Ithaki Villas: New Development for sale in Ithaki, Ionian Islands, Greece

Ithaki is a unique place in many ways. The vegetation embraces the numerous beaches while scattered houses emerge here and there. Its numerous high and not so high hills within a small area, create breathtaking views and a dramatic landscape. Its small size and relative difficulty in access discourage mass tourism and development in a big scale. All the villages have changed very little through time and the houses have to follow by law the traditional characteristics of the area. It is the visitor seeking privacy, contact with nature and old traditions, who is rewarded most.The intimacy and picturesque nature convey to the visitor the feeling of its history. Situated in the centre of the Ionian Sea, Ithaki offers a great advantage in exploring the neighbouring islands.With a small boat, it is only a matter of half an hour away, to reach many beaches, some of which are considered among the best in Greece.

The Real Estate prices have been steadily increasing through the years. Ag. Saranta is a very small village in the North of Ithaki. It consists of appx 20 houses most of them very old made of stone. It sits right in the middle of Afales bay overlooking the island of Lefkas. The houses are within the boundary of Ag. Saranta village. They are being built on a piece of land 401sqm. Every house is 95-100sqm with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and open plan kitchen-dining room-living room. The biggest advantage is the view which is prominent from almost all areas of the houses, besides the garden. All houses have a permit to be rented legally which can be done when not in use, as there is a storage of places to stay, particularly during peak season in relative high prices.

GoldAcre Estates Greece, More Than Just Another Estate Agent

Homes for sale in Greece

According to an international survey in the next couple of years it is estimated that over 1 million vacation homes will be bought in Greece by foreigners. This means that over 150 billion euros will be pumped into the economy. It is expected that the bulk of the investors will be from Great Britain.

In the last year, and despite the irregularities in the world economy, it is estimated that over 35,000 pieces of real estate properties were purchased by British nationals abroad.
Greek Real Estate has no fears, the banks continue to have a steady cash flow and lend money out to investors of status with low interest rates. Greece has many types of real estate properties on the market, and with this in mind investors will find just what they are looking for and in the location they desire.

Tourism in Greece is the steady factor for growth and development, and it is something that the government has invested a lot of money into, in my opinion well spent euros.
We must note that Greece offers some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. There are over 2,500 islands, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, ski resorts, the traditional villages and the modern cities, the archeological sites that are all over this country, and let’s not forget the food.

In Greece we have a saying “Buy land it is money in the bank”. In my opinion it is a wise saying, property never loses its value especially when the property is in Greece.
