  In recent years, the global tourism market has shown a strong recovery, and Greece, as a tourist destination, has experienced a surge in visitor numbers. Moreover, Chinese people are already familiar with Greece. With the opening of direct flights between China and Greece, it is expected that millions of tourists will arrive in the future, creating significant housing demand.


  The heat of the Greek real estate market is becoming increasingly evident. Investors not only hope to obtain the Greek Golden Visa but also have high expectations for the appreciation potential and return on investment of Greek properties. Renting out these apartments offers very attractive returns. Currently, purchasing Greek real estate allows for immigration for three generations to obtain permanent residency in Greece, with permanent property rights, high rental returns, stable rental income, and significant appreciation potential, which is highly attractive to investors.
