You set out three things in our conversation: the residence permit is the primary objective, the property should be let out after purchase, and Greece may become somewhere you live at some point in the future. You gave us no restriction on district or on the number of rooms, and a budget band of €250,000 – €300,000. This selection is built on exactly that brief.
Because the residence permit comes first, every project below sits at or above a threshold that can be met inside your budget. Because letting comes second, we have favoured locations with year-round rather than seasonal tenants. And because you may live here later, we have deliberately kept two different kinds of address on the list: coastal and central ones that let easily, and northern suburban ones that are more comfortable to live in.
The order is not a ranking of recommendation. It is a geographic arrangement — the Riviera corridor first, then Piraeus, then the central districts, then the northern suburbs. Under each project you will find two expandable sections: the area report and the project report. We have written the weaknesses as plainly as the strengths; where we have no verified data on a heading, we say so openly.
Because there is no single figure. The legislation defines three tiers, and which tier a property falls into is determined by its location and its legal status. For this reason Avla provides written threshold confirmation for every project in the portfolio at the offer stage.
On the €250,000 route there is no floor-area requirement; in return, more than one independent residential unit may not be created on the same title, and the property may not be let on a short-term basis (daily/weekly) for 5 years.
Locations are shown as circles at neighbourhood level. We share the full addresses together with the viewing programme once we have clarified which project interests you.
Why it is in your selection. One-bedroom units of 34.8–41.3 m² from €261,000 in upper Glyfada — the Riviera's most established residential address, with year-round tenants rather than seasonal ones, and the easiest coastal option to actually live in later.
Glyfada is the one southern coastal suburb that functions as a complete town in its own right: schools, clinics, a commercial high street and a tram line, not a summer strip. The upper part of the suburb sits back from the shore on rising ground, which is what keeps it residential rather than seasonal.
For a buyer whose plan is to let first and possibly live here later, this is the address on the list with the deepest long-lease tenant pool and the shortest vacancy periods.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 34.8 – 38.5 m² | from €261,000 |
| 1-bedroom · larger layouts | 38.6 – 41.3 m² | up to €316,000 |
Ano Glyfada is the inland, elevated part of Glyfada, roughly 15 km south of central Athens on the coastal corridor. The neighbourhood is low-rise and residential, laid out on the slopes below Hymettus, with the commercial centre of Glyfada a short drive downhill.
The tram runs the length of the coastal road into central Athens; the Elliniko metro station on Line 2 is a few minutes away by car and reaches Syntagma directly. Athens International Airport is roughly 25–30 minutes by road.
The tenant base is domestic professional and family, on annual contracts, supplemented by relocating expatriates. This is not a short-let market and does not depend on the summer season.
A new-build residential scheme of compact one-bedroom apartments between 34.8 m² and 41.3 m², arranged over a low-rise building with private balconies to each unit.
Delivered fully finished with fitted kitchens, air conditioning provision and an energy rating in line with current Greek new-build regulation. Parking and storage are allocated per unit where available and are confirmed at contract stage.
It carries the highest year-round occupancy expectation on this list, and it is the single address here that works equally well as a rental asset now and as a home later.
Why it is in your selection. Compact 28–36 m² one-bedrooms from €295,000 in Elliniko, directly beside Athens' largest coastal regeneration zone, where the surrounding masterplan is the clearest medium-term driver of both rent levels and resale value.
Elliniko sits on the site of the former airport, now the largest coastal regeneration project in southern Europe. What matters for a buyer is not the marketing around the scheme but its second-order effect: new parkland, retail and employment arriving within walking distance of existing residential streets.
The units here are small. That is deliberate — a compact unit in an improving location is the cleanest way to hold a position in the regeneration corridor at this budget.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 28 – 32 m² | from €295,000 |
| 1-bedroom · larger layouts | 33 – 36 m² | up to €380,000 |
Elliniko is on the coastal axis between Glyfada and Alimos, immediately inland of the shoreline. The neighbourhood is established residential; the regeneration land lies alongside it rather than replacing it.
Metro Line 2 terminates at Elliniko, giving a direct rail connection to central Athens; the tram and the coastal avenue run parallel. The airport is roughly 20–25 minutes by road.
Mixed domestic professional tenants and long-stay international residents. Demand is year-round; the regeneration works add a construction and services workforce on medium-term contracts.
A new-build scheme of compact one-bedroom apartments from 28 m² to 36 m², designed for letting rather than for large-family occupation.
