By 2026, the islands of Naxos and Donoussa will welcome visitors of all abilities to their beaches, marking a major step toward inclusivity and sustainable island tourism in Greece.  The initiative, titled “Disabled Service Infrastructure on the Beaches of Naxos and Donoussa” is part of the South Aegean 2021–2027 Regional Program. It aims to create beaches that are open, safe, and enjoyable for everyone: residents, families, seniors, and travellers with disabilities.  Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with a budget of almost €260,000, the project will be implemented by the Municipality of Naxos and Small Cyclades. It reflects a broader regional strategy to ensure accessibility and equality across the South Aegean islands, while promoting Greece as a model for inclusive travel in Europe.

Most international buyers make their first assessment of a property online, often from another country, without the ability to visit immediately. The quality of your online presentation, the completeness of your documentation, and the trust you build with remote buyers all play a significant role in whether serious interest converts into a sale. This guide covers the key elements of presenting a Greek property effectively to overseas buyers.

Along Greece’s serene western coast, something remarkable has unfolded this year. Kyparissia Bay, a long stretch of golden sand in the Peloponnese, has recorded one of the most successful Caretta Caretta (loggerhead sea turtle) nesting seasons in decades; a milestone for both wildlife conservation and Greece’s natural heritage. According to the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece (ARCHELON), more than 6,100 nests were documented in 2025, marking a 74% increase compared to the 12-year average. That’s not only a local success but a European one: together with Zakynthos’ Laganas Bay, Kyparissia now hosts over 57% of all Caretta Caretta nests in the European Union. This makes Kyparissia Bay the most important sea turtle nesting area in the Mediterranean, a quiet, natural paradise that’s playing a leading role in preserving one of the world’s oldest marine species.

It's one of the first questions sellers ask, and the honest answer is that both seasons have a real case. There's no single right time to list. Winter tends to reach serious international buyers planning ahead for the year to come, with less competition on the market and more attention to spare. Summer shows your property at its best, when Greece is at its most tempting and buyers are here in person, falling for the place. The right choice depends on your property, your timeline, and the kind of buyer it suits. Here's how the two seasons compare for sellers.

If you're selling a home in Greece from abroad, it's a fair thing to wonder, especially if you think in pounds or dollars day to day. The answer, though, is straightforward: you price in euros. It's the currency every buyer expects, it's what the contract and the deed are written in, and it's what keeps your property easy to compare and easy to take seriously. The more interesting question is what happens to your money afterwards, when you convert the proceeds back home. That's where a little planning genuinely helps. Here's the full picture.

An exponential increase both in the speed of real estate transactions and in the overall size of the real estate market can be achieved through the availability of publicly accessible and reliable data, especially for prospective buyers from third countries. This was the key takeaway from the remarks of Mr. Dion Gavriilidis, Managing Partner of Elxis – At Home in Greece, a leading company in the sale of holiday homes in Greece.
