where did weathy brits buy homes in greece

Wealthy Brits have been buying homes mainly in Greece’s Cyclades , the Athens Riviera , and parts of the Peloponnese , with hotspots like Mykonos, Ekali, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Spetses, and Paxoi standing out.

Quick scoop

The strongest pattern is that British buyers tend to target places that combine status, lifestyle, and liquidity: island luxury markets, prime coastal districts near Athens, and high-end mainland enclaves.

Main hotspots

  • Mykonos : a top luxury island market, with a very high share of €1m+ homes.
  • Ekali : an affluent north Athens suburb known for large villas and gated homes.
  • Voula and Vouliagmeni : core Athens Riviera locations, popular for beachfront and upscale family homes.
  • Spetses and Paxoi : smaller island markets that still attract prime buyers.
  • Cyclades, Athens Riviera, and Peloponnese : broader regions identified as preferred areas for UK investors.

Why those places

These areas offer the mix wealthy buyers usually want: sea views, prestige, easier holiday use, and stronger long-term value.

Bottom line

If you mean where wealthy Britons are most actively purchasing in Greece, the answer is: Mykonos and the Cyclades, the Athens Riviera, and select upscale areas around Athens and the Peloponnese.
