One of the greatest cities in the world, Athens is capital and indeed the cultural heart of the Attica region of Greece. Boasting everything that makes the country such a unique gem in spades, the appeal of Attica ranges from idyllically secluded escapes to thunderous city streets and right out to pristine bays of pure perfection. Investment opportunities are varied to say the least, covering everything from long-term family home rentals to mid-term young professional lets right through to the classic short-term high-yield holiday let. Prices are still slumped in comparison to years gone by, but this only makes one of the world's cultural centres more attractive.
