A Smarter Entry Point Into Europe

Our strong position is that this threshold is the total amount including our fees – making the €250,000 level the most aggressive entry point into the Greek market today. While standard residential prices in Central Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini have climbed to €800,000, this legal framework allows you to acquire lofts and modernised hotel apartments at the original lower price point.
