Greece, together with the other countries of the European South, will receive more and more Northern Europeans. It is certain that Northern Europeans (working people/digital nomads, retirees etc) will want to acquire a property, either for permanent stay or for holidays. This fact, of course, is expected to push up property prices. So it would be good to look carefully at the existing accents on real estate.

Another motivation for acquiring real estate in Kefalonia, is that by buying a house in Greece, a non-European can obtain one of the most affordable so-called Golden Visas in Europe. The plan enables investors from non-EU countries to acquire Greek residence through the purchase of real estate with a minimum value of 250,000 euros. The application process should not take more than two months, after which the residence permit lasts for five years. Holders of Greek residency, benefit not only from the right to reside and work in Greece, which extends to family members but also from visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, which covers most of the EU.

The good weather, the endless sunshine, the mild climate, the excellent cuisine and the friendly locals, are a great lure that will make many people to change their lives.
