Halkidiki is one of the favorite tourist destinations for Greeks and foreigners. However, many people do not just limit themselves to short holidays, but invest in the purchase of a house in Halkidiki, resulting in an increased mobility in this sector of real estate, especially by foreign nationals. 

Here we must underline that the increased demand for buying a house in Halkidiki is largely due to its beautiful beaches, but also due to its proximity to Thessaloniki, which has large shopping centers and an airport for easy access. 

In this article we will talk about the areas that attract the most interest in terms of buying a house in Halkidiki, as well as the nationalities of the investors. 

Buying a house in Halkidiki: Nationalities

Halkidiki is a choice for a large percentage of Balkan and European nationals, but the demand from Russians has now fallen sharply. In fact, the overwhelming percentage of foreign nationals and of course Greeks are turning to buying a house in Halkidiki for home ownership. 

Their aim is to have a holiday home for their family, while a small percentage of them invest in buying a house in Halkidiki for the purpose of exploitation, mainly for short-term renting. But let's see which nationalities are interested in buying a house in Halkidiki: 

• Balkans: Families from neighbouring Balkan countries are turning to buying a house in Halkidiki, as it is nearby and can even be reached by car in a few hours. 
• Citizens of European countries: Germans, French, but also Scandinavians show increased interest. In fact, there are many who are buying a house in Halkidiki in order to stay in Greece after their retirement.
• Israelis: There is a strong interest from Israeli buyers, who usually choose large and expensive properties, plots and land for development. It has been observed that when it comes to buying a house in Halkidiki, many Israelis are looking for large detached houses with many rooms, but also extra facilities such as a garden and swimming pool.

It is worth mentioning here that the interest of Russian nationals in buying a house in Halkidiki, which was particularly high for a long period of time, has now been "frozen".
