Residence permits by investment in Greece: three-bedroom apartments for rent

Real estate in Greece: the cost of renting three-bedroom apartments in 2021

Share:

Real estate in Greece is a liquid asset. Prices to buy and rent Greek real estate have been rising steadily since 2017, according to the Central Bank of Greece. We have already told you about the dynamics of real estate prices over the past 10 years.

In 2020, Greek real estate prices rose more slowly than in 2019. The reason is the crisis amid a coronavirus pandemic. As soon as the Greek economy recovers from the crisis, real estate prices will begin to rise faster.

Rent costs in different regions of Greece

Greece is divided into 14 administrative districts. Popular tourist destinations include the Aegean and Ionian Islands, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Heraklion.
