The main level has natural light and ever changing views

Large windows fill the living area with natural light and frame layers of blue that shift throughout the day.

Every window reinforces the feeling that the sea is an extension of the home.

The first floor provides peaceful bedrooms and a sea facing balcony

A private garden that leads directly to the beach

The property is fully fenced and includes two gated entrances with parking for four cars. The landscaped grounds slope gently towards the beach, allowing you to walk straight from your garden onto the sand. Autonomous heating, air conditioning and aluminium framed windows ensure comfort throughout the year.

Buying a Holiday Home in Greece – MyElysium Featured in The Telegraph

relocate to Greece

We were recently featured in The Telegraph’s guide on how to buy and let a holiday home in Greece, where our team shared expert insight on what makes this beautiful Mediterranean country one of the most appealing and affordable options for overseas buyers from the UK.

Whether you are exploring the idea of buying a holiday home in Greece or looking for a long-term investment opportunity, our team of international property specialists can help you make an informed decision. We assist clients through every stage of the process, from finding the right area and property to understanding local taxes, ownership costs, and the Greek Golden Visa programme for non-EU citizens.

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.

Planning your purchase in Greece

Buying property abroad can seem daunting, but the process in Greece is clear and structured with the right guidance. Our team work closely with local professionals to ensure a seamless experience. We can help you with:

  • Understanding property laws and tax obligations in Greece
  • Conducting due diligence on the property before purchase
  • Managing foreign exchange and financial arrangements
  • Overseeing property management and rental income potential

Whether you plan to rent your home seasonally or use it as a personal retreat, our team ensures your investment is both enjoyable and secure.

At MyElysium, we are proud to be trusted advisors for clients exploring home ownership in Greece and Cyprus. Our expertise extends beyond the sale itself. We provide ongoing guidance on property management, maintenance, and rental strategy, ensuring your investment continues to deliver value long after completion.

Golden opportunities for buyers of property in Crete with the new Kastelli Airport

property in crete

Property in Crete is becoming even more accessible with the new Kastelli Airport. Trial operations start in 2026, with full opening in early 2027, making travel smoother for buyers and investors. For anyone looking to relocate, invest in property, or purchase a second home in Crete, the new airport opens up exciting opportunities. Furthermore, with the capacity to handle over 15 million passengers annually in its early years and eventually more than 18 million travellers per year, Crete will be more accessible than ever.

To discover how this can make owning property in Crete easier, contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk.

Easier international connections for buyers of Crete property

Crete already benefits from two international airports, Heraklion and Chania, both of which offer direct flights from the UK and across Europe. Moreover, the addition of Kastelli will further strengthen these links and position Crete as only the second destination in Greece, after Athens, to welcome direct flights from long-haul markets such as the USA, Canada, India, and China.

For buyers and second homeowners, this means:

  • Year-round accessibility, making travel from almost anywhere in the world smoother
  • Stronger rental potential, as easier access increases appeal for those letting their homes
  • Lifestyle flexibility, making relocation or part-time living in Crete far more practical.

Contact us today to discuss how these improvements can enhance your property plans in Crete.

Golden Visa opportunities in Crete

One of the biggest benefits of buying property in Greece is the Greek Golden Visa programme. With a qualifying property purchase, non-EU buyers can secure EU residency rights for themselves and their family, making travel across the Schengen Zone simple and stress free.

In Crete, a wide range of properties could make you eligible for the Golden Visa,, from modern apartments to luxury villas. With the new Kastelli Airport making the island even more accessible, this is a great time to explore the option.

At MyElysium, we are here to guide you through the whole journey, from choosing the right home to completing your Golden Visa application. If you would like to learn more, contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk.

Areas of interest for property in Crete

Crete offers something for every lifestyle, from exclusive luxury resorts to charming traditional villages. With the new airport, travel to the island is easier than ever, increasing opportunities for buyers and investors.

