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.
