The average sale price of properties in the Aegean islands, especially the Cyclades, has exceeded €4,000 per square metre, according to recent data.

The surge in demand and prices is not limited to popular islands; smaller, remote islands are also experiencing significant increases.

Cycladic, which began operations in October 2022, seeks to overcome a series of bureaucratic obstacles in order to "open its wings" to other destinations beyond the six islands it currently serves with three planes, namely: Astypalaia, Paros, Milos , Syros, Naxos and Heraklion. Cycladic's business plan includes the air connection of the Cyclades islands with the North Aegean. It also plans to add Santorini, Mykonos and Rhodes to its network.

The long-awaited meeting of Turkey's Security Council, under Recep Tayyip Erdogan, lasted four hours, with Greece at the top of the agenda amid escalating tensions over the militarization of Greek islands.
