German-speaking lawyers in Greece

German-speaking lawyers in Greece have a loyal clientele. German and Austrian visitors return to Crete, Rhodes and Halkidiki every summer, and many end up buying a holiday home. Some retire to the islands, while others inherit property through Greek family ties.

Most cases involve buying or selling property, checking title and planning permits, inheritance of land and houses, and residence permits, including the Golden Visa for non EU investors. Holiday rentals raise tax and registration questions. Visitors also call after road accidents or disputes with tour operators and landlords.

Courts in Greece use Greek, and German documents need an official translation, often done by the translation service of the foreign ministry or by a lawyer. Foreigners need a Greek tax number before most transactions. Each dikigoros belongs to a local bar association, such as the Athens or Heraklion bar, so you can check membership. A notary drafts property contracts, but your own lawyer should check the title first. German-speaking lawyers in Greece explain this process clearly. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
