  Recently, a report released by Athens International Airport revealed that passenger traffic at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport increased by 5.3% in December 2019, adding a total of 1.64 million passengers. International passengers rose by 10.9%, while domestic passengers decreased by 6.7% compared to the same period last year.


  Throughout Greece in 2019, inbound international travelers grew by 8.6%, with total passenger numbers reaching 25.57 million, setting a new record compared to 24.13 million in 2018. The number of flights reached 225,628, an increase of 3.9% year-on-year, with domestic flights rising by 4.1% and international flights increasing by 3.8%.


  As a globally popular tourist destination, many major airlines operate flights to Greece from major cities around the world. Greece currently has 35 airports, of which 15 are international airports, with Athens International Airport being the most busy and frequently used.


  As the bilateral relationship between China and Greece strengthens, an increasing number of Chinese tourists travel to Greece for investments or vacation travel. The Athens International Airport has launched a WeChat mini-program specifically designed to provide convenient airport service guides for visiting Chinese tourists. By scanning the WeChat code, travelers can access information on dining, shopping, tax refund, car rentals, currency exchange, and public transportation between the airport and Athens city center as well as the port of Piraeus.


  As a favored tourist and vacation destination, Greece not only attracts numerous international tourists but also sees a growing number of visionary investors turning their attention to Greece amid the recovery of the Greek economy in recent years. Coupled with the benefits of Greece’s Golden Visa policy, more and more international investments are entering the Greek market.


  Currently, through the Greek property investment immigration program, investments starting at €250,000 can lead to applications for Greek permanent residence visas for the entire family spanning three generations, allowing access to 26 Schengen countries. Additionally, applicants can benefit from Greece’s educational and healthcare advantages while acquiring property with permanent ownership in Greece, establishing a second home overseas and enjoying multiple benefits.

  The project is located in the uniquely advantageous northern end of the seafront promenade of Alimos, close to the sea and adjacent to Vouliagmenis Avenue, one of the most significant roads in Athens that connects the city center with the southern seaside promenade.
