Olynthos Property Market: Overview

Very little of what sells in Olynthos ever reaches a portal. The village is small, the surrounding land is held by farming families, and most transfers happen between people who already know one another. What does reach the open market is usually a house inherited by heirs living elsewhere, or a field a family has decided to release.

That produces an oddly two-sided market. House prices are low, because demand from outside is limited and the stock is plain. Land prices vary enormously depending on a single question, which is whether a parcel can ever carry a building. In a village bordered by a protected archaeological perimeter, that question has more possible answers than it does anywhere else in the Polygyros area.

Why Buyers Choose Olynthos

The argument here is arithmetic. You buy inland prices with coastal access: a house or a plot at a fraction of what the same thing costs on the water, with three or four different beaches inside a half-hour drive and a market town even closer. Few places in Chalkidiki offer that combination.

The second attraction is that the village is real. It has a permanent population, agriculture that employs people, a working calendar and none of the shuttered emptiness that descends on resort settlements in October. Add a landscape of olive groves and open fields with the gulf visible from the higher ground, and the appeal is easy to understand.

Where Olynthos Is and How You Reach It

Set back a short way from the northern shore of the Kassandra gulf, the settlement sits beside the trunk route that funnels traffic out of Thessaloniki towards the two southern peninsulas. Being at a junction rather than at the end of a road is unusual for a farming village, and it is why journeys in almost every direction are short.

The distances below are approximate and depend on the route taken and the time of year, since summer traffic heading for the peninsulas can slow the main road considerably.

For a second-home owner the airport figure is the one that matters. Under an hour from the terminal to the front door means a property that gets used for long weekends rather than for one annual fortnight, and used property is maintained property.

At the Head of the Kassandra Gulf

The village sits where the gulf ends and the land closes in, on rising ground above the alluvial flats laid down by the Olynthios river. The setting is agricultural rather than maritime: cereals, olives and orchards, with the water in the distance rather than at the bottom of the garden.

That position has practical consequences. The village is sheltered from the open sea and from the north wind that scours the exposed coasts, summers are hot and still, and the lower fields can hold water after heavy winter rain. Properties on the rise behind the village get the breeze and the long view; those on the flat get the fertile ground and, occasionally, the standing water.

Ancient Olynthos and the Excavated City

The ancient city occupied two low hills immediately beside the modern village and ranked among the leading settlements of the northern Aegean, serving as the political centre of the Chalcidian League until Philip II of Macedon destroyed it in 348 BC. Never rebuilt, its street grid, house plots and mosaics survived largely undisturbed, and the excavated remains are among the most complete examples of Classical domestic town planning in Greece.

For residents this means a nationally significant monument on the doorstep, a steady if modest flow of visitors and researchers, and a village whose identity is bound up with its past. For buyers it means something more concrete: the ground around here is archaeologically live, and the state treats it accordingly.

What the Archaeological Zone Means for Building

Land near a declared archaeological site in Greece falls within protective zones administered by the archaeological service. Depending on the zone, building may be barred outright, allowed only at reduced density or height, or allowed subject to prior investigation of the ground. These constraints attach to the land itself, whatever any other authority permits.

The practical rule for any purchase near the site is that the archaeological position must be established in writing before money changes hands. That means identifying which zone the parcel sits in, obtaining the archaeological service's stated position on what may be done, and having your engineer confirm how those constraints interact with the ordinary planning rules. None of this is exotic, but it takes time and it cannot be short-circuited.

Rescue Excavation, Permits and Delay

Where building is allowed subject to investigation, the sequence is that the ground is examined before construction begins. If nothing significant is found, work proceeds. If something is found, the archaeological service may require a rescue excavation, adjust the position or depth of the foundations, or in the most serious cases prevent building altogether so the remains stay in place.

Two things follow. Timetables become uncertain, so a project that would take a year elsewhere can run much longer. And costs become uncertain, since investigation and excavation are chargeable and cannot be put out to tender. Build near the site and you need a contingency in both time and money that would look excessive anywhere else in Chalkidiki.

The Modern Village

The settlement itself is a plain, comfortable farming village: wide streets on a regular pattern, houses of one or two storeys with yards, tractors parked beside cars, a square with kafeneia and a scattering of shops. There is no protected architectural core and little a photographer would call picturesque, and prices reflect that honestly.

