Questions from property buyers
A studio is cheaper and rents out faster — to students and tourists. A two-bedroom apartment is rented by families for years: the income is more stable, and tenants change less often.
Yes, the owner registers the apartment in the short-term rental registry. Exceptions — an apartment purchased under the Golden Visa, and central Athens districts where new registrations are restricted.
In central Athens and Thessaloniki, in buildings with an elevator and parking. In resort areas there are fewer buyers, and the sale takes longer.
The annual ENFIA property tax, utility bills, and the building's shared expenses for cleaning, elevator, and pool. In complexes with security, the payment is higher.
In homes built before 2000, windows, heating, and electrical systems are typically replaced. Such properties are cheaper per square meter, but the renovation budget should be planned in advance.

- Maisonettes — two-level housing with a separate entrance. They are more often built in resort complexes in Halkidiki.
- Penthouses — the top floor with a terrace and a view. The main supply — penthouses on the Athens Riviera.

Where Apartments Are Bought

Gazi — studios for student rental; Piraeus and Nea Faliro — lofts. The selection for the capital — apartments in central and suburban Athens.
In Halkidiki, Kassandra offers a tourist flow and summer rental — see apartments in Kassandra. Sithonia is quieter and cheaper. The most affordable prices are in the north of the mainland: Kavala, Drama, Serres.
Apartment and Golden Visa Residence Permit
If you want to buy an apartment in Greece for a residence permit, note: only a single property of at least 120 m² qualifies, and a typical two-bedroom is smaller. It cannot be rented short-term. Thresholds and conditions by region are in the section on real estate in Greece.
What to Check in an Apartment
- Energy certificate — without it, the contract will not be signed.
- Glazed balconies and extensions: if they are not legalized, this is a violation, not additional square meters.
- Heating: in 1970s–80s buildings it is often shared diesel heating. Autonomous heating is cheaper to maintain.
- Building common expenses: elevator, pool, and security raise the monthly payment.
