The Golden Opportunity of Golden Americans and the Greek Golden Visa



When affluent Americans seek quality of life, stability, and luxury, they turn their gaze towards Greece – no longer just for vacations, but for permanent settlement.



You wake up with a view of the Saronic Gulf, drink your coffee in a jasmine-filled courtyard, and the word "charge" only refers to your phone – not your daily life. In the afternoon, you go down to the marina, take your boat, and soon you are at one of the wonderful nearby islands. In the evening, from your terrace, you gaze at the Acropolis while drinking wine with friends.

For an ever-increasing number of Americans, this is not just fantasy or an advertising image – it is the new daily life, the new American dream in terms of well-being. Greece, with its Golden Visa program, competitive property prices, and Mediterranean lifestyle, is becoming an investment and experiential haven for those seeking not only returns but also quality of life.



🇺🇸 The New Flow of Affluent Investors from the USA

According to data from Kathimerini newspaper:

  • 64,700 millionaires

  • 105 individuals with assets over $100 million

  • 8 billionaires already reside in Greece

A record inflow of high net worth individuals, mainly from the USA and Britain, is expected in 2025.

The data recently presented by the international firm Henley & Partners is also impressive:
The Greek Golden Visa program ranks
1st worldwide in reliability, even surpassing the Swiss program.
Its score: 73/100

Until a few years ago, America was not even among the top countries for applications. Today, almost 50% of new Golden Visa applications come from Americans, clearly showing the shift in interest.



📍 Where Do Americans Invest?

American investors mainly choose:

  • Southern Suburbs (Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni – Athenian Riviera): Mediterranean lifestyle, luxury, sea

  • Northern Suburbs (Kifisia, Psychiko, Filothei): greenery, tranquility, and high-quality properties

  • Athens City Center (Pangrati, Koukaki, Kolonaki, Lycabettus): ideal for city-living and Airbnb investments

  • Piraeus: developing market, connection to islands, regeneration projects

They prefer:

  • Luxury apartments

  • Villas with sea views

  • Properties with historical/cultural value

  • Holiday homes in areas with a mild climate




💡 What Attracts Them?

Greece offers a set of advantages that are hard to find elsewhere:

  • Golden Visa with just €250,000 investment – the most affordable in Europe

  • Quality of life that combines sun, taste, culture, and personal safety

  • Lower cost of living compared to the USA or other European cities

  • Tax benefits, especially for retirees and families

  • International schools, modern medical services, and easy daily life

  • For second and third-generation expatriates, it represents a return to their roots




📊 Stability and Investment Returns

Increased demand is not just a trend – it is also a clear indication of investment potential. From 2017 to today:

  • Residential property prices increased by 71%

  • Office prices increased by 32%

  • Retail property prices increased by 43%

The Greek market remains competitive at a European level, even with the new investment limit of €800,000 for premium areas. Especially in Athens and Attica, the sense of a "safe haven" for capital holders is now well-established.
