Buyer's guide: Greece
Property for sale in Greece covers 6,472 listings on RealEstateAbroad, from Athens apartments to island plots and Halkidiki holiday homes, at a median asking price of €275,000. Interest from overseas buyers has grown with the Golden Visa and strong tourism, but prices vary a lot by island and region. Here is what you need to know before you buy.
Greece property market snapshot
These numbers come from current listings on RealEstateAbroad and are asking prices. The middle half of priced listings sits between €132,000 and €600,000.
Greece is unusual in having more listings for land than for any other type (2,637 of 6,447), so the headline median includes many plots. For homes alone, look at the apartment and house pages below. Price per m² is available for just over half of the listings, so treat it as indicative.
| Indicator | Current listings |
|---|---|
| Median asking price | €275,000 |
| Typical range (25th to 75th percentile) | €132,000 to €600,000 |

Where to buy in Greece

- Athens (€420,000 median) and wider Attica (€425,000) are the largest market: city flats, coastal suburbs and the Athens Riviera.
- Thessaloniki (€205,000) is the second city and a lower-cost alternative with a university population.
- Crete (€320,000) is the biggest island market, with villas, plots and flats near Chania, Rethymno and Heraklion.
- Corfu (€192,000) attracts European buyers, with traditional stone houses and sea-view villas.
- Halkidiki is represented by Chalkidiki, Kassandra and Sithonia, with beach apartments and holiday homes at moderate prices.
- The Olympic Coast has the lowest median in our top list (€125,000), alongside Kavala, Thassos and the Peloponnese.
- Euboea island and Loutraki are within weekend reach of Athens.

How foreigners buy property in Greece
EU citizens can buy freely. Non-EU citizens can also buy, with one important caveat: in designated border areas, including parts of northern Greece and many islands, the buyer needs prior approval from the relevant authorities. A local lawyer will tell you whether your property falls in that zone.
- Get a Greek tax number (AFM) and open a Greek bank account.
- Appoint a lawyer to carry out due diligence on title, planning permits, debts and the cadastre (land registry) entry.
- Sign a preliminary agreement and pay a deposit, typically 10%.
- Complete at a notary, where the sale deed is signed and tax is paid.
- Register the deed at the land registry or cadastre office.
Title problems on older property and incomplete building permits are the main risk. Make sure the property is registered in the national cadastre and that all structures are legal.
Costs and taxes
Figures are approximate and should be checked with your lawyer.
| Cost | Typical amount |
|---|---|
| Property transfer tax | Approx. 3.09% of the taxable value, paid by the buyer |
| VAT on new-build | 24% (often suspended or replaced by the transfer tax on some purchases) |
| Notary fees | Approx. 1% to 2% plus VAT |
| Land registry or cadastre fees | Approx. 0.5% to 0.7% |
| Lawyer | Approx. 1% to 2% plus VAT |
| Estate agent | Approx. 2% plus VAT |
| Annual property tax (ENFIA) | Based on size, location and age; a supplementary tax applies to high-value holdings |
| Rental income tax | Progressive rates, starting around 15% |
Golden Visa and residency
Greece's Golden Visa grants residence to non-EU buyers who invest in real estate. Thresholds depend on location: higher in the most in-demand areas (such as Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos and Santorini) and lower elsewhere, with a reduced threshold for converting commercial buildings or restoring listed ones. The rules have tightened in the last two years, and there are restrictions on using golden-visa properties for short-term rental, so check the current threshold and conditions with a Greek lawyer before choosing a property. Our Greece buying guide explains how to find independent advice.
Financing
Greek banks are cautious with non-residents. Many foreign buyers pay cash or borrow against another property. Where a loan is offered, expect lower loan-to-value ratios, around 50% to 70%, a requirement for proof of income, and euro-denominated rates. Use our mortgage calculator to model costs and see the Greece financing guide.
Pros and cons
Advantages
- Strong holiday and rental demand, with an international airport network.
- Prices on many islands and mainland coasts are still lower than in Italy, Spain or France.
- The Golden Visa, for those who meet the threshold.
- A mild climate and relatively low cost of living.
Drawbacks
- Border-zone approvals for non-EU buyers.
- Bureaucracy, and legacy title and planning problems on older properties.
- Limited mortgage availability for non-residents.
- Seasonal rental income on many islands.
In Greece the diligence matters more than the discount: a cheap plot or village house is only a bargain once the title, the permit and the cadastre entry are all clean.

Buying property in Greece: FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Greece?
Yes. EU citizens buy freely. Non-EU citizens can buy too, but need approval in designated border areas such as parts of northern Greece and many islands.
How much does property cost in Greece?
The median asking price on current listings is €275,000, with half of priced listings between €132,000 and €600,000. Athens, Attica and the Peloponnese sit above that median; the Olympic Coast and Corfu sit below it.
What taxes are payable when buying in Greece?
Buyers typically pay a transfer tax of about 3.09% on resales, plus notary, lawyer and registry fees. New-builds may carry 24% VAT. Confirm which applies to the property you are looking at.
Does Greece still have a Golden Visa?
Yes, but thresholds depend on location and have risen in popular areas. Check current figures and conditions, including limits on short-term rental, with a Greek lawyer.
Can non-residents get a mortgage in Greece?
Sometimes. Greek banks lend to non-residents on a limited basis, usually up to about 50% to 70% of the value. Many foreign buyers use cash or equity from another property.
What should I check before buying land in Greece?
Verify the title in the cadastre, building rights and zoning, road access, utilities and any forest or archaeological restrictions. Never pay a deposit before a lawyer reviews the documents.
