Central Athens, by the numbers. Five neighborhoods, one card each, rent by size, what it costs to set up, and the average sale price per square metre.
Kolonaki sits at the top: €4,000/m² to buy, and a 2-bed earns around €26k a year. Koukaki and Pangrati follow with stronger yield, lower entry, still high demand.
Exarchia has led Athens in price growth. And Neos Kosmos is the value entry at €2,150/m², emerging fast on the back of infrastructure upgrades and spillover from Koukaki.
Notice the setup cost stays the same across neighborhoods, because what it costs to make a flat guest-ready is driven by the unit, not the postcode. A studio runs about €7k turnkey, a three-bed about €18k. That's the full job: design, furniture, kitchen, install, photos, go-live.
The numbers set the ceiling. How close a unit gets to it is the operation, and that's the part we run, capital to key.
