Should I buy or rent a home in Athens?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Athens, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Athens can be a great investment, as the city is a popular tourist destination and the real estate market is growing. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Athens, as well as the cost of purchasing a home. Renting a home in Athens can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to enjoy the city without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting a home in Athens can provide you with more flexibility, as you can move to a different area of the city or even a different city if you choose. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Athens should be based on your individual needs and budget," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Athens, Greece.
