Greece
Greece is a popular destination for holidays but barely registers on the overseas property map. There are some justifiable explanations for this such as problems of land ownership, legal structure and transfer tax, but these issues are easily surmountable with the right guidance.

After the success of the 2004 Olympics, Greece is raising its tourism profile beyond cheap holidays in the sun and aiming for better quality and including residential tourism. The Greek mainland, in particular, will see increased interest from international property buyers because:
• Good accessibility through the new Athens airport
• Stable euro-based economy with low inflation and interest rates
• Secure destination
• Untapped opportunities

The Peloponnese
The southern peninsula of Greece is rich in history both ancient and modern: it is the home of the ancient cities of Mycenae, Sparta and Corinth as well as Olympia, the famous site of the original Games and location of the shot putt competition in the Modern Games of 2004; the fight for independence from 450 years of Ottoman rule started in the Peloponnisos mountains in 1821; and in the Second World War this was the centre of fierce resistance to the German invasion with villages suffering from severe reprisals.

Today, in addition to these historic sites, visitors can explore the medieval town of Monemvasia, the Byzantine city of Mystras, the rack-and-pinion railway up to the ski resort of Kilavrita and the wild and barren southern peninsular of Mani.

Porto Heli
Argolida is the eastern region of the Peloponnese across the Saronic Gulf from Athens and the port of Piraeus. Porto Heli is a seaside village on the southern shore of Argolida which can be reached by car on the mainland (two hours from Athens airport) or by high speed boat from Piraeus.

This picturesque village clusters round its beautiful natural harbour and backs onto the saltwater lake of Ververoda. Nearby villages include Kosta and Ermioni with ferry links to the islands of Spetses and Hydra.

The area is very popular for summer holidays for Athenians and there is a small, growing community of foreign tourists and ex-pats.
