Here. Now
What?

Two hundred and thirteen people have made this coastline their tax residence. The median one of them paid €2.95 million for a house — and then spent eighteen months asking a group chat where to find a lawyer, a school, and a decent bottle of wine. This is the answer to all of it.

213 non-doms now resident in Greece €2.95M median purchase 88% of them buy on the Riviera 53% arrive from the UK 0% → 29% of luxury transactions in two years ~1,200 millionaires relocating this year Vouliagmeni €8,500–12,000 / m² €100,000 flat tax, fixed for 15 years

Eight Territories.
One Life.

Not a directory of everything. Eight sections that between them cover the first decade of a life relocated here — from the residency paperwork to the dinner you cannot get a table at.

The annual ranking · Allocation

The 47

Forty-seven places that decide what this coastline actually is — rooms, marinas, workrooms, tables, doors. Ranked once a year, argued about for the other three hundred and sixty-four days.

Here is how the forty-seven are divided. We publish the allocation before the entries, so the shape of the list is public and you can tell us where it is wrong.

Nothing on this list is paid for. Ever. That is the entire value of it.

How it is judged
  1. 12

    The Table

    Restaurants, cellars, private kitchens · Twelve places

    The largest allocation, because it is the category you use most and the one where the gap between reputation and cooking is widest.

  2. 06

    The House

    Architects, builders, interiors · Six places

    Not properties — the people who make them. The architect who answers the phone in year three is worth more than the view.

  3. 06

    In Motion

    Marinas, brokers, operators · Six places

    Berths and the people who manage them. Judged on what happens when something goes wrong in August.

  4. 05

    The Body

    Clinics, physicians, water · Five places

    Every entry here requires verified credentials and a disclosed commercial relationship, or it does not run.

  5. 05

    The Wardrobe

    Ateliers, dealers, workrooms · Five places

    Several of these will be named only with permission. Some workrooms do not want the traffic, and that is their call.

  6. 05

    The Mind

    Galleries, schools, institutions · Five places

    Schools are ranked only against a published methodology, or not at all.

  7. 05

    The Circle

    Clubs, tables, causes · Five places

    The hardest to report and the most valuable to get right. Access is not the same as membership.

  8. 03

    The Move

    Advisers who finish the job · Three places

    Three, because more than three good ones would be a surprise, and naming a fourth to fill a slot is how these lists die.

The methodology, and how to nominate

Four Addresses,
Four Different Bets

Real square-metre prices, updated quarterly. No agent's adjectives, no "up-and-coming". What it costs, who lives there, and what you give up.

“Nothing on this site is ranked because someone paid for it. The moment a family office manager suspects otherwise, we have nothing left to sell.”
