FAQ's
Is it Mandatory to Use a Lawyer?
The role of the lawyer is indispensable, as he takes care of a number of pre- and post-contractual actions that are essential for the course of the transaction. This is certainly the case for people who are not familiar with the Greek legal system and the Greek real estate market.
Elxis has its own English (and Dutch)-speaking lawyers who explain everything and take care of the whole process, from cadastral survey to cadastral registration.

What is a Power of Attorney?
The Power of Attorney (POA) is not necessary for buying a home in Greece, but can be very helpful if you live outside of Greece or do not speak Greek.
With a POA, a Greek lawyer can represent you throughout the entire purchase process and take any necessary actions on your behalf, even when you’re not in Greece. For example, with a POA, a Greek lawyer can apply for a Greek Tax Number and sign the final purchase contract on your behalf.
Without a POA, you would need to fly to Greece yourself for many key steps of the home buying process.
Why Greece?
In recent years there has been an increasing demand for real estate in Greece. There are many reasons that make Greece an ideal country for a second (or even first) home.
Climate
Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and dry summers, and almost year-round sunshine (320 days a year). The warmest period is the end of July – beginning of August, with average temperatures between 29 and 35°C (84-95°F), but it is during this period that the annual north wind from the Aegean Sea causes pre-cooling.
Large variety in landscape
Greece has an enormous coastline, with 3000 islands, 138 of which are inhabited. They provide beautiful beaches, small bays, sun and sea. The Greek archipelago is a sailing paradise par excellence. A country full of history, myths and countless archaeological sites. But the great attraction of Greece remains of course the sun and the sea.
Good accessibility
Greece is the country with the most airports in Europe (more than 45). Every corner of the country can be reached daily, either directly with a charter flight or with a layover in Athens. By car, Greece is easily accessible via Italy; from several Italian harbours you can make the crossing by car with one of the many luxury ferries.