Elounda Hills luxury villas and branded residences for buyers

Elounda Hills is a luxury eco-resort under construction in Elounda, Crete. The 735-acre development includes branded residences, a five-star hotel managed by 1 Hotels, a marina, and world-class amenities with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and Mirabello Bay.

Residences
Terrace Villas, Hilltop Apartments, and Mirabello Villas blend traditional Cretan style with modern eco-conscious design. Buyers may be eligible for Greece’s Golden Visa programme.

Amenities
The resort features a private marina, spa and wellness village, restaurants and bars, sandy beaches, and beach clubs. In addition, it offers leisure facilities including an amphitheatre, botanical gardens, and watersports.

Sustainability and timeline
The development uses underground infrastructure, locally sourced materials, renewable energy, and smart water management. Key milestones include 2027 when the marina becomes operational, 2028 for the completion of the hotel and first residences, and 2030 and beyond for further expansion.

As UK agents for Elounda Hills, MyElysium can help you every step of the way, from arranging in-country visits and property viewings to supporting you throughout the buying process.

Rethymno
Famous for Venetian architecture, long sandy beaches, and historic charm. Traditional stone houses in nearby villages offer a serene setting while remaining close to the coast.

Chania
Combines a cosmopolitan Old Town with a Venetian harbour, excellent dining, and beautiful beaches. Strong rental demand makes it ideal for second homes.

Agios Nikolaos
A picturesque harbour town with a mix of contemporary apartments and traditional homes. Its relaxed atmosphere and modern amenities appeal to both permanent and seasonal residents.

Buyers can enjoy lifestyle benefits and EU residency security. Contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk to learn how these advantages can help you make the most of your property purchase.

Living in Crete as a second-home owner

  • A second home abroad to enjoy throughout the year
  • A relocation opportunity supported by modern infrastructure

NEWS: Positive Trends in Greece and Cyprus Property Markets Continue to Attract Investors

Despite economic challenges across Europe, including rising inflation and interest rates, the property markets in Greece and Cyprus are showing resilience, making them attractive destinations for both local and international investors.

Find Your Ideal Second Home in Cyprus, Greece, or the Greek Islands

Why Invest in Greece and Cyprus Real Estate in 2024?

The housing markets in both countries are driven by a combination of strong foreign investment and steady local demand. Particularly in Cyprus, the real estate market continues to thrive, with the first quarter of 2024 reflecting robust growth. According to recent data, the Central Bank of Cyprus reported a 7.8% annual increase in house prices during this period, slightly lower than the 8.3% growth seen in the previous quarter. Notably, apartment prices surged by 13.9%, underscoring the high demand in this segment.

The Growth of Luxury Properties in Cyprus

Luxury properties remain a significant contributor to Cyprus’s real estate market, with total sales reaching €2 billion. This momentum has carried into 2024, indicating sustained interest, especially from foreign buyers. In 2023 alone, 6,900 properties in Cyprus were purchased by international buyers, marking a 16% increase from the previous year.

Rising Demand for Class A Office Space in Cyprus

In the commercial sector, demand for Class A office space in Cyprus has reached its highest level in five years, recovering strongly from the pandemic downturn. Despite an increase in supply, office rental prices remain high, particularly in key areas like Limassol, Larnaca, and Nicosia, driven by consistent demand and evolving market standards.

Understanding the Booming Real Estate Market in Greece

In Greece, the real estate market is similarly robust. The Bank of Greece reported that the average house price in Athens’ southern suburbs hit €3,750 per square metre in Q1 2024, making it the highest nationwide. Piraeus led with a remarkable 28.9% annual increase in house prices. On a national scale, apartment prices grew by 10.4%, with significant gains across various regions, including Athens, Thessaloniki, and other urban areas.

Explore Investment Opportunities in Greece and Cyprus Real Estate

For those considering investments in Greece or Cyprus, the positive outlook in these markets offers promising opportunities. As the European Central Bank potentially lowers interest rates, the anticipated increase in local buyer activity, combined with an expanding supply of residential properties, is expected to balance the market, making it an ideal time for prospective buyers to explore options in these thriving Mediterranean regions.
