Real estate in Rhodes, Greece: historic island with strong tourism economy and diverse investment options

Why invest in property in Rhodes

Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, is one of Greece’s most visited destinations — blending medieval heritage, vibrant tourism, and Mediterranean charm. With direct international flights, a long tourist season, and a dynamic rental market, Rhodes offers attractive opportunities for both lifestyle buyers and investors seeking high yields or Golden Visa residency.

The island’s property market includes historic homes, seafront villas, city apartments, and development land — making it one of the most versatile investment locations in the Aegean.

Types of real estate available

Rhodes offers a wide range of property formats to suit different goals:

• Luxury villas with sea views and pools — popular for short-term holiday rentals.
• Renovated historic houses in Rhodes Old Town — used for boutique hotels or private residences.
• Modern apartments in Rhodes Town and Ialysos — suited for long-term tenants or expat buyers.
• Land plots — especially near Lindos or Afandou — for custom villa development.
• Tourist accommodations — such as guesthouses or small hotels in popular resorts like Faliraki.

Whether you're entering the market with €150,000 or over €1 million, Rhodes accommodates varied budgets and strategies.

Foreign ownership and legal aspects

Despite its proximity to Turkish waters, Rhodes is fully open to foreign property buyers under Greek national laws:

• 100% freehold ownership available to foreigners and legal entities
• Golden Visa eligible from €250,000 in most areas (some may rise to €500,000 soon)
• Secure notarial process with land registry and remote buying via POA
• Clear zoning rules for land and hospitality projects

VelesClub Int. provides legal support, document checks, Golden Visa assistance, and permits consultation for residential or commercial development.

Property prices and rental yields

Rhodes offers better value than Cycladic islands like Mykonos or Santorini, while delivering solid rental returns. As of 2025:

• Modern apartments: €1,700–€2,800/m² in Rhodes Town
• Seafront villas: €3,000–€6,000/m² depending on location and size
• Old Town homes: from €2,500/m² — often with heritage preservation status

Rental yields reach 6%–10% in high-demand areas like Lindos, Kallithea, and Ixia, especially during the long summer season (April to October). The cruise terminal and conference tourism add off-season income potential.

Neighborhoods and lifestyle

Rhodes offers urban life, beach resorts, and authentic villages across several regions:

• Rhodes Town: Capital and main hub — combines historical sites with modern infrastructure.
• Old Town: UNESCO-listed walled city — ideal for boutique residences and tourism assets.
• Lindos: Whitewashed seaside village — luxury tourism hotspot and investment zone.
• Ialyssos & Ixia: Coastal suburbs popular with families and seasonal visitors.
• Faliraki: Resort area with lively nightlife — strong short-let demand and commercial potential.

Rhodes also offers marinas, golf, hiking, and cultural festivals, creating year-round lifestyle and tourism appeal.
