After breaking tourism records in 2023, the Greek islands are at a fever pitch this summer, with even more visitors expected this year. And as travellers flock to its famed beaches and line up outside souvlaki spots in the peak season, brokers are tied up with wealthy clients looking for vacation homes to extend their island idyll year-round.
Despina Laou, head of the Greece Sotheby’s International Realty private office, says there’s a marked increase in enquiries and interest from potential buyers during and after their summer holidays. “It’s common for those inquires to turn into actual purchases in the months following the peak season,” she says, noting the majority of buyers are coming from Greece, the US and Switzerland.
