FRANGIA
EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL
(Based on the information given in Background)
Location
A plot of 21.201m2 with planning permission for 4.240 m2 situated
on a flat-topped ridge overlooking the Outer Mani coastline between
Kardamyli and Stoupa. Accessible only by the road made for that purpose.
-
The isolated location ensures privacy and peace
and quiet.
-
The elevated location ensures that the all-round
vistas of sea, coastline and mountains remain unspoiled – they
cannot be obscured by future developments.
-
The site is most appropriate for a sensitive
development that blends in architecturally with the environment
and the traditional architecture of the region rather than assaults
the landscape.
-
The location demands a tourist facility built
to high standards of quality and design.
-
Proximity of the site to all the facilities and
beaches of the resort towns, the Mani peninsula and sites of
the Peloponnese offers a wide freedom of choice to Frangia residents.
-
The success of a very small up-market (for the
region) hotel in Gerolimenas in the south of Mani has proved
that, given an improvement in quality, city-dwelling Greeks on
high incomes are willing to travel further afield for their relaxation
and are willing to pay for the privilege. Frangia is a far superior
location.
Future Trends
-
There is a growing demand for high standards
and quality and these will attract the upper echelon of tourists
with higher disposable incomes and spending power both from abroad
and from within Greece.
-
The on-going development at Pylos will increase
tourism in Messinia and impact on the Mani region.
-
Cultural and Eco Tourism are the two fastest
growing areas of the tourist industry in Western Europe and further
afield and the Mani offers easy access to both.
-
It is inevitable that Kalamata airport traffic
will increase with the Pylos development and operate throughout
the year – not only with charter flights but with scheduled
services both internal from Athens and external.
There are two options for developing Frangia
A 1st Class Tourist Development
A Private Development
