An innovative guide that gives readers all the information they need to buy a property in Greece. Every step of the process from organizing visas to drawing up contracts is covered and there is essential background on the economy, climate, and facilities. A full-color photograph section gives them a taste of Greece's different regions, aiding their decision of where in Greece to buy. Peppered with anecdotes and case studies, this guide also gives a unique, personal insight into moving to Greece.
Marc Dubin has lived part-time in Greece since 1989, and has travelled around the country almost annually since his initial 1978 visit. In 1993, he bought a derelict farmer's cottage at the edge of a village on Samos and spent the next four years restoring it. In 2000, having outgrown the original house, Marc was able to purchase the adjoining ruin and has recently completed the process of knocking the two together to make a single large dwelling. When not labouring in one of his two Greek hillside gardens, he lives in London and writes for various travel guide publishers. Long experience in being confronted by roasted sheep's head, snails, rock samphire, unfamiliar wild greens and strange (but edible) marine invertebrates has stood him in good stead as the usual Greek restaurant-reviewer for the annual Time Out Eating and Drinking Guide.
