The real estate market in Greece is actively develops not only due to its popularity among investors, high-quality real estate, reasonable prices, but also due to oversaturated Spain. You may ask how it can be. Due to the huge flow of tourists to Spain and the incredible growth of the local real estate market it has become very difficult to find good property in Spain for reasonable price. Investors have to buy real estate far from coast of Spain, or in little-developed areas. And Greece is one of the few countries that offers the same standard of real estate on the Mediterranean coast.
Greece has much more Mediterranean coast, than Spain and, accordingly, can offer more real estate. Despite the crisis in the country, Greece is new and promising real estate market, which has much better chance to raise their prices than those already held stable markets of Italy and France. There are although restrictions on the purchase of property by foreigners in Greece. For example, foreigners must obtain authorization from the Ministry of Defence before buying property in Greece, also it’s forbidden to build houses in the coastal zone of the Greek coast and border zones.
