A few years ago, anyone searching for apartments in Greece almost always landed on the same answer: Athens, or one of the famous islands like Corfu or Crete. The picture looks different now. More and more Israeli investors are turning up in Karystos, a small port town at the southern tip of the island of Evia, and finding something hard to come by elsewhere in the Greek property market: prices that haven’t yet caught up with demand, and real accessibility from Israel without a tiring flight connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide looks at why South Evia in particular has become a destination worth knowing, what the buying process actually looks like, and what’s worth checking before committing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why South Evia and not other popular islands?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The short answer would be time and money. Karystos is situated at around a ninety-minute drive from Athens airport through a drive to the Rafina port followed by a ferry crossing. This is exactly the right kind of distance where the property becomes convenient for use on a spontaneous weekend getaway rather than the planned holiday. Popular islands from Athens require between three to five hours of travel, sometimes even more in case of delays in ferry schedules during peak periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price is the second half of the story, sometimes the more important half.In areas that have already been “discovered,” like Paros, Mykonos, or parts of Corfu, prices have climbed at a pace that puts them out of reach for the average investor. South Evia, by contrast, is still at an early stage: roads gradually being upgraded, tourism infrastructure growing at a measured pace, and government interest in developing the region as an alternative to the crowding on the traditional islands. Anyone looking for real estate in Greece with genuine upside, not just a pretty view for a photo, tends to stop here.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greek real estate market 2026:<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Greek real estate market 2026 looks materially different from what it was five years ago. After roughly a decade of gradual recovery from the financial crisis, the country is at a point where foreign demand, mostly from Europe and Israel, is pushing prices up in the most sought-after areas. The Golden Visa program has gone through repeated updates that raised the required investment threshold in core areas like Athens and Thessaloniki, and that’s exactly what pushed a meaningful share of that demand toward newer areas that haven’t yet entered the high-price bracket.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s the precise point where South Evia enters the picture. The region is benefiting from rising demand without yet carrying the price tag of more established areas. That won’t necessarily stay fixed forever. As accessibility improves and demand grows, there’s a clear economic logic for that gap to narrow over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