What the village does have is space and function. Plots inside the built-up area are generous by coastal standards, garages and outbuildings are normal, and the everyday infrastructure of a working community is present rather than seasonal. Buyers looking for postcard charm should look elsewhere in the interior; buyers looking for a solid house with land at a sane price are in the right place.

Micro-Locations In and Around Olynthos

Within the village what matters is proximity to the square, the width of the street and whether a plot backs onto open fields or onto other houses. An edge position gives views over the groves and the gulf beyond, at the cost of a longer walk to the bakery and, in places, dust from farm tracks.

Outside the village the ground divides sharply. South and west lie the flats, fertile and irrigated, where houses are rare and building tightly controlled. North and east the land rises towards the hills around Polygyros, drier and breezier. The archaeological zones cut across all of it, which is why parcel-level checking beats location instinct here.

Beaches Within Driving Distance

Olynthos is not on the sea, and it is important to be clear that no property here comes with a beach. What it has instead is unusual choice. The shallow sheltered water at Agios Mamas is the nearest, a few minutes away and popular with families. The long organised beaches and harbour town of Nea Moudania are a quarter of an hour distant.

Beyond them the western side of the Kassandra peninsula opens up within half an hour, and the clearer water of the Toroneos gulf around Gerakini is much the same. Owners here choose a beach by the wind rather than by distance, which beats being tied to one stretch of coast.

A Village With a Working Winter

Because the local economy is farming rather than tourism, the village runs at much the same pace in January as in July. Shops stay open, the school runs and tradespeople are available. That continuity is the main practical difference between buying here and buying in a resort village fifteen minutes away.

The seasonality that does exist is agricultural: ploughing and spraying in spring, harvest through the summer, olives from late autumn into winter. The village gets noisier and dustier at those times and field-road traffic rises sharply. A small price for a place that works all year, but worth knowing before you buy beside the grain store.

Shops, Schools, Healthcare and Connectivity

Everyday provision covers food, fuel, a pharmacy and the usual small businesses. For a supermarket, a bank branch or a wider choice of shops most households drive to Nea Moudania, close enough that the trip is unremarkable. That proximity to a real town is a quiet advantage over villages deeper in the interior.

Healthcare follows the same logic: local and regional primary care, with hospital provision reachable without a long journey and Thessaloniki within an hour for anything specialised. Broadband within the built-up area normally supports remote work, although service weakens once you are out among the fields, so run your own test at the address instead of trusting a coverage map.

Comparing Olynthos with Its Neighbours

Within the Polygyros area, Olynthos is the low-lying, gulf-facing option. Vatopedi lies further into the middle of the peninsula and trades the short beach run for a more central position. Galatista, away to the north-west, offers hill scenery and by far the shortest drive to Thessaloniki.

Go higher and the character changes completely: Vavdos on the western slopes and the forested country of Holomontas in the middle of Chalkidiki offer cool summers and hard winters at the cost of an hour's drive to the sea. If a short beach run is on your list, Olynthos wins that comparison outright; if altitude and forest matter more, it does not.

What Comes to Market Here

Three categories cover most of it. Village houses of one or two floors dating from the second half of the last century, sound in structure, plain in finish and normally accompanied by a yard and sheds. A handful of newer builds put up by returning families. And farmland, offered in parcels from a fraction of a hectare upwards, which accounts for most of what is advertised.

Renovation projects exist but are not the romantic stone shells of the upland villages: the typical case is a solid concrete or block house needing insulation, windows, wiring and bathrooms rather than structural rescue. That is cheaper and far more predictable, which is why the village suits buyers who want a usable house without a two-year programme.

The Price Gap with the Coast

The gap between here and the shoreline is the whole commercial logic of the village. Asking prices collected by Spitogatos for the second quarter of 2026 give the frame: about 3,000 euros the square metre in Sithonia, about 2,895 in Kassandra, about 2,513 across the Kallikratia stretch. Those numbers describe seafront and near-shore property, and village stock a quarter of an hour inland trades a long way underneath them. The Chalkidiki property market report explains what the figures do and do not cover.

Within the village itself, value tracks plot size, street width, the condition of the roof and services, and whether the property is inside the settlement boundary. On land outside it, one factor swamps everything else, and that is the combination of planning status and archaeological zone. Two adjoining fields can be worth very different sums for reasons entirely invisible from the road.

