Imagine starting each day with your own private pool, watching the sun rise over the Ionian Sea. This is what life at Corfu Sunset Hills looks like.

Housing investment in Greece has grown almost sevenfold since 2017, according to the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT).

A project shaped by the landscape rather than the trend: natural stone, earth-toned plaster and olive groves, with the Messinian Gulf on the horizon. In Avramio, a living village in the countryside outside Kalamata, four villas bring together the building traditions of the region and the comfort of a modern, energy-efficient home.

After several years of rapid price increases, Greece’s housing market is showing signs of a more moderate pace in 2026. But the slowdown is not appearing in all segments in the same way. Holiday homes and newly built properties continue to attract strong demand internationally, while in the broader residential property market price growth is beginning to slow.

Two important changes were recently announced at the Hellenic Cadastre, which that property owners in Greece should be aware of. The first one involves properties that are listed as “owner unknown” and claimed through adverse possession. And the second one is about properties that have been registered with the wrong area, boundaries, shape, and/or location (also known as “διόρθωση γεωμετρικών στοιχείων”).

Getting to Greece is becoming even easier, with Transavia expanding its connections from Belgium and France, with new routes to Crete and Thessaloniki and more options for travelling outside the traditional summer season.

The origins of holiday home buyers from outside the EU are of particular interest, as the picture that emerges shows noticeable differences from investments in major urban centers.
