FAQ
Hellenic Properties uses an indirect shareholding model for real estate investments. Instead of buying property directly, you purchase shares in a project company that owns luxury rental properties in Crete and Greece. This means you become a co-owner of the assets through shares, which lowers barriers to entry and lets you invest without the hassles of being a landlord. Key features of this model include:
Overall, the shareholding model provides the benefits of real estate ownership – steady income and potential appreciation – without the usual headaches. Hellenic Properties’ team handles development, property management, and operations, so you can invest confidently and enjoy a hands-off experience while still reaping the returns up to 350% after 10 years.
- Fractional Ownership with Low Minimum: You can start investing with as little as 25,000 €, depending on the project. This relatively low buy-in makes high-end real estate accessible to both retail and institutional investors.
- Passive Income from Rentals: The properties are managed and rented out on your behalf. Investors earn a share of the rental profits, with annual yields expected up to 15% in many cases. You benefit from regular income distributions without needing to manage tenants or maintenance.
- Capital Growth Potential: As a shareholder, you also participate in any increase in the property’s value. Over time, if the luxury real estate market in Crete grows, the value of your shares (and the underlying property asset) can appreciate accordingly.

The Hellenic Properties investment structure is designed to be investor-friendly and efficient. All investments are channeled through a Cyprus-based corporate structure, which offers a stable EU legal framework for international investors. This setup has several advantages in terms of legality and taxation:
- No VAT on Property Purchase: By investing via shares in the company (rather than buying real estate directly), investors do not pay Value Added Tax (VAT) on the acquisition. This can represent a significant saving, as direct property purchases in Greece often incur VAT or transfer taxes. You don’t need to go to the notary to invest into the assets.
- Tax-Efficient Income: Rental yields and any dividends are distributed through the company structure. Cyprus’s favorable tax regime for holding companies means that the flow of rental income to investors is handled in a tax-efficient manner under EU law. You receive your share of profits after the company optimizes tax obligations, avoiding double taxation scenarios.
- Professional Management & Compliance: The Cyprus-based management ensures that all local regulations (in Greece and Cyprus) are complied with on your behalf. Property management, licensing, and reporting duties are taken care of by Hellenic Properties. As an investor, you have the legal protection of owning shares in an EU company, and you don’t need to navigate Greek real estate law personally – it’s handled for you within the structure.
Hellenic Properties welcomes a broad range of investors – from individual retail investors to institutions and international buyers. The minimum investment required is relatively accessible, starting at about €25,000 for an entry stake (some projects may set a minimum up to €75,000). This low threshold allows many investors to participate in luxury real estate without committing a huge amount of capital.
In terms of payment options, the platform is also crypto-friendly for international participants. Investors outside the EU can choose to invest using major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Tether (USDT), providing flexibility for those who prefer to use digital assets. (Traditional funding via bank transfer in euros is of course available for everyone, particularly EU-based investors.) This dual option makes it easy for both conventional investors and crypto enthusiasts to get involved in the projects.
As for the project timeline, Hellenic Properties focuses on developments in Crete that are already in progress. The delivery of the rental units is expected between 2026 and 2028 for the 1st wave.. This means that if you invest now, you’re coming in during the development phase. Once construction is completed and the luxury units are delivered by that 2026–2028 window, the properties will begin operations (e.g. leasing to vacation renters). Investors can expect rental income to start accruing after units are delivered and operational, with the potential for significant yields given Crete’s booming tourism rental market. Throughout the development and after, Hellenic Properties handles all property management and rental logistics.
In summary, any qualified investor can take part in these projects under transparent terms – with a modest minimum investment, the option to fund via fiat or crypto, and a clear timeline toward completion. You’ll be investing in a prime Greek real estate venture with professional oversight, and you can look forward to enjoying the returns once the projects go live in the coming years.

Instead of buying a villa or apartment, investors acquire shares from PTO Hellenic Properties Group (CY) Ltd. In that way investors can acquire 1%, 2%, 10% or more of a real estate complex. Our company is issuing different shares of investment pools.
No, you do not have voting rights as an investor, but you get a yearly dividend of rental income and the proportional stake of your share in the company once the group is sold one day.
Capital gains from share sales or not subject to taxes in Cyprus, it’s zero.
For the time being, we target a 20 million € global investment through 4 different pools. Once we have finalized the investment pools, the company might create future pools.
Every investment pool is linked to a specific share class. For example Investment Pool I is having B shares while Pool II is having C shares. The dividend is calculated in relation with the investment that is operated through the Invest Pools. B shares holders will not benefit from C shares dividend and vice versa.
It’s a very safe investment. Unlike Dubai, with an overheated market or Thailand, with political instability, Greece is a safe haven. We are satisfying an increasing demand of vacation rentals and are pioneers in identifying gems in areas that soon will explode growth wide: the new airport in Eastern Crete will double the current capacity of 6 million passengers to 10 million annual passengers. The new highway will connect Eastern Crete to the airport in 30 to 45 minutes instead of 1 to 2 hours today.
OFFICIAL REQUIREMENTS IN CRETE
Selected property. A lasting connection to Greece.
€250,000 — Specialised qualifying property
This route concerns one qualifying property, including an eligible conversion to residential use or a qualifying listed-building restoration. The 120 m² minimum does not apply to the change-of-use route. The legal conversion must be completed before the residence application; listed buildings have separate restoration and renewal requirements. Not every €250,000 property qualifies.
These are official Greek Government requirements, not commercial criteria set by Hellenic Properties.
Residence and family benefits
Qualifying non-EU investors may apply for a five-year renewable Greek residence permit. Eligible family members include the investor’s spouse, the parents of both spouses and unmarried children under 21, subject to the programme’s family, custody and documentation requirements. Registered partners may qualify where recognised under the programme. Renewal requires retention of the qualifying investment and continued compliance. Short-stay Schengen travel remains subject to applicable rules.
A carefully coordinated process
Private consultation → property selection → independent legal and technical review → acquisition → residence application and biometrics. Hellenic Properties coordinates the property process alongside appointed advisers. Final approval rests with the Greek authorities.
Frequently asked questions
Does every €250,000 property qualify?
No. The property must meet the specific legal and technical conditions of an eligible category.
Do I need to live in Greece?
No minimum physical stay is required to maintain the permit, provided all other conditions remain satisfied.
Can the property be rented?
Golden Visa properties are subject to letting restrictions, including prohibitions on short-term letting and subletting. Have the intended use reviewed by independent Greek counsel.
Does fractional investment qualify?
Not automatically. The fractional investment offer is separate from a qualifying Golden Visa property acquisition.
Does residence mean citizenship?
No. Naturalisation is a separate process with its own residence and integration requirements.
General information only, not legal, tax, immigration or investment advice. Rules and eligibility may change. Obtain independent professional advice before acquisition.