Rental Demand: Village Base, Coastal Guests

There is a real short-let market here, and it is different from the one on the coast. Guests are families and couples who want a house with a garden and parking, at half the coastal rate, and who are content to drive to the beach each morning. Visitors to the archaeological site and travellers breaking a journey add a little more, spread outside the peak weeks.

Gross yields of somewhere between 5.4 and 7.5 per cent get quoted for Chalkidiki, but the sample behind that range is small and drawn overwhelmingly from holiday property on the shore, so it should not be transplanted here without adjustment. A steadier alternative is letting long term to a local household, which the village supports precisely because it has a year-round economy. Either route works better with property management in place.

Olynthos as an Investment

As an income asset the village is modest but not negligible: low entry cost, low running cost and a letting market that does not depend entirely on eight weeks of summer. The weakness is liquidity. Buyers for a plain village house are not numerous, and a sale can take a full season or more even at a sensible figure.

The clearest way to add value here is to resolve uncertainty. A parcel whose archaeological zone and building terms have been established in writing, or a house whose unpermitted extension has been regularised and whose title has been cleared of absent heirs, moves out of the category that most buyers avoid. That work is unglamorous and it is where the margin actually sits.

Agricultural Land, Olives and Change of Use

Farming is the backbone of the local economy and agricultural parcels dominate what is offered for sale. Olives are the most visible crop, alongside cereals and irrigated field crops on the flats. Buying a field as a field is simple enough. Buying it in the expectation of turning it into a house plot is where people come unstuck.

Whether a parcel outside the settlement boundary can carry a dwelling depends on its registered area, on legal frontage to a recognised road, on its classification, on the forest maps and, here, on the archaeological zone as well. Any one of those can be decisive. Establish all five in writing before you negotiate, because the price you should pay for buildable land and the price you should pay for a field differ by a wide margin. Our guide to buying land in Greece describes the checks in sequence.

Owning farmland also carries duties. Groves need pruning and harvesting, irrigated ground needs its water arrangements maintained, and land left to itself becomes a nuisance to neighbouring farmers. Letting the parcel to a local grower is normal, straightforward and usually the sensible answer for an owner who is not there.

Building Plots and the Village Plan

Inside the settlement boundary the position is comparatively simple: defined building terms, services already in the street and a familiar permitting route, subject to whatever the archaeological zone imposes on that particular block. These plots are the least troublesome route to a new house in Olynthos and they are correspondingly sought after.

Outside the boundary, out-of-plan rules apply, with minimum areas, road frontage requirements and a smaller permitted envelope, and the cost of bringing power, water and a compliant drainage solution to the site has to be quoted rather than guessed. The land and building plots overview sets out how these rules operate across the prefecture.

A Holiday House Twenty Minutes from the Sand

This is the use that suits Olynthos best. For the price of a small apartment near a beach you can have a house with a yard, a garage, room for guests and a choice of four or five coastlines within half an hour. Families in particular tend to find that the drive is a small cost against the space and the quiet.

The design consequences are worth thinking through. Because the beach is not at the end of the street, the plot has to earn its keep: shade, a covered outdoor table, somewhere to rinse off, and for many buyers a pool. Test plot size, orientation and water supply against that ambition early on. There is fuller treatment of second homes under holiday home purchase in Greece.

Buying a Permanent Home

Olynthos works as a full-time base for people who value function over scenery. The village has services, the town is close, the airport is under an hour, the coast is a short drive and the cost of living is low. For families the schooling and the safe streets matter; for remote workers the connectivity and the airport matter; for both the price of a house with land is the decisive factor.

Before committing, check the things that are specific to a farming village: how close the property is to a working yard or grain store, whether the lane is used by tractors at dawn, what the drainage does in a wet winter and how the immediate neighbours use their land. Our overview of living in Chalkidiki covers the wider practicalities of settling in the region.

Retiring Beside the Gulf

For retired buyers the appeal here is the flat ground. Much of the village is level, which makes walking easy and keeps a house usable as mobility changes, and the drive to a hospital is short by the standards of inland Chalkidiki. The climate is warm and settled, with none of the winter severity of the upland villages.

Look for single-storey accommodation, level access from where the car stands, and a plot that can be kept tidy without machinery. Sort out residence registration, healthcare cover and how two tax systems will treat a pension well before the deed is signed; our guide to retiring in Greece outlines what needs to be arranged.

