Unique and Most Affordable
The Greece Golden Visa programme for purchasing real estate in Greece remains the most accessible and attractive in Europe. There is currently a trend towards closing Golden Visa schemes. Spain cancelled it in 2025. Portugal and Hungary have excluded the option of investing in real estate, while their minimum investment thresholds were higher than in Greece — from 500,000 euros.
Fast and Simple Process
Greece's programme is known for its relatively fast processing times and low rejection rates. The entire process, including purchasing and obtaining the visa, can be completed by a lawyer. You only need to visit Greece at the final stage to provide your fingerprints.
Athens Property Prices Lower Than in Other Capitals
Athens is the primary destination for investment in Greece. According to Numbeo, the price per square metre in Athens is lower than in other popular European capitals. For comparison, the average price per square metre in the city centre is 3,280 euros, which is 50–75% cheaper than in the capitals of Portugal, France, and Spain. Meanwhile, prices are rising, with property in Athens increasing by 63% over the past five years.
The city continues to show strong growth potential, supported by economic recovery, increasing tourism, foreign direct investment, and the Golden Visa programme.