Fully finished delivery with fitted kitchen and air conditioning provision. Communal landscaped areas are part of the scheme; parking allocation is confirmed at contract stage.
It buys a position in the strongest medium-term regeneration corridor in Athens at the lowest practical entry size.
Why it is in your selection. €280,000 entry for 1–2 bedrooms of 35–65 m² in Neo Faliro, a mature seaside-edge suburb served by both tram and metro — one of the few Riviera-side locations where short-let demand and long-term tenants overlap.
Neo Faliro sits at the hinge between Piraeus and the start of the Riviera, next to the Faliro coastal park and the Stavros Niarchos cultural complex. It is one of the few points in Athens where two rail systems and the coastal road meet.
The two-bedroom layouts at the upper end of the range are the practical option here for someone who may want to occupy the property personally for part of the year.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 35 – 48 m² | from €280,000 |
| 2-bedroom | 49 – 65 m² | up to €410,000 |
Neo Faliro lies immediately east of Piraeus, on the bay at the western end of the Athens Riviera. The area is established residential with a park frontage rather than a beach strip.
Served by both the tram and Line 1 of the metro, with direct connections to Piraeus port and central Athens. The coastal avenue reaches Glyfada in around fifteen minutes outside peak hours.
A genuinely mixed tenant base — port and cultural-sector employees on annual leases, plus visitor demand generated by the adjacent cultural and sports venues.
A residential scheme of one- and two-bedroom apartments between 35 m² and 65 m², with the larger layouts suitable for personal occupation.
Fully finished delivery; the specification schedule is provided in writing before reservation. Balconies to each unit; parking and storage confirmed at contract stage.
It is the widest usable size range on the Riviera side of this selection within the stated budget.
Why it is in your selection. Studios to 2-bedrooms of 20–59 m² from €250,000 in Piraeus, the port and cruise hub whose year-round tenant base keeps occupancy high well outside the summer season.
Piraeus is not a resort. It is the largest passenger port in the Mediterranean with a permanent working population, a university, a metro terminus and a suburban rail interchange — which is precisely why its rental market does not empty out in November.
This scheme covers the full size range from studio upward, so the €250,000 threshold can be met at the smallest unit while larger layouts stay available in the same building.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 20.1 – 28 m² | from €250,000 |
| 1-bedroom | 29 – 45 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
| 2-bedroom | 46 – 58.8 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
Central Piraeus, within the dense urban grid inland of the passenger terminals. The setting is city rather than coastal.
Metro Line 1 and Line 3 both terminate in Piraeus, with Line 3 running directly to the airport. Suburban rail and the national bus network connect from the same interchange.
Port and shipping-sector employees, university students and staff, and long-stay visitors. Occupancy is year-round rather than seasonal.
A residential building of studio to two-bedroom apartments between 20.1 m² and 58.8 m², covering the widest ladder of unit sizes at the entry price point in this selection.
Fully finished delivery with fitted kitchens. Communal entrance and lift; parking allocation is limited in central Piraeus and is confirmed per unit at contract stage.
It meets the €250,000 threshold exactly while keeping larger units available in the same building for a later move.
Why it is in your selection. An unusually wide 27–97 m² range from €250,000 in Piraeus, so the same project covers the €250,000 entry point now and a larger unit to occupy later without changing neighbourhood.
Kaminia is an inland Piraeus neighbourhood of low-rise residential streets, quieter than the port frontage and traditionally occupied by long-term local households rather than transient tenants.
The 97 m² upper end is the largest single unit in this entire selection. If the plan is to hold one property now and occupy a second, larger one later, this is the only address here where both can sit in the same scheme.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 27 – 45 m² | from €250,000 |
| 2-bedroom | 46 – 70 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
| Larger layouts | 71 – 97 m² | up to €420,000 |
Kaminia lies inland of the Piraeus port area, on the slope between the port and the Athens municipal boundary. It is residential, dense and low-rise.
Bus and tram connections into the Piraeus interchange, from which metro Lines 1 and 3 serve central Athens and the airport respectively.
Predominantly domestic long-lease tenants — local households and port-sector employees. Turnover is low.
A residential scheme spanning 27 m² to 97 m², from compact one-bedroom units up to large family layouts within a single building.
Fully finished delivery; specification schedule issued in writing before reservation. Balconies to each unit; parking and storage confirmed at contract stage.
