Pitfalls of Buying Property in Greece
If you are looking for something to buy, the legislation is about the same as if you were looking to rent. However, there are a lot of details that you need to be aware of.
By law, anyone of any nationality can buy property in Greece, providing it is not in any “sensitive” areas as the Greek Government refers to them. For EU citizens this does not apply but for the rest of the world, these areas are eastern Aegean, Dodecanese islands, northern Greece, Crete, Rhodes, and Dorian’s home in Athens. These restrictions are old and take it all with a pinch of sea salt.
