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.

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.

New Website for Finding Greek Homes Launched by GoldAcre Estates

A new website has just been launched for finding real estate in Greece, at www.goldacreestatesgreece.com.

GoldAcre Estates is proud to announce the launch of its new website for finding Greek homes, at www.goldacreestatesgreece.com. Shrewd investors have long seen real estate in Greece as an opportunity. But now, Greece is emerging as the new destination for holiday and retirement homes. It is anticipated that the real estate market in Greece will experience exponential growth in the coming years.
"Though the recent slump in property markets along with the rise in euro interbank interest rates has caused alarm in many European countries, real estate in Greece is in much better shape than its Spanish and UK counterparts," says John Goldacre, Managing Director for GoldAcre Estates. "The time is right to fully exploit the opportunities that Greece has to offer."
The Greek market place is very consumer orientated which will be one of the drivers of the Greek homes market in the future. Greek families hold huge land banks that have been amassed over many years and it is anticipated that these will start to be released. In addition to this, Greek families and communities that are spread throughout the world such as the United States and Australia are starting to realize the value of the property that has been held in their families for generations.
GoldAcre Estates, one of the leading Canary Island Real Estate companies, has recognized the long term opportunity that Greece has to offer, as it has been involved in real estate in Greece for more than 8 years.
"Greece offers some of the most diverse beauty that can be found anywhere, with over 2,500 islands, ski resorts and some of the most beautiful beaches and coves that can be found not only in Europe, but the world," says Goldacre. "Together with the ancient monuments and history make Greece an irresistible place for a permanent vacation home, investment or place to retire."
GoldAcre Estates’ new site, www.goldacreestatesgreece.com, is a comprehensive site that not only includes up-to-the-minute property listings, but the latest Google map technology and tourist information. The property information is identified by region, covering the whole of mainland Greece including the individual islands and ski resorts.
Greece is well served by many airlines. There is also an abundance of charter airlines that serve destinations throughout Greece both in the summer and winter months.
Elena Panagopoulou has been named new Operations Manager in Greece, charged with implementing GoldAcre Estates’ total customer satisfaction policy.
Crete is already experiencing a building boom by the Cyprus based developers. In other regions of Greece, European development companies are building a mixture of quality properties that offer excellent value for the money. The main difference with the Greek real estate, says Goldacre, is that it is sustainable.
"The Greek homes market is no flash in the pan. Buyers will experience continual and steady growth over years to come because of factors like flight accessibility, European support and inward investment by the Greek government. Greece’s short winter makes it an ideal place for retirement and vacation homes. And, with the diversity of property and locations, it ensures that the Greek real estate market is the marketplace of the future."
