Frequently Asked Questions

Can foreign nationals buy property in Crete, Greece?
Yes. Both EU and non-EU nationals can purchase property in Greece with full ownership rights. Non-EU buyers require a purchase permit in designated border zones such as Santorini, Rhodes and parts of the Dodecanese and northern Greece, issued by the local authority. Greek Exclusive Properties handles the due diligence and coordinates every step for international buyers.
Does this property qualify for the Greek Golden Visa?
At an asking price of €1,300,000, this property exceeds the €800,000 threshold that applies even in Greece’s highest-demand areas under the current Golden Visa framework (Law 5100/2024), so it qualifies for the programme. The Greek Golden Visa grants non-EU buyers and their families renewable Schengen residency through a qualifying real estate investment. Greek Exclusive Properties provides full guidance on eligibility, legal structuring and the application process.
How are viewings of this property arranged?
Greek Exclusive Properties arranges private, in-person viewings only. Where an in-person visit is not immediately possible, we can provide floor plans or a live video call. Viewings are scheduled directly with our team for qualified buyers.
What is the buying process for foreign buyers in Greece?
The process typically involves obtaining a Greek tax number (AFM), legal due diligence on title and permits, agreeing terms, and completing through a notarial deed. Greek Exclusive Properties coordinates viewings, the legal and advisory teams, and the full transaction from shortlist to closing.
Can this property generate rental income?
Homes in established Greek island and coastal destinations can perform well in the short-term rental market, particularly properties with sea views, a pool and strong outdoor living. Actual returns depend on location, seasonality and positioning. Greek Exclusive Properties can advise on the realistic rental outlook for this property.
