Greece in the centre of the 'Global Golf Map'

For many years, Greece's golfers had a limited number of courses from which to choose, Glyfada in Athens, Rhodes, Corfu and Crete. Two new courses were created, one at Porto Carras in Halkidiki and another one in Crete and their success proved the need for more golf courses throughout Greece.

At the moment major golf resort, residential and leisure-integrated real estate projects getting underway in Greece and within the next five years Greece will boast an additional 10 major golf destinations may be even more.

Greece is becoming the centre of attention in the international investment community and business people beleive that now is the perfect time for Greece to be upon the 'global golf map' after years of neglect. Numerous projects are proceeding spurred on by the new legislation, the locations available and the strong interest by the current Greek government. Also taking into consideration that more than 200,000 visitors to Greece annually are potential golf tourists, the advantages in climatic conditions and the natural beauty of Greece makes it easy to understand the reasons that can make it one of the favourite destinations of golfers around the world. Exciting courses at spectacular locations will turn Greece into Europe's 'number one' holiday and retirement home market now that golf is gaining more lovers rapidly on a worldwide scale, and has come to be appreciated as a most beneficial physical activity.

The stock market is taking a plunge, interest rates are or will follow, and Real Estate is seeing a part of this effect. But, what are the experts saying? For those who bailed out on the stock market the answer is quite clear, they should have stayed. This is not the worse; in 1987 the Dow Jones fell an astonishing 22.6% in one day! So we are doing fine and stocks will go up, and for those who can buy, now is the time to do it. We all need to think positive. In real estate the same advice applies.