Golden Visa and Village Property

Chalkidiki is a 400,000 euro area under the Greek residence-by-investment rules, rather than one of the 800,000 euro zones that cover the largest cities and islands. The investment has to be concentrated in one property, that property must satisfy a minimum size, and it cannot be offered as a short-term let for as long as it underpins the permit. Amendments arrived with Law 5275/2026, so only the rules in force in your year of signature are relevant.

In practical terms, almost nothing in a farming village reaches that figure, and stretching to it by buying something unsuitable helps neither the application nor the investment. Where the permit is the objective, start from property already priced at that level, such as the listings under Golden Visa properties, and remember that a deed is not a permit. The framework is summarised in our Golden Visa Greece guide.

Legal Due Diligence Around a Protected Site

Retain a Greek lawyer of your own choosing and pay for that advice yourself. The notary who executes the deed performs a public function and represents neither side, so the only person examining the transaction in your interest is the one you have engaged. In Olynthos the instruction should be explicit that the archaeological position of the property forms part of the brief.

Alongside the standard work, tracing the chain of title, confirming that every owner can sell, checking for charges, claims and tax arrears and verifying the permit history, your lawyer should obtain the archaeological service's recorded position and confirm that no restriction has been registered against the property. There is a fuller account of that exercise under legal due diligence, while who does what in a Greek transaction is explained in lawyer, notary and land registry.

The Engineer's Report

Construction here is mostly reinforced concrete frame with block infill, which gives a predictable inspection list: concrete quality and corrosion where reinforcement sits close to the surface, the roof covering and its waterproofing, damp at ground level where no barrier was laid, and the age of wiring and plumbing.

The engineer should also measure what is standing against the permitted drawings. Yard buildings, extra rooms and covered terraces added over the years without paperwork are common in farming villages, and each has to be identified, priced for regularisation and reflected in the offer. Outside, ask for an opinion on how the plot drains, since the lower ground around the village can hold water.

Cadastre, Zoning and the Protected Perimeter

Four records must line up before a purchase here is safe. The cadastre, which says who owns what and where the boundary runs. The planning position, inside or outside the settlement boundary. The forest maps, which matter for scrub on the rising land. And the archaeological zoning, unique to this village among its neighbours.

Discrepancies are normal rather than exceptional. A fence may stand two metres inside the registered line, a parcel may have been divided informally between siblings, and a zone boundary may cross a field in a place nobody locally expects. All of these can be dealt with, but only before the deposit, while the seller still has an incentive to help.

Water, Irrigation and Drainage

Houses in the village take mains water, and the questions are the usual ones: live connection, transferable meter, no arrears and adequate pressure in August when everybody is watering. Out in the fields the picture is different. Irrigation here runs on boreholes and association networks, and rights to that water are specific, documented and valuable.

If a parcel comes with irrigation, establish exactly what the right consists of, who administers it, what it costs annually and whether it transfers with the land. If a house sits outside the village, check whether it is on mains drainage or a septic system, and have the system inspected rather than described. On flat, fertile ground with a high water table, a poorly built septic installation causes problems quickly.

Heating, Cooling and the Plain Climate

The climate here is milder in winter than the interior hills and hotter in summer than the exposed coast, because the village sits low and sheltered. That makes cooling as much of a design question as heating. Shade, cross-ventilation, shutters and a well-insulated roof do more for August comfort than any amount of air conditioning bolted on afterwards.

Winter heating is typically oil, a heat pump or a wood stove, and demand is moderate rather than severe. Even so, most village housing was built with no insulation at all, and the improvement that pays for itself fastest is the roof followed by the glazing. The energy performance certificate should be on the table at the viewing, and a poor grade is a legitimate lever in the negotiation.

Farm Neighbours: Spraying, Burning and Machinery

Living among working farmland brings things that no listing mentions. Crops are sprayed, and if your garden adjoins a treated field you will know it. Prunings and stubble are burned in the permitted seasons, which produces smoke and, in dry conditions, a real fire risk at the field margins. Machinery works long hours at harvest, including at night.

None of this is a reason to avoid the village, but it should inform which property you buy. Ask what is grown on the adjoining land and how it is managed, look at how close the crop comes to the boundary, and keep the ground immediately around any building clear of dry growth. Landowners in Greece have a legal duty to maintain that clearance, and insurers take an interest in whether it has been done.

