A rare opportunity to purchase land on the island of Dokos, which is practically uninhabited...
The land has no planning permission, but could be used for camping...
There are olive trees and the oil can be collected.
This plot would suit someone looking for a place to really get away from it all, get back to nature and enjoy the serenity of this pretty little island.
The land is flat, about 140 m from the sea, and great for camping...
Dokos is a small islet in the Saronic Gulf, situated between Hydra and Ermioni on the Peloponnese.
The island is mountainous and rocky, with a maximum altitude of 308 meters. It is a barren island with scarce water sources. There are some 50 permanent residents occupied in stockbreeding and fishing, but it receives many visitors, mainly by charter yacht as there are no passenger services to the island.
One family run a small taverna during the summer months, offering simple food to visitors.
According to the archaeological finds, the island seems to have been populated as early as the late 5th millenium BC. (Late Neolithic period), but it flourished a bit later, during the Early Helladic period in the 3rd millennium BC, thanks to the rapid development of navigation.
The ruins of a Byzantine castle can be seen on the island.
During the Greek Revolution of 1821 the fleet of Hydra used the islet as a safe port for winter.
In the 1970s the remains of an ancient cargo ship were found off the coast of Dokos, and this has since been confirmed as the oldest shipwreck yet found in the world, dating back to between 2700 and 2200 BC.