The size ladder is the widest here, which suits a buyer whose use of the property may change over time.
Why it is in your selection. Turnkey 1–2 bedroom units in Piraeus delivered ready to let from €250,000 — the closest fit on the list to a hands-off, income-from-handover arrangement.
Turnkey here means the unit is handed over furnished and equipped, so it can be placed with a tenant without a fit-out period. For an owner living outside Greece, that removes the part of the process that is hardest to manage remotely.
It is the most operationally straightforward option in the selection, and the one that starts producing income soonest after handover.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom · turnkey | 1 bed | from €250,000 |
| 2-bedroom · turnkey | 2 bed | on request — confirmed in writing |
Central Piraeus, within the established residential and commercial grid inland of the port.
Direct access to the Piraeus interchange: metro Lines 1 and 3, suburban rail and the national coach network. Line 3 runs to the airport without a change.
Port, shipping and university-related tenants, with long-stay corporate demand. Year-round rather than seasonal.
Serviced-standard one- and two-bedroom apartments delivered furnished and equipped, ready for occupation or letting from handover.
Furnished and equipped to a defined schedule; the inventory forms part of the contract documentation. Building management arrangements are set out in writing before reservation.
It is the least hands-on option here for an owner who will not be resident in Greece at the outset.
Why it is in your selection. €250,000–€348,000 with only 8 of 54 units still available (32 sold, 12 reserved) — the strongest absorption evidence in this shortlist, in a dense central-south district with constant student and professional rental demand.
Kallithea is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Greece, sitting between the Athens centre and the coast, with two universities inside its boundary. Rental demand there is structural rather than cyclical.
Of 54 units in the scheme, 32 are sold and 12 reserved. Eight remain. That absorption record is the clearest market signal in this selection — and it also means the remaining choice is narrow and moves fast.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 38 – 46 m² | from €250,000 |
| 1-bedroom · larger layouts | 47 – 60 m² | up to €348,000 |
Kallithea occupies the corridor between central Athens and the Faliro bay, immediately south of the historic centre.
Metro Line 1 and the tram both serve the district, with the coastal avenue and the Syngrou axis giving road access to the centre and the Riviera.
Students, university staff and young professionals, on annual leases. One of the deepest and most consistent rental pools in Athens.
A residential building of one-bedroom apartments between 38 m² and 60 m², of which 8 of 54 units remain available at the time of writing.
Fully finished delivery. Balconies to each unit; parking and storage where available are confirmed per unit at contract stage.
It is the most strongly absorbed scheme in this selection, in the district with the deepest tenant pool.
Why it is in your selection. Studios to 2-bedrooms of 25–60 m² from €250,000 in Nea Erythraia, an affluent low-density northern suburb — the most comfortable option here for eventually living in Greece full time.
Nea Erythraia belongs to the northern suburbs around Kifisia: gardens, tree cover, private schools and a much lower building density than anywhere else in this selection. It is where Athenian households move when they stop optimising for commute time.
For the part of your plan that involves living in Greece rather than letting, this is the address on the list with the highest day-to-day quality of life.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 25 – 32 m² | from €250,000 |
| 1-bedroom | 33 – 48 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
| 2-bedroom | 49 – 60 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
Nea Erythraia is in the northern suburbs, adjoining Kifisia, roughly 15 km from central Athens on the elevated northern plain.
Metro Line 1 reaches Kifisia, a short drive away; the national road gives direct access to the centre and onward to the airport in around 30–35 minutes.
Affluent domestic households and expatriate families on long leases. Low turnover, high tenant quality, thinner tenant volume than central districts.
A low-density residential scheme of studio to two-bedroom apartments between 25 m² and 60 m², set among gardens rather than on a street frontage.
Fully finished delivery; landscaped communal areas. Parking is generally available in this location and is confirmed per unit at contract stage.
It is the most comfortable long-term living option in the selection, and the one that best matches a future move to Greece.
Why it is in your selection. €280,000–€350,000 for 1–2 bedrooms of 35–58 m² in Marousi, the northern business and metro hub, where corporate tenants sign long leases instead of short-stay turnover.
Marousi is the corporate centre of northern Athens — head offices, the Olympic complex, private hospitals and clinics, and a metro station on Line 3 that reaches both the city centre and the airport without a change.
