With so many different resorts offering hot, sunny weather, a low cost of living and an altogether slower pace of life, Greece property certainly offers choice to overseas buyers.
Crete is the largest of the islands and one of the top destinations for those looking for property in Greece. The best-known resorts may be too “touristy” for some (though there are plenty of British buyers who have gone there to set up business who rely on the tourist trade) but there are villages inland with very cheap Crete property and many sandy beaches that are largely devoid of holidaymakers.
Other favourite island locations to buy Greek property include Corfu, Kos, Rhodes and Mykonos. Chic Santorini, in the Cyclades island group, is another Greek property hotspot, famed equally for its dramatic beauty and red volcanic rocks as its vibrant nightlife.
As in other countries, the best bargains on property for sale in Greece are usually to be found off the beaten track, but even in the more popular areas, a Greek property for sale is one of the cheaper options for overseas buyers looking for a property in Greece.
The buying process of property in Greece is relatively straightforward, with no restrictions for UK buyers, but bear in mind that while prices of Greece properties for sale are low, it is wise to allow up to 20 per cent to cover fees and taxes. Rustic renovation projects are one of the most cost-effective options for buyers of Greece property, and those prepared to refurbish an old building can readily find a bargain.
