Real Estate in Greece
Last updated on Mar 01, 2024
Summary: An expat should begin their search for a home to buy in Greece by researching the local real estate market and familiarizing themselves with the different areas of the country. It is also important to consult with a real estate agent who is knowledgeable about the local market and can provide advice on the best areas to buy in. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Greece, however there are certain restrictions in place. For example, foreigners are not allowed to purchase property in border areas or on certain islands. Houses in Greece typically include amenities such as air conditioning, balconies, and terraces. Many homes also have access to a pool, garden, and other outdoor spaces.
How do I find a place to live in Greece?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One way to find a place to live in Greece is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Nestpick, Airbnb, and HomeAway offer a variety of rental options in Greece. Additionally, you can search for local real estate agents who specialize in rentals in the area you are interested in. You can also look for classified ads in local newspapers or online forums. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Greece for recommendations," said one person in Greece.
