of soil pipes was made to the site and I thought, "Here we go!"

Then three days later,to my surprise they were all removed again. Georgia at Paligremnos doesn't think anything will happen for at least 5 years,if at all!

Thanks for some up to date info, Mandie. I, and many others on this forum, will hope Georgia is right.

I have found this web-site, sorry, but only in German.

http://www.unserkreta.de/dasat/index.php?c...7&sid=dasat

I am not sure about the exact position. Can anybody help?
