Olympic Coast Real Estate: Land and Houses in Pieria

This coastline includes Paralia, Leptokarya, Litochoro and Platamonas, with long pebble and sand beaches, the Olympus National Park behind and the castle of Platamonas.

It is a summer-weighted market; check that winter services exist in your village. For other regions, look at Kassandra in Halkidiki, Thessaloniki and Corfu.

On Greek plots, confirm that the land is buildable and inside the town plan or has the required minimum area. Look at the forest map, coastal setbacks and archaeological restrictions, and hire an engineer and a lawyer to review the title at the land registry. Transfer tax is around 3.09%, with notary, lawyer and registry fees on top; annual ENFIA tax applies.
