Athens Property: Districts, Prices and the Golden Visa (2026)

Athens is Greece's most liquid market and the heart of Golden Visa investment, in a lively phase of price growth, tourism and regeneration. Because Attica is a high-demand area, the Athens Golden Visa threshold is €800,000 with a single home of at least 120 m². Key areas: the South Riviera (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni — prestige, strongest demand), Elliniko/The Ellinikon (Europe's largest urban regeneration, capital-growth driver), Kolonaki and the historic centre (Koukaki/Neos Kosmos, strong short-let near the Acropolis) and Piraeus (regeneration, lower entry). Gross long-term yields typically run 3.5-5%, higher for central short-lets. Browse Athens apartments and see the Golden Visa guide.
