Buying & Golden Visa

Alimos lies within the Attica region, where Greece's Golden Visa requires a minimum €800,000 investment in a single property. Many Alimos homes fall below that level, so entry apartments suit owner-occupiers and rental investors, while larger or combined high-value properties can meet the threshold. Capital-gains tax on resale remains suspended for individuals through 31 December 2026. Buy Greece LLC guides buyers through the full process.
