Athens, one of the most popular locations for Golden Visa investors in Greece, has seen double digit house price growth in 2025, analysis from investment immigration firm Astons shows.
In Central Athens a Q1 2025 average property price of €2,317 per sqm marks an annual increase of 11.8% compared to Q1 2024.
In the area the average monthly rent price for an 80 sqm home stands at €892 which, measured against the average property price, creates an average rental yield of 5.8%.
Denis Kravchenko, business development director of Astons, said: “The Greek property market is strong and steady and the capital city of Athens is particularly reliable for property investors who want good year-round returns rather than the spikes and dips associated with the more tourism-reliant parts of Greece.
“Investors will be pleased to see Athens’s market growing in a well-paced manner, steadily rising yet absent of any alarming surges or spikes.
“Greece has now firmly established itself as one of the most attractive property investment markets in the world, winning investors over with widespread infrastructure modernisation, impressive urban development schemes, and enthusiastic government support for foreign and expat investors.
“All of this promises to bring a whole new level of prosperity to the county.”
The rest of Attica (outside the main Athens area and its immediate suburbs) has an average yield of 5.4%, while Piraeus, the Piraeus Suburbs, and West Athens all have an average yield of 5%.
East Athens, where the average price now stands at €2,281 per sqm, has seen an annual increase of 9.5%, while the West and South of the city have seen increases of 9.3% and 9.2% respectively.
