Interest in Greek property soars, with Samos stealing the limelight

Interest in Greek property has soared over the past month, according to leading property portal Rightmove Overseas, with islands including Samos receiving an exceedingly high level of searches.

Head of Overseas at Rightmove, Shameem Golamy, said, “In June, we saw searches increase for idyllic island locations as people look to escape the traditional UK summer downpours. Greek islands, most notably the Dodecanese island group - which includes Rhodes and Samos - attracted over 50% more searches month on month.”
