Buying property in Greece: what you need to know

Greece has emerged as one of the most dynamic property markets in Europe, driven by post-crisis recovery, the Golden Visa program, and surging tourism demand. Property prices, while rising rapidly, remain 20-40% below comparable markets in Spain and Portugal, creating a compelling value proposition for international buyers.

The Greek Golden Visa, requiring a minimum property investment of €250,000 in most regions (€800,000 in high-demand areas like Athens and popular islands), grants residency to non-EU buyers. The buying process requires an AFM (tax number), a Greek bank account, and typically involves a notary and lawyer. Transfer tax is 3.09% of the declared property value.

PropTren monitors price movements across 9 Greek regions, from the premium Cyclades and recovering Athens market to value opportunities in the Peloponnese and Northern Greece, helping buyers time their entry and choose the right region for their goals.
