The homecoming

Nostos means homecoming.

In Greek, νόστος is the longing for home — the journey back to where you belong. We built Nostos for families who want more than a visa: a foothold in Europe, an address in Athens, and a path that is handled properly, from the first conversation to the residence permit in hand.

We are not a referral desk. We source conversion-ready property, manage the purchase and the legal reclassification, and walk every application through to approval — with a real office in Athens and a decade of delivery behind us.

Investment routes

Three legal routes to EU residency

Every Golden Visa is a real, qualifying investment. We help you choose the right one — then handle it.

01The specialty

€250,000 — commercial-to-residential conversion

The lowest legal entry point

Greece's €250,000 tier applies to qualifying cases such as the conversion of a commercial property to residential use. It is the lowest legal route into the Golden Visa — not a discount, and never below the legal investment floor.

02Regional

€400,000 — regional areas

Residential investment outside the prime zones

A €400,000 residential investment qualifies across most of Greece, outside the highest-demand municipalities. A flexible route with broad choice of stock.

03Prime

€800,000 — prime areas

Athens centre, the islands & top demand zones

In the highest-demand areas — central Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and others — the qualifying threshold is €800,000 for a single residential property.
