Demand for luxury properties in Greece reached €6.11 billion in the first half of 2026, up 35% year-over-year, driven by a sharp rise in British buyers responding to the abolition of the UK's non-dom tax regime, according to a new report from Greece Sotheby's International Realty.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry has accused Greece of violating the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne after Athens ordered the suspension of eight minority schools in the Thrace region, reviving Ankara's long-standing reference to a "Turkish minority" in Western Thrace, a term Greece does not officially recognize.
