Kathimerini published a feature on Greece’s rising profile among international audiences, linking retirement relocation trends with the continued strengthening of the country’s luxury real estate market.
In the article, the publication reports that Germany’s RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland ranks Greece as the leading retirement destination globally, citing lifestyle advantages, affordability, healthcare quality, and targeted tax incentives. It also references analysis from Handelsblatt on the growing demand for Greek high-end homes, driven by international buyers and supported by Greece’s improving economic stability and investment-friendly frameworks.
The coverage also draws on Greece Sotheby’s International Realty’s proprietary market report, Voices of Affluence, which examines ultra-high-net-worth buyer behavior and transaction-led insights across Greece’s prime destinations.
As noted in the article, Savvas Savvaidis, President & CEO of Greece Sotheby’s International Realty, emphasizes that Greece has progressed from a niche market into a destination increasingly positioned alongside mature Mediterranean competitors.
The piece highlights sustained momentum in prime locations such as the Cyclades and the Athenian Riviera, supported by infrastructure upgrades and international accessibility, and reflects a broader shift in buyer motivations—toward lifestyle quality, authenticity, and long-term confidence.
