Avla Real Estate Area Report · Gerakini · Municipality of Polygyros, Halkidiki · 23 – 24 October 2026. This is an assessment at the district level; it does not include a review of a specific apartment.
Gerakini is a coastal village on the shores of the Toroneos (Kassandra) Gulf on the Halkidiki peninsula, situated between the Kassandra and Sithonia prongs; it is part of the municipality of Polygyros. In the 2021 census, the village population was 1,022, and the municipality’s was 21,351. The village center is ~1.1 km inland from the coast; hotels and holiday homes are located along the shoreline, which features long, white-sand beaches. It is ~75 km by road from Thessaloniki and ~66 km from Thessaloniki Airport.
The village’s main source of income is tourism. Tourism began in 1959, and with the opening of a large hotel complex in the 1970s, the area became one of Halkidiki’s established holiday belts. Beach quality is measurable: in 2026, 93 beaches in Halkidiki were awarded Blue Flags; 2 of the 7 Blue Flag beaches in the municipality of Polygyros are in Gerakini. As of 2025, ~494 hotels and ~49,300 beds are reported across Halkidiki. The beaches of Kassandra and Sithonia, Ancient Olynthos, and Petralona Cave are reachable with short drives.
Residential demand is driven by three sources: holiday and weekend demand from the Thessaloniki regional unit with a population of approximately 1.09 million, holiday home buyers from the Balkans and Central Europe (Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, German) arriving by road, and tourism businesses. A tender was targeted in 2026 for the upgrading of the K12 – Thermi section of the Thessaloniki – Nea Moudania road; the status of the tender is pending confirmation.
No international schools with an English curriculum were found in Gerakini or Polygyros; the option in the immediate vicinity is the Greek-language public schools in Polygyros (~11 km). The nearest English-language schools are in Pylaia, an eastern suburb of Thessaloniki; distances are as the crow flies from the center of Gerakini:
The campus is ~70 km by road, approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes by car; daily school commuting is not practical. For a family with school-age children, Gerakini is a holiday and second-home address rather than a primary residence. Enrollment conditions should be confirmed directly with the school.
Transportation relies on the road network: the Thessaloniki – Nea Moudania road is the main axis of Halkidiki. Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) is the closest international airport to Halkidiki. The Halkidiki General Hospital in Polygyros is the region’s main healthcare facility.
Travel times are without traffic; they increase during summer weekends.
Demand in Gerakini is dependent on the tourism season: the season runs from April to October, with the peak period in July and August. The resident tenant base is small. As short-term daily rentals are prohibited for properties acquired via Golden Visa, the focus for a GV investor is on personal use rather than income.
Figures represent asking prices. The Polygyros average includes the inland district centre; no separate average is published for the Gerakini coastline. The spike in rentals of 42% may be due to a small number of listings and should not be interpreted as a trend.
Avla’s area view: Positive — usage-focused. Gerakini is an established holiday village with Blue Flag beaches, located approximately one hour from Thessaloniki and the airport; it sits between Kassandra and Sithonia, with short drives to both. The price level is significantly below that of Kassandra and Sithonia (Polygyros €2,094/m²); income expectations are limited to the season.

Because there is no single figure. Legislation defines three tiers, and the location and legal status of a property determine which tier it falls into.
Practical implications for your file: The threshold for standard new builds in Attica is €800,000. Which threshold the properties in this file fall under is determined by the location and legal status of the property; this is confirmed in writing via an independent Greek lawyer’s review on a property-by-property basis. We have not stated in any section that “this apartment qualifies for GV”; we obtain confirmation via documentation.

1 · Introduction record. Which property was introduced, and by whom, is recorded with the viewing form. Our viewing form covers digital and physical viewings alike — presenting a property to you on a video call carries the same weight as showing it on site.

3 · Service fee. The service fee for the property on this page is 0%. Our only request is that the purchase of a property we have introduced is completed through our firm.

