Housing prices in Athens continue to rise steadily, confirming the city’s strong investment potential. According to data from Spitogatos, in the third quarter of 2025, property prices in central Athens increased by 27.4%, while in rapidly developing districts such as Drapetsona, Perama, and Peristeri, growth ranged from 22% to 26%. Across Greece, prices rose by 10% on average, and rental rates by 7.2%, reflecting sustained demand from both buyers and tenants.
Southern suburbs of Athens remain particularly sought after, offering new residential complexes, waterfront areas, and well-developed infrastructure for expats. They are followed by the Cyclades and northern suburbs, which traditionally attract high-net-worth investors.
Experts note that Athens is increasingly becoming a magnet for international capital thanks to a combination of moderate prices compared to other EU capitals, strong tourism flows, and the steady development of the construction sector. The Golden Visa program and tax incentives for foreign investors further boost interest in the Greek property market.
With annual price growth of 25–30% and a persistent shortage of quality housing, Athens ranks among the most profitable real estate investment destinations in Southern Europe, offering both rapid capital appreciation and stable rental returns.
