Moving to Greece might seem like just a dream, but that ideal home by the beach or in a mountain village is much more affordable than many think. For less than the price of an average British property, you can get yourself a beautiful detached home in the sun. This week, we’re looking at what you can buy in Greece for just €150,000.

If you’re looking for something ready to move into, this maisonette in the seaside town of Agios Ioannis could be just the answer. It is being sold fully furnished and equipped and has two bedrooms and a spacious living area with built-in sofas and a fireplace. Outside, the terrace offers wonderful sea views and the courtyard has a number of shaded pergolas.
Most property buyers may start their hunt on the islands, but there are plenty of advantages to living on the mainland, too – not least the year-round flights, so you can pop out in winter as much as in summer.
This is a very volatile time for anyone sending money overseas – but it’s a risk that’s easy to control. Find out how to safely move your money for a house purchase in the Property Buyer’s Guide to Currency.

This two-bedroom apartment is very close to the sea and the village of Panormo. It is located on the first floor, in a seafront resort with communal gardens and a large swimming pool. From the main door you enter an open plan area with the living room, dining room and kitchen facing the sea.
This is one of the sunniest parts of Europe, enjoying a whopping 3,100 hours of sunshine a year (compare that to London’s 1,600, or Edinburgh’s 1,400).
