Real estate in Greece · Athens & the Riviera
A real estate agency and buyer's advisory for international clients. Apartments, villas and investment property across Athens and the Athens Riviera, from the first viewing to registration at the Hellenic Cadastre.
About
A real estate agency for international buyers in Athens, with the care of an independent adviser.
We find, show and negotiate the property. Then we do what you would want someone to do before you pay a deposit: explain the market, inspect the property and its paperwork, calculate the real cost of buying, and see the purchase through to the end. We are licensed agents within an established Athens brokerage network, from Kolonaki to the coast.
Every figure has a source and a date. If something is not confirmed, we say so.
We sell property, and we tell you when a property is wrong for you. You buy when you know what you are buying.
Ownership begins with registration at the Cadastre. That is where our work ends, not at the notary.
Services
Four things every foreign buyer has to resolve in Greece. We resolve them with you, in writing, before you commit.
We define what you need (district, budget, purpose) and shortlist from current apartments, houses and plots in Athens and on the Riviera. Viewings are arranged in a single visit.
Before the deposit, not after. A lawyer checks title and encumbrances; an engineer certifies the building's legal status, without which the notary cannot complete the transfer.
A written statement of every cost before you sign: transfer tax, notary, lawyer, registration, commission. On new builds we confirm whether the price includes VAT.
Realistic yield, not promised yield. Long-term letting as the base case, short-term as upside. For residency buyers: thresholds, conditions and limits, before you choose the property.
Golden Visa
Greece grants a renewable five-year residence permit to non-EU buyers of qualifying property. The threshold depends on where you buy and what you buy.
All of Athens and the Riviera, plus Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands. One property of at least 120 m².
All other regions. One property of at least 120 m².
Commercial buildings converted to residential, or restoration of listed buildings, in any region.
Orientation only. Qualifying property may not be let on short-term rental platforms. Thresholds and conditions are checked against current law before every offer.
Districts
The question "what is the home for?" usually settles the choice within minutes. These are our starting points.
The city and its culture, all on foot. The strongest market for long-term letting.
The coast, twenty minutes from Syntagma. For buyers who want the sea as a given.
Villas, gardens and international schools. The choice of families who want space.
Quiet, residential, on the metro. Districts built for everyday life.
The sea inside the city, at prices still below the rest of Athens.
Process
from deposit to Cadastre registration, when the paperwork is clean. The order matters: tax number first, engineer before deposit, transfer tax before the notary.
Purpose, district, budget including all costs. Residency or yield goals change the shortlist from the start.
A Greek AFM issued through a lawyer in a day. No need to travel for it.
Private viewings in Athens in a single visit. The final shortlist is made together, on site.
Lawyer: title and encumbrances. Engineer: legal status of the building. A written cost statement.
Terms and tax treatment go into the pre-contract. Transfer tax (3.09%) is paid before the deed is signed.
Registration at the Ktimatologio makes you the owner. That is when we hand over the keys and the file.
Market
Indicative and sourced. Detailed district analyses are published on Instagram at @athensriviera.
All prices include VAT. Ranges within a district are wide: a renovated apartment with a view sits at the top, a 1970s building without a lift at the bottom.
Properties
Current apartments, villas and plots in Athens and on the Riviera, with prices and photographs. Choose what appeals to you; we will verify everything else.
