On 24 and 25 January 2026, the MECC Maastricht will once again welcome thousands of visitors and international property specialists under one roof. Elxis – At Home in Greece will be present to guide prospective buyers interested in purchasing property in Greece.
The Second Home Expo is one of Europe’s leading exhibitions for second-home buyers, bringing together experience, inspiration, and expert advice in a single location. With a presence dating back to the fair’s inception in the 1990s, Elxis has participated in over 100 editions, reflecting decades of experience in Greek real estate.
Each year, more than 35,000 visitors attend the Second Home Expo to explore the possibilities of buying a second home abroad. Whether you are looking for a holiday retreat, a property for rental income, or a long-term lifestyle investment, the expo offers a comprehensive overview of the international second-home market.
Visitors can explore over 25,000 holiday homes in 25 countries, presented by 125 specialised providers. From Mediterranean villas and countryside homes to modern apartments and investment properties, the diversity of options allows visitors to compare destinations and investment opportunities efficiently.
In addition to the exhibition stands, the expo features freely accessible seminars led by industry experts. These sessions cover essential topics such as legal procedures, taxation, financing, and practical considerations when buying property abroad—helping visitors take informed and confident first steps.
These presentations provide valuable insights into the realities of buying property abroad and help visitors avoid common pitfalls. By combining one-on-one conversations at the exhibition stands with expert-led seminars, visitors can ensure that their path toward owning a second home is taken in the right direction.
