Question 1

Is Marelia a real estate brokerage or agency?

Accepted Answer

Marelia is an independent investment referral platform connecting Turkish investors directly with project developers and authorized representatives abroad. It is not a broker; it is an independent guide protecting our investors’ interests.

Question 2

Can a purchase be made from Turkey via power of attorney for a Greece Golden Visa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With an apostilled power of attorney issued by a Greek consulate or a notary in Turkey, your lawyer can handle the tax number application, account setup, and title transfer without you needing to travel to Athens.

Question 3

Which projects still qualify for the €250,000 threshold?

Accepted Answer

Under the 2026 legislation, the advantageous €250,000 threshold is preserved nationwide, including Athens, for commercial-to-residential conversion projects and restoration projects of historic/listed buildings.

Question 4

What is the minimum investment required for a Greece Golden Visa?

Accepted Answer

It varies by zone: €800,000 in Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and islands with a population over 3,100; €400,000 in the rest of the country; and starting from €250,000 for historic building restoration or commercial-to-residential conversion projects.

Question 5

Does the Golden Visa guarantee citizenship?

Accepted Answer

No — the Golden Visa is a residency program; a separate citizenship application becomes possible after 7 years, but it is not automatic.

Question 6

Can a property purchased through the Golden Visa be rented out on Airbnb?

Accepted Answer

No, properties acquired under the program cannot be used for short-term (Airbnb-style) rentals.

Question 7

How long does it take to get the Golden Visa card?

Accepted Answer

An interim residence certificate (Blue Card), valid for up to 1 year, is issued as soon as the application is lodged, granting legal residence and Schengen travel rights immediately. The physical 5-year card then takes about 3–6 months in the Epirus region (Ioannina / Igoumenitsa) versus 1.5–2 years in Athens due to application backlogs.

Question 8

Do I need to travel to Greece to complete the purchase?

Accepted Answer

No. Property selection, reservation, due diligence and the notarial deed can all be completed remotely through a Power of Attorney (POA) given to a Greek lawyer. The only trip Greek law requires is the biometrics (fingerprint) appointment near the end of the process. An inspection trip is optional.

Question 9

Is this project eligible for the Golden Visa?

Accepted Answer

The developer explicitly describes this project as "Golden Visa eligible" at prices starting from €250,000; however, the specific category it qualifies under (e.g. commercial-to-residential conversion, or restoration of a historic/listed building) is not specified in the materials — the standard real estate route threshold in the Athens/Attica region is €800,000. We can confirm the exact category for you; please contact us if you are pursuing the Golden Visa.

Question 10

Is the rental yield guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a 3% net annual rental yield is guaranteed by the developer for 3 years.

Question 11

Is the apartment delivered furnished?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every apartment is delivered including furniture and appliances.

Question 12

Why is there no listed price?

Accepted Answer

This project is offered on a "contact us for price" basis, and the developer's materials mention special offers. Please contact us for current pricing.

Question 13

What is the rental yield and is it guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

The developer's investment detail table states a 3.4% net annual rental yield, guaranteed for 2 years. Another part of the same material also mentions a "4%" figure; we can clarify this discrepancy for you.

Question 14

Does this project have a guaranteed rental yield?

Accepted Answer

No, the materials received do not state a rental yield rate or guarantee for this project — unlike some sister projects in the same area. Its investment thesis leans more toward long-term capital appreciation.

Question 15

How many apartments are there?

Accepted Answer

The developer's investment detail table states 5 apartments; the same material's promotional text mentions "11 apartments" in two separate places. This is a clear inconsistency — we can confirm the exact number for you.

Question 16

How many units are there?

Accepted Answer

The developer's investment detail table states 8 units; the same material's promotional text mentions "six units" in two separate places. This is a clear inconsistency — we can confirm the exact number for you.

Question 17

How many villas are there, and what is the price per villa?

Accepted Answer

The development consists of 15 villas in total, arranged in three blocks (A, B, C) of 5 villas each. According to the current sales table, 10 villas remain available — priced between €540,000 and €950,000, depending on the villa's layout type (2 or 3 bedrooms) and plot size. 5 villas are currently reserved. We can confirm the current availability and villa-by-villa price list for you.

Question 18

When will the villas be delivered?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is targeted for Q4 2027. The source materials do not specify the current construction stage (foundation, shell, etc.); we can confirm the current construction status for you.

Question 19

Is the 4% annual return guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No — the source materials describe this figure as an "expected annual return," not a contractually guaranteed rate. It is an estimate based on strong tourism demand in the area and large-scale investment activity along the coastline.

Question 20

How many apartments are there, and which are available?

Accepted Answer

The project has 37 one-bedroom apartments in total: 5 on the ground floor and 8 on each of floors 1–4. According to the current sales table, 32 are available (from €256,000 to €397,000, varying by floor, size and view), 4 are on hold and 1 is reserved. We can confirm the current per-unit price list for you.

Question 21

Are there apartments with a sea view?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A significant share of the apartments on floors 2, 3 and 4 offer sea, side sea or partial sea views; the view varies by unit. We can shortlist the apartments that match your preferences.

Question 22

What is rental demand like in this location?

Accepted Answer

With the Nea Paralia waterfront, the city centre and Thessaloniki's leading hospitals and universities all close by, Analipsi sees steady demand from medical professionals, academics, students and long-term tenants. The source material does not state a specific rental yield or guarantee.

Question 23

Are the apartments furnished and ready to rent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The apartments are being fully renovated to modern standards, and furniture, décor and appliances are included in the price. From delivery in Q3 2026 it is a turnkey investment ready for both long-term tenants and short-stay platforms.

Question 24

Is the 4–5% rental yield guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No — the developer's material states this as an estimated annual gross yield, not a contractual guarantee. The actual return depends on the chosen rental strategy and occupancy.

Question 25

Is property management available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full management — tenant sourcing, rent collection, maintenance and cleaning coordination, and tax and accounting assistance — is offered from 15% of rental income, depending on the strategy. Short-stay guest communication, dynamic pricing and housekeeping can be added optionally.

Question 26

Is this project really Golden Visa eligible?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this project is structured under the commercial-to-residential conversion category, which is defined in Greece's real-estate Golden Visa program with a €250,000 investment threshold (see our Greece Golden Visa Guide).

Question 27

Is the 3% return really guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this rate is contractually guaranteed for 10 years regardless of occupancy. Any appreciation beyond that (an estimated 4–7% annually) is a market-data-based projection and is not covered by the guarantee.

Question 28

Can the apartment be taken possession of immediately?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the project is move-in ready and the apartments are offered fully furnished.

Question 29

When will the project be delivered?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is planned for March 30, 2027; the apartments will be offered fully furnished.
