Here we have gathered everything you can read before we talk. Buying a property in Greece is not complicated, but it has stages, documents and costs that are good to understand in advance. If you prefer to first get familiar with the process and then ask — start with these pages.
The materials are grouped by topic. Some are short and answer a single question, others go through the entire process in depth. You don't need to read everything — pick what matches the stage you are at.
Where to start
If you are interested in a property in Greece for the first time, the most useful order is the following.
- How we work — to see what the process looks like on our side and what is expected from you.
- Guides — the practical guide to purchase, costs, taxes and renting out.
- Frequently asked questions — short answers to the most common questions.
Then, depending on the question you are interested in, move on to the topic articles.
Guides
Practical guides on how a deal works — from the first viewing to the annual taxes. Here are the steps of the purchase, the acquisition costs, the documents, the taxation of rental income and the short-term rental registration. If you read only one page on the site, let it be this one.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we receive most often: is a lawyer needed, what are the acquisition costs, what is AFM, how is rental income taxed, what is AMA for short-term rental, what happens if the property has a tenant. Each answer is short and specific — for details see the guides.

When to read and when to ask
If your question is general — what the costs are, how rent is calculated, what AFM is — the answer is probably already on one of these pages. If it is specific — whether this property is worth it, how much it will cost me with this budget, what to do with an inheritance — it is better to ask us directly.
The materials give the framework. The concrete answer always depends on the property, the area and the goal, and that is clarified in a conversation.
You cannot find the answer
If your question is not in these pages, the surest way to get an answer is to ask us directly. We will answer concretely for your case, and not with a general text.
