General Guidelines

Understanding Building Zones

Samos Island features designated planning zones, known as “oikismoi,” which encompass villages and areas like Samos Town, Karlovasi, and Pythagoreio.

Furthermore, these zones define the maximum allowable construction areas, offering valuable insights into the potential scope of your project.

Building Allowance and Engineer’s Expertise

The construction possibilities on your chosen plot depend on factors such as building allowance and footprint coefficients.

Moreover, our certified engineers, registered with the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE), provide the expertise needed to navigate these regulations and ensure compliance.

For construction in rural areas, it’s crucial to obtain a forest department characterisation which as of 2021 is a simple task since there are official forest maps for rural areas.

Furthermore, rural plots especially on sloping areas usually require retaining walls and more costs for utilities like water and electricity.
