This time, I'm the one being interviewed. International real estate coach Tom Panos (@tom_panos) took over as host for this episode and asked me the exact questions his global network of agents and investors want answered about buying property in Greece.

From "why Greece, why now" to the real cost of buying, financing options for foreign buyers, and the biggest mistakes international investors make — this episode goes deep into what it actually takes to invest in the Greek property market.

🇬🇷 Αυτή τη φορά, εγώ είμαι αυτός που απαντάει στις ερωτήσεις. Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο, ο διεθνής real estate coach Tom Panos (@tom_panos) πήρε τη θέση του παρουσιαστή και μου έθεσε τα ερωτήματα που απασχολούν περισσότερο το διεθνές του κοινό σχετικά με την αγορά ακινήτων στην Ελλάδα.

Από το «γιατί Ελλάδα, γιατί τώρα» μέχρι το πραγματικό κόστος αγοράς, τις επιλογές χρηματοδότησης για ξένους αγοραστές και τα πιο συνηθισμένα λάθη των διεθνών επενδυτών, η συζήτηση μπαίνει βαθιά στην ουσία της επένδυσης στην ελληνική αγορά ακινήτων.

🇬🇧 In this episode of Inside Greek Real Estate, I sit down with John Thompsen, an American artist who moved to Greece and, together with his business partner Theo Kalomirakis, turned a property into something truly unique — a private home featuring its own outdoor summer cinema AND a professional indoor screening room.

We talk about why he chose Greece, what the buying process looked like as a foreign buyer, and how a simple property purchase evolved into a full creative vision.

If you've ever wondered what's possible when passion meets real estate in Greece, this episode is for you.

🇬🇷 Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο του Inside Greek Real Estate, μιλάω με τον John Thompsen, Αμερικανό καλλιτέχνη που μετακόμισε στην Ελλάδα και, μαζί με τον συνεργάτη του Theo Kalomirakis, μετέτρεψε ένα ακίνητο σε κάτι πραγματικά μοναδικό — μια ιδιωτική κατοικία με δικό της καλοκαιρινό υπαίθριο σινεμά ΚΑΙ επαγγελματική εσωτερική αίθουσα προβολής.

Μιλήσαμε για το γιατί επέλεξε την Ελλάδα, πώς ήταν η διαδικασία αγοράς ως ξένος αγοραστής, και πώς μια απλή αγορά ακινήτου έγινε ένα ολόκληρο δημιουργικό όραμα.

What do international buyers really need to know before purchasing property in Greece?

In Episode 2 of Inside Greek Real Estate, host Peter Giannakis, MRICS — Managing Director of PMD Real Estate Network on the Athens Riviera — sits down with two of the professionals foreign investors rely on most: accountant Costas Chios Chartoularis and lawyer Christoforos Karvelis.

Together they break down the legal, tax and residency realities of buying in Greece — the questions every international buyer asks, and several they don't think to ask until it's too late.

In this episode:
• The biggest legal mistakes foreign buyers make, and the checks that prevent them
• What's actually changed with the €250,000 Golden Visa threshold — and what it means if you already hold one
• How proof of funds, family ownership structures and cross-border transfers really work
• Inheritance, Greek wills, and what happens to a property when a foreign owner passes away
• Short term rentals and working rights for Golden Visa holders
• Greece's non-dom regime, digital nomad incentives and pensioner tax breaks — and how Greece compares to Portugal and Italy
• The taxes to expect at purchase, annually, and on rental income
• The banking and registration steps that quietly delay most foreign buyers

Whether you're investing, relocating, or buying a lifestyle home on the Athens Riviera, this conversation gives you the legal and tax foundation to move with confidence.
