Yes, in principle. Non-EU citizens can buy property in Greece. However, Skyros is classified as a border-area island, which means a non-EU buyer may need prior state approval before completing the purchase. This is a procedural requirement — your lawyer can guide you through it.

The main buyer cost is property transfer tax: 3%, plus a 3% municipal surcharge (effectively 3.09% of the taxable value). On top of that, buyers typically pay notary fees, land registry fees, and legal due-diligence fees. In practice, buyers often budget roughly 6% extra in total.

The main structural elements and core installations — structure, plumbing, and electrical — are in great condition. Some basic interior work is needed, such as painting and bathroom and kitchen renovation. This is reflected in the asking price and represents a straightforward upgrade opportunity.

Yes. The property is fully connected to water, electricity, and internet services.

From Athens, there are two main routes: a domestic flight (approximately 35 minutes) to Skyros Airport (SKU), or a 2-hour drive to Kymi on the island of Evia followed by a 1.5-hour ferry crossing. From Summer 2026, a seaplane service will operate directly from Athens in just 35 minutes. International visitors typically fly into Athens and connect from there.

Property tax (ENFIA) is calculated on the official objective value of the asset, as set by the tax authorities — not the market price. In Skyros, these values are relatively low, which means the annual ENFIA on this property is also low. The exact figure is available on request.