Roads, Farm Traffic and Parking

Find out at the outset how the property actually meets the road network, and whether that connection crosses ground belonging to someone else. The lanes around the village mix public routes, agricultural tracks and private access, and a way that has been used for generations but never registered is a defect that resurfaces at resale.

Parking is rarely a difficulty inside the village, where streets are wide and most houses have a yard, which is a pleasant contrast with the coastal settlements. What you should look at instead is farm traffic: whether the lane is a route for tractors and trailers in the harvest weeks, and whether the surface is metalled or turns to dust in July and mud in December.

Viewing a Property Here

Try to see anything serious twice, once in the working day and once at a weekend, and if you can manage it once during the olive harvest. Walk the plot boundaries and note what borders them, because the neighbouring use matters more here than the house itself. Look at where water would run in a downpour and whether the ground at the bottom of the plot shows signs of standing wet.

Ask the seller directly about the archaeological position, and treat the answer as a starting point for verification rather than as information. Photograph the roof, the meter cupboards, the yard buildings and the access from the road in both directions, since your engineer will want to see those before agreeing to a survey visit.

Buying from Abroad

Owning here does not require living in Greece. You will need a Greek tax registration, in most cases a Greek bank account, and, where you cannot be present at the signing, a mandate drafted by your own lawyer that is limited to the specific property and a stated maximum price. Getting these under way early is what allows a purchase to move at the seller's pace rather than yours.

Do not buy unseen. Photographs cannot convey how close the nearest working yard is, what the summer heat feels like on a sheltered plot, or how the field beyond the fence is used. If travel really cannot be arranged, commission your own engineer to attend rather than leaning on the agent's photographs. Our page for foreign buyers in Greece runs through the steps in order.

Purchase Costs Beyond the Price

What you agree with the seller is only part of what you spend. Behind it come the tax on the transfer, the notary, the registry or cadastre entry, your solicitor, the engineer's inspection and paperwork and the agency fee, several of them calculated against official value rather than the sum you hand over.

Two lines are peculiar to this village: ground investigation before building, which is chargeable and open-ended, and regularising the farm and yard structures that so often lack paperwork. Refuse any blanket ratio. The aggregate stays below ten per cent of the price but has to be priced for your own case. The calculation of each item appears in our notes on costs and taxes.

Financing the Purchase

A habitable village house with clean paperwork is financeable in principle, which puts Olynthos ahead of the upland villages in the eyes of a Greek lender. Agricultural land, and anything with an unresolved archaeological or planning question, generally is not, because a bank wants security it could sell on quickly.

Non-resident applicants should expect documented income requirements, a bank valuation, a Greek account and a conservative loan-to-value ratio, and should allow real time for the process. A common alternative is to borrow at home against a familiar asset and complete here without a loan. Lending appetite in Greece is examined in our notes on mortgages and financing in Greece.

Ownership Structure and Joint Buyers

Decide before signature whose name goes on the deed, because unwinding it later means a fresh transfer and a fresh set of costs. Sole ownership, joint ownership, including adult children and holding through a company each carry different tax and succession consequences, and the interaction between Greek rules and those of your home country is where the surprises live.

Greek succession law governs immovable property situated in Greece regardless of where the owner lives, so a will drafted elsewhere should be reviewed against it. Where relatives or friends are contributing jointly, put the shares and the exit terms in writing at the outset rather than relying on goodwill that may not survive a change of circumstances.

Offer, Contract and Completion

Negotiation in a farming village tends to be unhurried and factual. Asking prices are often round numbers set some years ago, and an offer that sets out its reasoning, whether that is the roof, the missing right of way or the cost of archaeological investigation on a plot, carries more weight than a percentage discount asserted without explanation.

Thereafter the machinery is the same as everywhere in Greece: lawyer instructed and title examined, engineer's inspection, a preliminary agreement fixing the deposit and the dates, the tax number and banking put in place, and the deed drawn and executed before the notary with transfer tax settled. Only once the deed has been entered in the registry or the cadastre is your title good against the world. Every stage is walked through in our property buying process guide.

Keeping a House Between Visits

A closed house in a warm agricultural setting has its own failure modes. Dust gets everywhere in the dry months, insects and rodents move in from the fields, gutters fill with olive leaves, and an unwatered garden looks abandoned by the end of August, which is not a message you want to send in a village.

