Greece is located on the Balkan Peninsula at the southern tip of Europe. After the approval of a Greek property investment immigration application, Greek immigrants can choose to enter the country by air, which is very convenient and efficient. In addition to the large airports in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece has many other airports connecting to major European cities as well as the islands of the Aegean and Ionian Seas. A comprehensive rail and road network closely connects Greece to the entire European continent, while a shipping network covering the Mediterranean provides access to all major ports.