The Contracting Party confirms that the property(ies) listed above were introduced and shown to them by Avla Real Estate Gayrimenkul A.Ş. and Avla International Properties FZ-LLC (the "Agency"; together or individually "Avla"), and that they had no prior knowledge of these properties from any other source. Any prior acquaintance or relationship of the Contracting Party with the owner, developer or constructor of the listed properties does not constitute prior knowledge of the properties themselves and shall in no way affect or invalidate the Agency's rights under this Agreement; the decisive factor is the introduction of the specific properties by the Agency. (a) Service fee: if the Contracting Party, directly or indirectly, or through a spouse, relative, close business associate or any related natural or legal person, purchases or leases any of the listed properties through the mediation of the Agency, they shall pay the Agency the fee stated in the "Service fee" column, calculated on the final transaction price. This fee becomes due and payable automatically upon the signing of the final sale or lease agreement. (b) Protection of the introduction right: if the Contracting Party, or any of the related persons listed above, bypasses Avla and purchases or leases a property introduced by Avla directly from the owner or through a third party, a service fee equal to five percent (5%) of the final transaction price (plus VAT, if applicable) shall be paid to Avla as compensation for Avla's losses and expenses. (c) Developer-level protection: this protection is not limited to the listed properties; it also covers the company that is the owner, developer or constructor of the properties introduced by the Agency, and that company's affiliated companies. If the Contracting Party, or any of the related persons listed above, purchases or leases another property of these companies that is not on the list, that transaction shall also be deemed a result of the Agency's introduction, and the service fee and protection provisions above shall apply in full. No subsequent change in the price or in the negotiations shall cancel or reduce these obligations. The parties acknowledge that the Agency's fees under this Agreement will be invoiced from the United Arab Emirates or Türkiye. Personal data provided herein is processed solely for the purpose of this mediation, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). This Agreement is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates; any dispute arising from it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC Courts), Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the parties agree in writing that any claim within the applicable limits shall be heard by the DIFC Courts' Small Claims Tribunal.
By opening the presentation, you acknowledge that the properties on this page were introduced to you by Avla.
For the exact location and street details, call us or fill in the short form at the end of the page (under KVKK/GDPR) and we will call you.
The purchase price is not deposited into an account that the seller can use freely. It enters a separate bank account from which not a single cent can be withdrawn without two signatures: one from the seller and the other from the lawyer Avla has appointed for you. The money is transferred to the seller in installments only as the following steps are documented.
The co-signing lawyer cannot be removed without your consent; funds in the account are free from seizure and liens.
No payments can be made to any other person or account; the flow can only be altered by a court order.
Funds deposited into the account are used solely for the price and construction of this apartment and cannot be withdrawn. The contract is subject to Greek law; source of funds (AML) documents are required.
Source: developer’s “Private Agreement on Release of Funds” template. Installment ratios and timelines are written into the contract for each purchase; this section is a summary and does not replace the contract text.
We will disclose the figures with documentation during our meeting; however, to set your expectations correctly from the start, the framework is as follows:
For residential property purchases by non-EU/EEA natural persons, the property transfer tax is being increased from 3.09% to 15.45%. Corporate purchases, EU/EEA citizens, long-term residence permit holders, and individuals of Greek descent are excluded. The Prime Minister announced this on 6 September, and the Ministry of Finance provided details on 8 September — there is no draft law submitted to Parliament yet.
The 2026–2035 National Housing Strategy proposes a separate Golden Visa category where multiple apartments are purchased as a single portfolio and all are rented out long-term. The threshold, rental duration, and conditions have not yet been drafted; market sentiment suggests it will be an option for the €400,000 / €800,000 tiers where the single-property rule applies — this is a proposal, not law.
The €€250,000 tier is currently in effect and applies only to properties converted into residential units through a change of use. The sector is requesting an exemption from the new title deed tax for this category — the rationale being that these investments do not withdraw housing from the market, but rather create new stock. No decision has been made yet.
Once you submit the form, our team will call you; we will share the current availability, binding price, and payment plan for the apartments you are interested in via writing.