Arrange for somebody local to hold keys, walk through monthly and deal with small things before they become large ones. The opening weeks of ownership also bring paperwork: electricity and water into your name, the annual property tax registration, the municipality informed of the change, and a policy running from the date of signature and not from your next visit.

Renovation and New Build in a Sensitive Area

Improving an existing house here is generally straightforward. Insulation, glazing, rewiring, bathrooms and a new roof covering on a sound concrete frame is familiar work with a predictable price, and local trades are available without the seasonal scarcity of the mountain villages.

Building from nothing is another matter, and the archaeological question has to be closed before anything else begins. After that, retain a supervising engineer whose duty runs to you and not to the contractor, settle drawings and a specification, release money only against work actually finished, and allow a generous margin in the programme. The wider pitfalls of building from scratch are set out under off-plan and new-build purchases.

Insuring a Village Property

The risks worth insuring here are fire spreading from field margins, storm and hail damage, water escape, and theft from a property that is visibly unoccupied. Greek policies include earthquake protection as a matter of course, and dropping it would be false economy. Where a house is surrounded by cultivated land, insurers will want to know how the boundary is maintained.

Tell the insurer honestly how often the house is used, because most policies restrict cover on a property left empty beyond a stated period, and comply with any conditions imposed. Base the sum insured on what rebuilding would cost rather than on what the house is worth, since in a low-priced village those two numbers are not the same.

Resale: the Next Buyer

Your likely purchaser is a local family wanting more space, a Thessaloniki household after an affordable base near the sea, or a foreign buyer who has done the same arithmetic you did. None will pay a premium for charm, because the village does not trade on it, and all will discount heavily for uncertainty.

What sells here is a clear deed, a settled archaeological and planning position, registered access, structures that match their permits and a house that has been kept in order. Set the price on evidence rather than aspiration, and given how few comparable sales there are, an independent property valuation is worth having before you go to market.

Mistakes Buyers Make in Olynthos

The costliest error is buying land near the ancient city on the assumption that a house can follow, without a written position from the archaeological service. Close behind it come paying building-land money for a field that has no road frontage, missing an unregistered right of access, and taking a seller's word about an extension that never had a permit.

The gentler mistakes are about expectations. Buying here while really wanting to be on the water, and then resenting the drive. Underestimating how loud and dusty harvest is. Choosing the plot beside the grain store because it was cheapest. Assuming a house left shut for eight months will be as you left it. A second visit and a few direct questions prevent nearly all of them.

How We Work with Buyers Here

Most of our value in Olynthos lies in the checking. We can tell you early which parcels are realistically buildable and which are not, which houses have title issues that will take a year to unpick, and which asking prices reflect a family's hopes rather than the market. That filtering is what stops a search consuming a summer.

It helps if you tell us plainly what the property is for, how much land you actually want to look after, whether you need to build or would take a finished house, and how much of the year you will be here. The lawyers, engineers and surveyors we introduce are independent and instructed by you directly. Tell us what you are after through a free consultation.

Olynthos Buyer Checklist

Take this list to every viewing and complete it before any deposit is paid. Several entries exist because of the archaeological designation and have no equivalent in a neighbouring village.

• Obtain the archaeological service's written position for the specific parcel before negotiating.
• Establish which protective zone the land falls within and what it permits.
• Budget time and money for ground investigation if you intend to build.
• Confirm whether the property lies inside or outside the settlement boundary.
• Check the forest map classification of any scrub or rising ground included in the sale.
• Verify legal frontage to a recognised road, and whether any access right is registered.
• Compare the cadastral boundary with the fences and walls on the ground.
• Identify every owner and confirm that inheritance has been formally accepted.
• Set what is physically built against the approved drawings and cost any regularisation.
• Ask what is grown on the adjoining land and how close spraying comes to the boundary.
• Look at where surface water collects on the plot after heavy rain.
• Establish whether irrigation rights exist, what they cost and whether they transfer.
• Inspect the septic system if the property is not on mains drainage.
• Read the energy performance certificate and cost the summer cooling as well as the winter heating.
• Measure the actual connection speed where your desk would stand.
• Drive to the beaches you would actually use, at a weekend in high season.

All of it sits inside the national procedure set out in the complete guide to buying property in Greece.
