Real Estate Market in Greece 2025: Current Prices and Trends

Greece once again ranks second among 52 countries for the number of beaches awarded the “Blue Flag” in 2025 — a prestigious international recognition for cleanliness and water quality.

The country has been honored with a total of 623 beaches, further affirming its high environmental and tourism standards, and reinforcing its image as a top destination for seaside living and leisure.

Against this backdrop, Greece continues to be particularly attractive to Bulgarian buyers thanks to its proximity, sunny climate, and the opportunity to own property along its azure coastline. In 2025, interest in the Greek real estate market remains strong, with property prices varying depending on the location and type of property. Thessaloniki, the country’s second-largest city, has seen a significant increase — at the beginning of 2025, prices there rose by 12.6%, reaching around ˆ2,600/sq.m.

Property Prices Along the Coast and Islands

Along the coastline, particularly in Halkidiki, prices range between ˆ2,000 and ˆ4,500 per square meter, depending on proximity to the sea, infrastructure, the level and quality of construction, as well as the type of property. This region is a favorite for vacation homes, with Kassandra and Sithonia offering good investment opportunities.

In the popular resort town of Asprovalta, located between Thessaloniki and Kavala, prices range from about ˆ1,800 to ˆ2,800/sq.m. It is preferred by buyers seeking a quieter seaside location with good infrastructure and quick access to Bulgaria.

In Kavala, one of the most picturesque port towns in Northern Greece, prices vary between ˆ1,600 and ˆ3,500/sq.m. The city offers a mix of urban life and resort atmosphere, making it very popular among foreign buyers.

On well-known islands like Santorini and Paros, prices can exceed ˆ7,000/sq.m, especially for properties with direct beach access or panoramic sea views.

On the island of Thassos, which is particularly popular among Bulgarians, property prices are more moderate — ranging between ˆ1,800 and ˆ3,500/sq.m. Areas near Limenas, Skala Potamia, and Panagia show consistent interest and price growth.

Additional Costs When Buying Property in Greece

When purchasing property in Greece, it’s important to consider additional costs, which amount to approximately 10% of the sale price. These include notary fees, legal fees, property transfer tax, land registry fees, and broker commission if you use a real estate agency. Additionally, there is an annual property tax (ENFIA), which varies depending on the property’s value, location, year of construction, presence of a pool, and other factors. For most properties in Northern Greece, this annual tax does not exceed ˆ4/sq.m of the built area.

Golden Visa

Greece offers the opportunity to obtain a European residence permit through the “Golden Visa” program, available with the purchase of property worth over ˆ250,000. In 2024, the minimum investment threshold was increased to ˆ800,000 in some areas.

Purchasing property in Greece is not just a financial investment — it is an opportunity for a new lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a holiday home, a permanent residence, or an investment property, the Greek market offers a variety of options to suit different needs and budgets.
