Land Types:
- Land in Greece is categorized into Icopedo (οικόπεδο) and agrotemahio (αγροτεμάχιο).
- Icopedo: Plots within settlements, with varying building coefficients.
- Agrotemahio: Unscheduled plots outside urban areas.
Construction on Agrotemahio:
- Requires a minimum plot size of 4000 m2.
- Building area calculations based on the size of the plot.
Certificate of Fitness:
- Obtained from the State Archaeological Service.
- Necessary for sites located in archaeological zones.

Construction on the islands. Strict rules.
Stricter building regulations across the islands are set to be enforced following a decision by the Council of State. The Supreme Court concurs with the imperative to augment the limit for marking up plots by 8 bastings for new developments anticipated under a forthcoming bill. This move aims to uphold tighter restrictions on construction areas and ensure heightened adherence to regulations beyond planned areas and settlements. The objective is to safeguard and preserve Greece’s exceptional landscapes, recognizing their sensitivity.
The State Council, while acknowledging the fulfillment of previously issued building permits under more lenient regulations, dismisses the possibility of reverting to the prior regime for applications submitted to the Urban Planning Authority. This stance is based on the recognition that the unique island landscapes demand special state care and protection. The State Council underscores the lack of comprehensive study regarding the potential adverse impact of applying more favorable construction conditions on the aesthetic appeal of island regions.
Simultaneously, the Council rejects provisions allowing the construction of underground structures on the islands without a prior documentary assessment of the new construction method. This precaution is deemed constitutionally necessary to prevent any detriment to the nature and character of each region.
As reported in the Efnos newspaper, the fifth department of the State Council has endorsed a lawful program under the Presidential Decree, introducing more stringent regulations for off-plan construction on the islands. This program, intended for finalization just before the elections, is expected to be ratified by the current government. The Supreme Court emphasizes the state’s responsibility to expedite the implementation of this program, aligning with constitutional requirements for environmental protection.
Key provisions of the program include:
- Applicability to all islands except Crete and Euboea.
- New sites with an 8-basting limit for marking up plots with a 45-meter front side on a public road are designated for residential, commercial, and tourist purposes.
- Existing sites prior to the new presidential decree, with a 4-stump configuration, remain valid for construction up to 27-8-02.
- The creation of consolidated sites through combination is allowed.
- Construction limits of 200 sq.m. on sites with 8 stumps and 150 sq.m. on sites with 4 stumps, with adjustments based on property area.
- Repair or construction of small buildings (up to 100 sq.m.) on uninhabited islands for defense, security, agriculture, livestock, science, and archaeology.
- Development of tourist facilities allowed based on strategic or local planning.
- Building height not exceeding 7.50 meters, and 4.5 meters in the Cyclades islands, with dispersion required for volumes exceeding 450 cubic meters.
- Prohibition of prefabricated or collapsible settlements, mobile homes, structures on stilts, and visibility of solar water heaters, renewable energy, and air conditioning facilities.
- Concealed placement of electricity and telephone installations.
This program underscores a commitment to responsible and sustainable development, ensuring the protection of Greece’s natural beauty and heritage.
