Antiparos property prices surpass Mykonos in Greek island market

Real estate prices on Greek islands saw a significant upward trend in the second quarter of 2026, according to data from the Spitogatos platform. The average asking price in the Aegean islands rose 5.9% year-on-year to €2,941 per square meter, while the Ionian islands also saw a 5.9% increase to €2,531 per square meter. Crete recorded the highest regional growth at 6.9%, with prices having surged 50% over the last five years.

In the Cyclades, Antiparos has emerged as the most expensive destination, surpassing Mykonos with an average asking price of €7,600 per square meter, compared to €7,059 on Mykonos. This surge in Antiparos is attributed to limited supply, as only 149 residential units were available during the period, the majority of which were new constructions. In contrast, some other Cycladic islands like Santorini and Folegandros saw modest annual price declines.

International demand remains a primary driver of the market, with buyers from the United States leading the surge, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and France. While high-net-worth individuals are increasingly seeking luxury properties with privacy and natural views, the market shows significant variation across different island groups, including notable activity in the Dodecanese and Ionian regions.
