The ownership regime in Mani does not allow the existence of many large properties for the development of hotel industry.
Concisely, a plot of at least 4000 m2 is necessary for the erection of a hotel.
For plots up to 50000m2 the structure may cover 20% of the plot's surface.
For plots up to 100000m2 after the 20% of the 50000m2 of the plot's surface is constructed( according to previous rule), at the rest of the plot, a structure may be erected that covers the 15 % of its surface.
For plots larger than 100000m2 after the first 100000m2 are built as stated before, at the rest of the surface a structure that covers the 10% may be erected.
Another demand is the road that must give access to the plot. This road must have been acknowledged by the authorities, must be of common use, accessible, with a minimum width of 5.50 m ( private roads are not allowed).
On a plot, more than one building is allowed to be erected.
Special interest is shown at the area for the construction of small tourist units with detached furnished houses according the E.O.T. (Greek Organization of Tourism) legislation. A summary of the most important E.O.T. regulations follows, such as to help you choose a plot, if you have an interest for such an investment.
