Greek Island Property for Sale.
Real Airbnb Net Yield.
Every villa and apartment for sale across Crete, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese and the Ionian islands, refreshed daily — cross-checked against 43,000+ live Airbnb calendars so you see which ones actually earn. Nightly rates, season length and entry prices differ sharply island by island: pick the trade-off first, then the property. Ranked by realistic, after-tax net yield.
Yields shown are fully-managed net after Greek income tax, over the all-in acquisition cost (price + transfer tax + notary + legal + furnishing) — the Greek island median is 2.5% (8.5% gross on the asking price); the homes at or above BrixfoxScore 90 net 5.7%. If a listing promises double digits, question the assumptions.

Short-term rental rules in Greece — the AADE registry.
Registration is the gate to legal STR income in Greece — it determines whether projected yield is achievable at all.
How it works
Every short-term rental must be registered with the AADE (the Greek tax authority) and display its Property Registry number — the ΑΜΑ — on every platform listing. Registration is per property, filed online under the owner’s Greek tax number. From 2025 the rules tightened: a registration process with fees, minimum property standards, and a freeze on new registrations in the most saturated central-Athens districts. The islands remain far less constrained.
When you buy
An ΑΜΑ does not transfer automatically — as the new owner you register the property under your own tax number. An existing ΑΜΑ on a listing is still a meaningful signal: the property already operates legally as a short-term rental. Where the agency discloses one, we surface it on the listing.
Buyer checkpoint
Before underwriting, confirm the property’s planning and building status supports tourist use, and check for any newer municipal restrictions with a Greek lawyer and accountant. Rules are evolving quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Greek island is best for Airbnb investment?
It depends on the trade-off. Santorini and Mykonos command the highest nightly rates in Greece but on a short, intense season; Crete offers the deepest market and the longest season; the Ionian islands (Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Lefkada) trade lower entry prices for family-resort volume. The island cards on this page show live numbers for each.
Do I need a licence to run an Airbnb in Greece?
Yes — every Greek short-term rental must be registered with the AADE (the tax authority) and display its Property Registry number (ΑΜΑ) on every listing. From 2025 Greece tightened registry rules and froze new registrations in the most saturated central-Athens districts; island markets are far less constrained, but always confirm current local rules with a Greek lawyer before underwriting. Where a for-sale listing already discloses an ΑΜΑ, we surface it.
How is net yield calculated?
True net: projected rental income minus realistic operating costs (management, utilities, insurance, income tax) over the all-in acquisition cost (price + transfer tax, notary, legal, furnishing). It is the number you actually keep as a non-resident, fully-managed owner — not gross-on-asking. Median Greek island net yield after tax sits around 2–3%, with the best buys reaching roughly 7%. If a listing promises double digits, question the assumptions.
Where does this data come from?
Brixfox tracks 43,000+ live Airbnb availability calendars across the Greek islands and derives occupancy, ADR and net yield from observed bookings — the same engine behind our Bali, Portugal, Spain and Dubai markets. Real market data, not survey estimates.
What left the market in Greece
1,140 listings left the market in the last 90 days (71 in the last 7 days). None is counted as a sale: the source does not say whether a listing sold.

Days listed count from the first time our crawl saw a listing, not from the day it was put on the market, so a listing already for sale before we tracked it is under-counted.
