Greece’s warm Mediterranean climate, desirable lifestyle, and cosmopolitan cities, coupled with the country’s strong industries, have led many wealthy individuals and families to make this country their second home. According to data from the Bank of Greece, 1.975 billion euros flowed into the local realty market from abroad in 2022. That was 68% higher than in 2021, when the corresponding amount had not exceeded €1.17 billion. At the same time, the performance of 2022 surpassed by 37% the previous record set in 2019.
Real Estate prices and the cost of living are amongst the lowest in the EU. Tourism in Greece has been rising steadily, providing investors with an opportunity to turn property purchases into stable, long-term rental income, while complying with Golden Visa residential lease frameworks.
