These guys are Norwegians  You have been kind enough not to metion it, but I am still ashamed on behalf of the whole nation  

Tom      

I don't think anyone will hold that against you Tom!

No!! let's blame Tom anyway      

Yes, blame me. BLAME ME. (I'm on a guilt trip)

No I think it will be the one in the middle of the plain - very large indeed and definitely unfinished. It is not on any beach road - unless I've got my sense of perspective wromh (maybe ??)

i still can't think where this place is

Over the years I have gotten so used to the modern ruins dotting the landscap that I hardly notice them anymore. I would not have clue about which house you are trying to find.   On a clear day last summer I did notice, with pleasure, that a few houses that were left unfinished all throu the 80s and 90s had been completed and now was occupied by local families. There is still hope. Lets ask Hermes to contain kretaeindom and their like.

Hi Once again, sorry about previous post pressed the wrong button!!!

    I have bought a villa in the new development in Plakias,I thought they were great value and has everything I need.I've been to Plakias once on a short visit and thought it was a beautiful place.I know that the building of this development will detract from this very beauty, but they were going to build this site if I bought or not.I would prefer that they left it unspoilt, but it is their land to do what they want with.One of the reasons I bought there is this very website,I could see all the posive comments and feelings for the place that it did make a major contribution to my decision.

The agent says they start the build in 08 06 and should be finished late 07 or early 08 and he says it is mosty Norweigians and British who are buying.I looked at the developers website and there is only 3 of the 56 still to be sold,and when I spoke to him he said it was amazing how quickly they have gone.Going back to Plakais in October,cant wait

I've been inactive in this forum for umpteen months now but still been a regular visitor to P - last october and this easter (greek easter) were the last times

I'm trying to place where this development is - one of our sons is over there at the mo and tells me that there is a big project at the end of the lane our land is on - thats just as you come in to P from Lefkogia there are two lanes at the left by some wooden signs (for Phaedra etc) - one lane goes down to the beach the other one goes past the new school and our land and on to damnoni - anyway my son reckons theres a development at that corner on the main road - is that the one thats being referred to here?

Our planning permission came through a couple of months ago - we suffered quite a few delays because we eventually decided to go for EOT approval and umpteen things had to be changed (including putting a ramp down to the swimming pool - hmm - had to agree it but not sure about that one) - so excavations and building are imminent - only about a year late. I wonder how these developers manage to get the plans through so fast (i may just have an idea)

all the news about the development has me a bit jittery now though. I suppose if it all goes akladi-shaped and the ravaging hordes move in we could always sell and move on - hope we havent left it too late to enjoy

[Ali & Dave]

Paleo,

Dave and I have spent ages trying to suss out from the internet and where the advertising board is as to where the development is going to be.  As far as we can work out it will be on the right hand side of the road as you come into Plakias starting at the junction you are referring to and going down the hill.  Not sure what is going to happen to the two houses that are situation there!!

I see that 40% of the Plakias Panorama places have been bought by Norwegians. The full breakdown of ownership by nationality is at http://www.kretaeiendom.no/index.php?artic...on=article&

According to the website, that means so far that 21.6 apartments have been purchased/reserved by Norwegians, 11.88 apartments for Danes and Brits and so on...with 0.54 of an apartment sold to a person of Saudi Arabian nationality!

Maybe the percentage values have been rounded down instead of being rounded to the nearest percent

No, that doesn't work.
1 apartment = 1.85%, rounded down to 1%
2 apartments = 3.7%, rounded down to 3%
So how do you explain Sweden's 2%?

I guess they could be calculating it on land area or some apartments could have shared ownership or maybe maths just isn't their strong point.

Hi, all,

Trust me to make my first post here in a contentious thread

One detail that seems to have been overlooked here is "the infrastructure" - there has been some info about the new roads inside the development but what (if anything) has been done about water and drainage services

Past experience elsewhere in Greece makes me believe that the new-build will just be tacked onto the existing systems.  Bad news for everyone - water pressure will drop and sewage will overload - I've seen it happen.

A development of the indicated size will need its own, dedicated wet-services.

If Santa is around and reads this, it's another item to put on the list for the mayor.

OK here's the first pics of them, they aren't where i thought they were going to be built. the location is on the right of the road as you are going down into town, about 500m from the myrthios junction





here you can see the building site from the sea front, taken from just in front of antonis place

Going by the last pic Chris, it looks like the site is right where the sign was, on the right hand side of the road going down the hill from the Oasis.
Did you put in a reservation?

Dam' right ... those things look like rabbit hutches built to a plan for a chicken-battery
