Regardless of one's status, as the seasons change, the dream of an island getaway quietly sprouts in everyone's heart. Perhaps you are planning a romantic wedding photoshoot, with an island serving as the perfect backdrop for your honeymoon; or perhaps, as a parent, you dream of building sandcastles with your children; or you might be planning a family trip to leisurely explore an island with your elders; or perhaps the pressures of life make you yearn for an escape, and a tranquil island becomes a sanctuary for your soul. However, when choosing an island destination, the greatest fear is selecting the wrong one, turning beautiful expectations into regrets.
Recently, the world-renowned travel magazine TRAVEL+LEISURE announced the "World's Best Islands" for 2024. Among them, four Greek islands were included: Milos, Crete, Corfu and the Ionian Islands, and Paros. This selection was based on criteria such as natural attractions, beaches, activities, and culture, with over 180,000 readers participating in voting and scoring to select the 25 most popular islands with diverse scenery this year.
Greece's iconic islands are famous for their beauty and long history. Greece has numerous islands, and in terms of tourism, the essence of Greece lies in island hopping. Due to their different geographical environments, the Greek islands have created distinct histories and cultures. By delving into different islands, you can experience a wide variety of landscapes and lifestyles. Whether traveling by ferry or by twin-engine propeller plane, the mode and pace of travel will be unforgettable.
The Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (EEPF) announced that a total of 625 beaches in Greece were awarded the "Blue Flag" in 2024, marking the second consecutive year that the number of "Blue Flag" beaches has exceeded 600. Beaches awarded the "Blue Flag" represent superior water quality that is pure and unpolluted, meeting standards for bathing water. Today, "Blue Flag Beach" has become a globally recognized synonym for high-quality beaches.
Greece is a country very suitable for tourism. As a nation with a highly developed tourism industry, Greece attracts a large number of visitors. According to the latest data released by the Bank of Greece, Greece's total tourism revenue for 2023 was approximately 20.5 billion euros. This figure not only set a new historical high for Greece's tourism revenue but also surpassed the pre-pandemic record of 2019, achieving a growth of over 10%.
Against the backdrop of Greece's continued tourism prosperity, the Greek real estate market has become a focal point for many global investors. More and more investors are choosing to invest in a second property in Greece. Beyond investment, more importantly, it allows for the acquisition of residency status. By purchasing real estate in Greece worth at least 250,000 euros, a family of three generations can obtain Greek permanent residency, and upon meeting the conditions, one can apply for naturalization to obtain a Greek passport, which is an EU passport.
The Greek Golden Visa program will increase to 800,000 euros starting September 1st. Under these policy changes, it is a race against time! If you want to seize the final opportunity to process Greek immigration under the old policy (i.e., the 250,000 euro low-cost Greek immigration), you must pay at least a 10% property deposit to the developer's Greek account before August 31, 2024, and pay the full amount and complete the property transfer procedures by December 31, 2024. Now is the best time to act; locking in the policy and getting on board quickly is the most suitable choice at this moment.
