Deutsche Welle | RND: Foreign pensioners prefer Greece

Deutsche Welle (DW) featured Greece Sotheby’s International Realty in a report examining Greece’s accelerating rise as a destination for international relocation and high-end property investment.

The article references analysis from Handelsblatt, which highlights the growing strength of Greece’s luxury residential sector and the increasing interest from affluent international buyers, supported by fiscal incentives such as the non-dom regime, the retiree tax framework, and the continued momentum of the Golden Visa program.

DW includes remarks by Savvas Savvaidis, President & CEO of Greece Sotheby’s International Realty, noting that Greece has moved beyond its former “emerging market” status and is now positioned alongside leading Mediterranean markets, with pricing and demand patterns increasingly comparable to destinations such as Mallorca, Tuscany, and other established European hotspots.

The coverage points to sustained demand in key locations—including the Cyclades and the Athenian Riviera—supported by strong international connectivity and major urban transformation projects like Ellinikon.

It also underscores that today’s buyers are driven less by opportunistic value and more by authenticity, lifestyle aspirations, and long-term security—a shift that signals the market’s new maturity.
