As global mobility reshapes the priorities of investors and families alike, Greece has quietly emerged as one of Europe’s most compelling destinations for real estate investment and strategic relocation. At the centre of this shift is Velment, a real estate and migration advisory firm led by Yiannos Trisokkas, a long-standing figure in international residency planning.
With a focus on the intersection of lifestyle and investment, Velment has positioned itself as a key player in the Greek property landscape, particularly among High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) looking to secure both tangible returns and international access. As Greece strengthens its residency-by-investment programmes and enhances its tax framework, the country has become an attractive option for those pursuing both financial optimisation and personal freedom.
‘Mobility is today’s greatest luxury,’ says Yiannos Trisokkas. ‘Whether in combination with a Golden Visa or on its own, investing in a home in Greece makes it that much easier to spend regular holidays in a beautiful destination, or to work remotely in a country that balances affordability and a great lifestyle with an enviable quality of life.’
The Greek Golden Visa programme remains one of the most competitive in Europe, offering permanent residency to non-EU nationals who invest a minimum of €250,000 ($291,529) in real estate. But beyond this migration incentive, Greece’s appeal is increasingly tied to its broader non-domicile tax regime, which has drawn interest from retirees and global citizens alike.
Yiannos Trisokkas explains that many of the High-Net-Worth Individuals migrating to Greece are doing so with retirement in mind, particularly to take advantage of the country’s favourable tax regulations. He notes that pensioners can benefit from a flat income tax rate of just 7%, and that non-domiciled individuals relocating their tax residence to Greece have already contributed over €106.5 million ($124 million) in real estate investments through the non-dom programme alone.
This strategic tax framework, coupled with lifestyle benefits, is fuelling a new wave of demand for Greek properties. Velment’s team caters to this demand by advising clients on real estate opportunities that align with both migration compliance and long-term capital appreciation. From seaside developments to urban residences, the firm’s portfolio reflects a mix of lifestyle appeal and investment logic.
While tourism and retirement continue to drive interest, the remote work era has introduced a new demographic: professionals and digital nomads seeking a European base that offers both high quality of life and reliable digital infrastructure. With its favourable climate, cost of living, and expanding network of coworking spaces and fibre connectivity, Greece has become an increasingly attractive option for location-independent workers and globally mobile professionals.
‘There is no better feeling than enjoying an idealistic lifestyle in a calming environment, whilst purchasing a property that will ensure you receive endless financial benefits, offer attractive returns and the prospect of future capital gains,’ Yiannos Trisokkas adds.
As international mobility becomes increasingly central to lifestyle and investment decisions, Greece continues to gain ground as a destination that blends practical advantages with long-term value. For Yiannos Trisokkas and the team at Velment, the focus remains on helping clients turn cross-border ambitions into structured, strategic outcomes. With the right guidance, investing in Greece is more than a financial move. It’s a step toward a more flexible, future-ready way of life.
