Is It Worth Buying Property in Piraeus?<\/h1>\n

Yes, if you want a Golden Visa home or rental close to Athens and connected to the metro and the sea; lower prices per square metre than central Athens and two metro lines are Piraeus\u2019s strengths.<\/strong> Piraeus is Greece\u2019s largest port and the main gateway to the Aegean islands; it is the terminus of Athens metro Line 1, and since 2022 Line 3 has also reached Piraeus. Because Piraeus is in Attica, the Golden Visa thresholds are the same as in Athens: \u20ac250,000 for conversion projects and \u20ac800,000 for other homes. According to the Bank of Greece, flat prices in the Athens area rose 5.0% year on year in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

Announced, not law yet.<\/strong> Greece has announced that the property transfer tax on homes bought by individuals who are nationals of countries outside the European Union will rise from 3% to 15%; the announced start date is 1 July 2027 and Turkish citizens fall within its scope. The measure is not law yet, and the scope and exemptions can change. The detail and what it means in figures are on our the cost of buying a home in Greece<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n
