The reason for this surge in interests from property investors can be explained, and it has a lot to do with Greece’s current economic recovery and the influx of investment into the coastal country. In this article, we are going to explore the major reasons why real estate investing in Greece is turning out to be a great idea now.

A December 19 th report by ING points towards a cooling of house price growth in 2020, with three exceptions: France, Italy, and Greece. Greece – a positive surprise. Real estate investors active in Europe cheered 2019 because it was an excellent year. Lower interest rates in combination with a limited supply contributed to the extension of the real estate cycle and that should continue in 2020, as long as no disruptive events (political, geopolitical, economic, etc.)

Spain and Greece, by contrast, have seen increases in emigration. Recruiting great staff is the biggest challenge for many startups. This is the central conclusion of the Scale Up Report and we see it every day in our own operations and at our partners. Training and education are a big part of the solution, but skilled migrants are another. Hence I was encouraged to see the UK is close to top of the chart when it comes to share of foreign born population with tertiary degrees.

Given this trend of some of the leading industrialists and thinkers supporting and promoting leisure in the early 20th century we should now be living in a culture which, similar to say Ancient Greece and Rome, values leisure highly and sees busyness actually as a form of laziness and lack of time management and deep reflective thought.

Countries like Greece were always going to have a hard time. What do you get when you marry Greece and Germany under one currency, as seen from Athens: Interest rates are low, which is an incentive to borrow, but there's no inflation eroding the principal. It's one thing to let Greece "restructure its debt"or "exchange its bonds" (for the unitiated, that's a default, it's just that a different of technology will be used).

A famous example is the Parthenon, built in Ancient Greece: Can the Golden Ratio work for web design? Your website design is more important for conversions than you think. You can implement every conversion-boosting tactic in the world, but if your web design looks like crap, it won’t do you much good. Design is not just something designers do. Design is marketing. Design is your product and how it works.

Yellow symbolizes happiness and peace in Hinduism but represents sadness in Greece and jealousy in France. Color is an essential part of how we experience the world. But do colors really matter for conversion optimization ? Can a button color guarantee better performance for a call to action (CTA)? No single color is better than another. Ultimately, what matters is how much a button color contrasts with the area around it.
