Thessaloniki Apartments and Homes for Sale

Thessaloniki combines a seafront promenade, Byzantine walls, the White Tower, universities and a busy port. Neighbourhoods buyers look at include the historic centre and Ladadika, the hillside Ano Poli, Kalamaria on the coast and Toumba. It has its own airport and rail links to Athens.

Beyond the city: Kassandra is a Halkidiki peninsula with beach resorts, Kavala is a port city further east, and Athens is the capital.

Greece's golden visa for real estate starts at €250,000 for certain conversions and listed buildings, €400,000 in most areas and €800,000 in high-demand areas, including Thessaloniki. Purchase costs include about 3% transfer tax, legal and notary fees. You need an AFM tax number. Border-region properties may require extra approval for non-EU buyers.

See the Greece buying guide and financing page.

Thessaloniki has a large student population and a growing technology and services sector, which supports demand for one- and two-bedroom flats, the biggest groups in our data. Older apartment blocks in the centre can have no lift, outdated wiring and neglected common areas, so budget for renovation and check energy performance certificates. Short-term rental rules in Greece have tightened for certain areas, so confirm registration and any limits before relying on holiday-let income. Greek property is taxed annually through ENFIA, which depends on location and size. Use the mortgage calculator to model financing.
