Following the devastating fires that swept across Greece, Rhodes is now welcoming guests back to the Island with open arms as tour operators and airlines resume flights to the Island.

Now seems to be a good time to buy a property in Rhodes according to Savvas Savvaidis, head of Savvaidis & Associates. The company’s sales in 2013 show that the second home market on the Greek island is turning the corner. The number of transactions is 15% higher than that of the previous year, while the total value of sales is up more than 30%.

Rhodes is continuing to shun its former reputation as a haven for young clubbers by focusing on upgrading its tourism product and attracting those seeking a luxury holiday.
