Location

Porto Rafti is a seaside town in the Markopoulo municipality on the east coast of Attica, with sandy bays such as Avlaki and a summer and weekend population from Athens. The developer gives about 10 minutes to Athens International Airport. For the wider area, read our Attica buyer’s guide.

Golden Visa

Porto Rafti is in the €800,000 tier of Law 5100/2024: the amount must go into one home of at least 120 m² of main living space, and a home bought for the Golden Visa cannot be let short term. Garden villa and Pool villa are under 120 m². Buying off-plan for the Golden Visa needs a specific contract structure, so confirm it with a Greek lawyer before you commit.

Costs on top of the price

On top of the price, plan for a 3.09% transfer tax plus notary, lawyer and registry fees of about 2.3% to 3.7%. New builds are usually sold with 24% VAT instead of the transfer tax unless the developer suspends it, which is possible until 31 December 2026, so ask which applies here. In total, budget about 5% to 7% on top of the price without an agent’s commission, or 8% to 10% with one, and a yearly property tax (ENFIA) from the first year. Each step is in our guide to buying property in Greece.

Renting it out

Asking rents in Attica outside Athens and Piraeus averaged €10.00 per m² a month (Spitogatos, Q2 2026), a useful starting point for a long let; new and sea-view homes can ask more. Short lets are allowed with an AMA registration number and the safety standards in force since 1 October 2025, but not on a home bought for the Golden Visa. The developer offers a managed short-let programme with stated payments of up to $1,000 a month for garden villas and $1,500 for pool villas, with maintenance included. These are the developer’s terms, so ask for the contract before relying on them. Rental income is taxed at 15% up to €12,000 a year, rising in bands to 45% above €36,000 (Law 5246/2025).

Buying from abroad

Americans and other non-EU buyers can buy here in their own name: Porto Rafti is not a border area under Law 1892/1990, so no special permit is needed. You need a Greek tax number (AFM), a Greek bank account, your own lawyer for the title, permit and tax checks, and a notary; a power of attorney lets you complete without flying. A 15% transfer tax for non-EU individual buyers was announced in September 2026 for 1 July 2027 but is not yet law. More in our guide on whether Americans can buy property in Greece.
