Expert insight from The Telegraph
In the Telegraph article, Stephen Parsons, our International Sales Director, highlighted why Greece remains such an attractive choice for British buyers compared to other European destinations. Property prices are still relatively low, annual ownership taxes are manageable, and the rental market is thriving, creating strong returns for those seeking both a lifestyle and investment opportunity.
“Beyond the beauty and lifestyle, many of our clients also highlight value for money and security compared to other EU destinations,” Stephen explained. “The combination of low property taxes, attractive entry prices, and strong rental potential makes Greece stand out.”
This combination of lifestyle appeal and financial stability continues to drive growing interest in Greek property from UK investors who want to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle while making a sound investment.
Why Greece is a smart choice for property buyers
Buying a holiday home in Greece offers far more than sunshine and scenery. It represents a balance of lifestyle, investment value, and cultural richness. Greece’s stable property market, combined with affordable prices and a welcoming atmosphere, makes it one of Europe’s most rewarding destinations for home ownership.
Here are just a few reasons why Greece stands out for overseas property buyers:
- Affordable property prices compared to Spain, France, or Italy
- Low annual property taxes and straightforward ownership rules
- Strong short-term rental demand from year-round tourism
- Access to the Greek Golden Visa for non-EU investors and their families
- Appealing lifestyle with sun, history, culture, and cuisine
Popular areas for buying a holiday home in Greece include Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, and the Peloponnese, where traditional villages, coastal towns, and modern developments offer a variety of options for every budget and lifestyle.
