Real Estate

In spite of financial turmoil more and more people want to escape the wet, the cold, the greyness, the control, the neighbours from hell, high stealth taxes, motorways, traffic jams etc, etc, etc. Some just don’t have the opportunity, the cash and let it be said, the courage to do so.

For those lucky enough – or are courageous enough – Skopelos might just be the place you’re looking for. Traditional old houses in the town where  you can live Greek village life to the full or a renovated traditional kalivi in the middle of a peaceful olive grove or then again a modern villa with pool and fantastic views over the Aegean watching the sun set over an icy cold G & T. It’s all here – the choice is yours. It is easier and simpler to buy property in Greece than it is in most Northern European countries. Particulalry on Skopelos where all the necessary offices, lawyers and officials are so close together – paper work can be completed in literally a couple of days.

As long as you deal with reputable agencies the days of the rip-off are gone. You can still find the chancers stalking the cafes and tavernas for unsuspecting victims – don’t be one of them.
