Costa Nopia, the standout project by Leptos Group, is now set to become reality as work begins on the island of Crete. Approval from the Council of State and the official notice published in the Government Gazette on June 25, 2025, mean Costa Nopia has moved past the planning phase into the construction phase. This marks a significant step for one of Greece’s largest tourism developments, which first joined the country’s Strategic Investment program in 2019.
Cretan Sun & Sea Developments SA, a subsidiary of the Cypriot Leptos Group, is advancing the project. Designed to put Crete in the spotlight for quality travel, Costa Nopia will stretch over 1,130 acres along 1.4 kilometers of beachfront in northwestern Crete’s Gulf of Kissamos. The master plan includes up to 207,000 square meters of buildable area.