The tenant here is a relocated employee or a medical professional on a multi-year contract. Rents are steady rather than spectacular, and vacancy gaps are short.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 35 – 45 m² | from €280,000 |
| 2-bedroom | 46 – 58 m² | up to €350,000 |
Marousi lies in the northern suburbs on the Line 3 metro corridor, roughly 12 km from the centre, combining office, hospital and residential uses.
Metro Line 3 runs directly to Syntagma and onward to the airport; suburban rail and the Attiki Odos motorway serve the same district.
Corporate and medical-sector professionals on long leases, plus domestic households. Consistent year-round demand, low seasonality.
A residential scheme of one- and two-bedroom apartments between 35 m² and 58 m², aimed at the professional long-lease market.
Fully finished delivery; balconies to each unit. Parking availability is better in this district than in central locations and is confirmed per unit at contract stage.
It is the steadiest long-lease tenant profile in the selection.
Why it is in your selection. From €262,500 for 39–86 m² across 1–3 bedroom layouts in central Athens, the widest choice of sizes within budget for a buyer who may switch from renting out to living in the same unit.
Central Athens carries the deepest and most liquid rental market in the country, and the shortest average vacancy. It is also the market where the specific street matters most — two parallel roads can behave completely differently.
The three-bedroom layouts at the top of the range are the only ones in this selection that would house a family without compromise while still starting inside the stated budget.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 39 – 52 m² | from €262,500 |
| 2-bedroom | 53 – 70 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
| 3-bedroom | 71 – 86 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
A central Athens address within the municipal core, inside the metro and trolley network and within walking distance of the main commercial streets.
Metro, trolley and bus services in immediate walking distance; Line 3 reaches the airport directly from the centre.
The broadest tenant mix in Greece — professionals, students, long-stay international residents and institutional lets. Vacancy periods are the shortest in the country.
A residential scheme of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments between 39 m² and 86 m² in the Athens municipal core.
Fully finished delivery; the specification schedule is issued in writing before reservation. Parking in the centre is limited and is confirmed per unit.
It offers the widest layout choice in the selection inside the budget, from letting unit to family home.
Why it is in your selection. A 22-residence building in Kallithea from €257,000 for 39.8–51.3 m² one-bedrooms — small enough to be managed properly, central enough to let on annual rather than seasonal contracts.
Twenty-two residences is a scale at which a building can actually be run: a single management arrangement, a manageable service charge and neighbours who are mostly resident rather than transient.
The southern part of Kallithea sits closer to the Faliro bay than to the city centre, which shortens the run to the coast without moving out of the annual-lease rental market.
| Type | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 39.8 – 45 m² | from €257,000 |
| 1-bedroom · larger layouts | 45.1 – 51.3 m² | on request — confirmed in writing |
Southern Kallithea, between the Athens municipal core and the Faliro coastal park, in an established residential grid.
Tram and metro Line 1 serve the district; the Syngrou axis and the coastal avenue give road access to the centre and the Riviera.
Domestic professionals, students and young households on annual leases. Consistent, non-seasonal demand.
A building of 22 residences, offering one-bedroom apartments between 39.8 m² and 51.3 m².
Fully finished delivery with balconies to each unit; the specification schedule is issued in writing before reservation. Parking and storage are confirmed per unit.
It combines a manageable building size with a central, non-seasonal letting market.

Tell us the two or three projects you like; let us obtain written confirmation of current availability and price from the developers, start the independent legal opinion process for the Golden Visa threshold, and set up your viewing programme in Athens. If you wish, we can place a short-term option on the units you choose.
1 · Introduction record. Which property was introduced, and by whom, is put on record with the viewing form. Our viewing form covers digital and physical showings alike — presenting a property to you on a video call and showing it on site carry the same weight.
2 · Viewing. If you wish, properties are shown over a video call; or, during your visit, we collect you from the airport and build a comprehensive two-day viewing programme, accompanying you throughout. Before the viewing we kindly ask you to sign the viewing form. Viewing and information are free of charge.
3 · Service fee. On most Golden Visa properties we charge our clients no service fee; our only request is that the purchase of a property we introduced is completed through our firm. On some properties a service fee may apply; where it does, it is capped at 2% + VAT.
4 · Reservation. If you wish, the full legal review (title history, mortgage/lien, permits) is carried out by our lawyers; once the preliminary review is complete, we proceed to reservation. The reservation amount is generally capped at 10% of the purchase price; the property can be paid in full or in instalments.
5 · With you throughout. From the purchase itself to the Golden Visa application and its renewals, we are at your side at every step.
