Looking to buy a house near the sea with views?

Why invest in Schinias beach, Marathon?

​

1) It's near the capital.

Just 42 km away from Athens city centre (remember the Marathon route length!), 40 minutes drive on Leoforos Marathonos highway. 30 km from Athens' main airport, Eleftherios Venizelos. A day trip to and from Athens can be easily arranged!

​

2) It's a beach inside a pine forest, part of a National Park.

Schinias National Park consists of a forest, a peninsula and a bay. It's actually 3.5 km of forest directly inside a Natura 2000 park. You will hardly find such a beautiful ecosystem near Athens, and it is the longest and calmest seaside in the whole region of Attica. 

​

3) Extremely popular among Athenians

A rare combination of sea and pine forest makes this place unique and very popular among the residents of Athens and its guests. Just compare it yourself and check the Google reviews of the most popular beaches of Athens. You'll see that Schinias Beach has the highest unbiased public preference by far, with 4.6⭐!

​

4) There is entertainment for every taste 

All kinds of sea sports and activities:

- Beach Volley, Windsurfing, Paddleboarding (Karavi beach bar)

​

5) It's near the ferries

There are two ports nearby for travel to the nearest islands. 

- Agia Marina port: 10 km from Schinias beach, 15 minutes driving.

This port connects the region with Southern Evia (Euboia) in just 40 minutes via ferry. Ticket cost per ride: 4€

​

6) This is the VIP area

The closest residential area to Schinias beach is named after the association of "Greek Judges and Prosecutors", making it an area of very high prestige (and the home of some very prominent Greek figures).

​

Starting in the late 90s there has been an explosion of building activity fuelled by the Olympics and its location next to the fabulous Schinias beach. The community has since then drastically evolved. There are now over 450 homes and apartments, many of which rent heavily year-round but mostly in the summertime to international tourists. Additionally, Schinias beach has now become a hot spot for high-end tourism.

​

7) It's actually relatively cheap

The index of average house prices values east of Athens at 1,659€/sqm (Q2/2021), making it the third most valuable area of Athens, after the north and south suburbs.

Furthermore, the Greek government has eliminated VAT for investments in real estate until December 2022, making it a perfect opportunity to invest in real estate right now.
