Greece became part of the Schengen Agreement in 1992, officially signing the treaty to join the border-free travel area. However, full implementation of Schengen rules in Greece began in 2000, marking the country’s official entry into the system of passport-free travel across Europe. This integration allowed for smoother movement between Greece and other Schengen countries, reinforcing its position as a key player in European tourism, business, and investment.
As a Schengen member, Greece offers unrestricted mobility across the 29 countries in the Schengen Area, making it an attractive location for those looking to live, invest, or expand their business within Europe. Its strategic position, combined with easy access to the European market, has contributed to the country’s ongoing economic and real estate growth.
