Location
The apartment is located in the central part of Athens, close to public transport, shops, and urban infrastructure. The central location is suitable both for personal use and for rental investment: according to Numbeo data for August 2026, the average rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in central Athens is approximately €639 per month, while outside the center it is about €563. The average purchase price per square meter in the center is approximately €3,508.
Athens and other Greek cities
Athens remains one of the most expensive cities in the country in terms of living costs. In August 2026, the cost of living index including rent stands at 40.03 in Athens, compared to 37.56 in Heraklion, 37.56 in Thessaloniki, and 32.67 in Patras. The difference is particularly noticeable in housing: the rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in central Patras is approximately €446, compared to €624 in Athens, while the purchase price per square meter in the center is about €1,850 versus €3,509.
Financial considerations when relocating
Moving to Thessaloniki involves lower costs, but the gap with Athens is moderate: the rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in the center is about €549, and the purchase price per square meter is about €3,330. In Heraklion, central rent is about €575 and purchase per m² is about €3,417, while in Patras housing is significantly cheaper. When choosing between cities, the buyer is effectively weighing the higher cost of capital‑city housing against access to the country's largest urban market.
About the property
The 66 m² apartment spans three levels. On the first level of 31 m², there is a living room with an open kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub; the basement area includes an auxiliary space that can be used as a laundry room and a second bathroom. On the upper level, there is an attic bedroom. The apartment is equipped with underfloor heating, air conditioning, cable television, double glazing in aluminum frames, and a security door; floors are tiled, and the energy class is D. The property has been renovated, painted, and is sold furnished with appliances.
Layout
The three levels allow the main functions of the apartment to be separated: the common area is on the ground floor, the auxiliary space is in the basement, and the bedroom is in the attic. An internal staircase connects all rooms. This solution provides distinct zones for daytime and nighttime use, but involves regular movement between levels.
In the complex
The property is located in a residential zone within the city plan. Access is via an asphalt road, and the apartment has a façade and an electricity connection. Additional features include cable television, air conditioning, double‑glazed windows with aluminum frames, and a security door.
Price and costs
Property price
Price — upon request.
Price per m² is calculated upon confirmation of the property value.
The apartment includes furniture and appliances.
Buyer costs
In addition to the purchase price, transaction closing costs are added. Their composition and amount depend on the specific transaction and should be included in the final calculation before signing the contract.
Annual property taxes, utilities, and building maintenance fees are calculated separately.
Purchase procedure and transaction format
The property is being offered to a foreign buyer within an investment scenario using the Greece Golden Visa. According to official statistics from the Greek Ministry of Migration, by March 2026, 39,179 investor applications had been submitted for initial permits and renewals, of which 30,456 related to initial issuance. The Attica region accounted for the largest share of accumulated applications.
Greece Golden Visa
Since March 31, 2024, for the most sought‑after markets, including greater Attica, a threshold of €800,000 applies for real estate purchases under the Golden Visa program; for other territories, a threshold of €400,000 applies, while certain property categories have a threshold of €250,000. For standard residential property, a minimum area of 120 m² is also required under the corresponding investment scenario.
Therefore, a 66 m² apartment should not be automatically assumed to qualify for a Golden Visa based solely on the seller's wording. For a specific transaction, the applicable program regime, property category, purchase price, and compliance with the current requirements as of the date of the transaction must be determined.
If you are considering it as an investment
The apartment is designated as an investment property and is being offered for personal use or rental. The Athens market in 2026 maintains a high price level: Numbeo estimates the average purchase price per square meter in the center at approximately €3,508, with a gross rental yield of about 4% in the center and 4.06% outside the center. These figures refer to the Athens market as a whole and are not a calculation of this specific property's yield.
Key points for the investor
When evaluating the property, the purchase price, closing costs, the Golden Visa regime, and rental regulations should all be considered separately. Short‑term rentals are subject to specific restrictions depending on the property category and the applicable Golden Visa regime; for the investor, it is essential to verify the feasibility of the chosen rental format before the transaction.
Suitable for
— A buyer who needs a furnished apartment in central Athens near public transport and shops.
— Those comfortable with a multi‑level layout with a separate attic bedroom and two bathrooms.
— A buyer looking for an investment property in the capital, suitable for either personal use or rental.
May not be suitable for
— Those who need a single‑level apartment: the property is spread across ground, basement, and attic levels.
— A buyer who requires a higher energy class: the apartment is rated D.
— Those who need space without a significant proportion of auxiliary areas: of the 66 m², the ground floor occupies 31 m², and a separate part is in the basement.
— A buyer expecting to obtain a Golden Visa under the standard residential threshold in Attica: a floor area of 66 m² is below the minimum of 120 m² required for that regime.
What to know before the transaction
Central Athens requires a larger housing budget than Patras, while the difference with Thessaloniki and Heraklion is significantly smaller. For living, this means a higher rental burden; for an investor, a higher entry cost for real estate. The internal layout of this apartment, with a basement and attic, also differs from the standard single‑level format. When purchasing for a Golden Visa, the key question is not only the property price but also whether the property category complies with the program's current requirements.
How to view and purchase
Viewings are available in person or via video through Discount House. Manager response time — within 30 minutes. Before proceeding, the buyer must obtain a full transaction breakdown, determine the applicable Golden Visa regime, agree on the form of ownership, payment terms, and the required documentation.
Internal notes
Confirm the property price and price per m²; the applicability of the Golden Visa to a 66 m² apartment; the property category for the purposes of the program; the form of ownership; required documents; closing costs; annual payments; the feasibility of short‑term and long‑term rental; the remote purchase procedure; payment methods; and languages of support.
Contradiction: the promotional statement regarding Golden Visa compliance does not automatically align with the current requirements for standard residential property in Attica: the floor area of 66 m² is below the 120 m² threshold, and the property price is not provided in the source.
