Greece: residency, heritage and a market still finding its level
Greece’s residency program has made property the entry point for many families. Beyond residency, Athens offers a recovering urban market and the islands a limited supply of homes that rarely come to market.

Trois perspective
“The common mistake in Greece is buying the cheapest qualifying property. The residency comes with any qualifying asset; the value does not.”
