Así es Argyronisos: la isla de Egeo que sale al mercado por primera vez en décadas

Argyronisos is a privately-owned island of 24 hectares situated in the northern Aegean Sea and has been put up for sale for the first time in decades. The price remains undisclosed and is handled by Engel and Völkers. Georg Petras, CEO of Engel and Völkers Greece, describes Argyronisos as one of the most unique private retreats available on the European coast.

The property combines privacy, its own infrastructure for residential use, and sustainability criteria with a privileged location near some of the most recognized navigation areas of the Sporades.

Located in the protected Gulf of Pteleos, off the northern coast of Euboea, Argyronisos is one of the largest completely developed private islands in Greece. Its 240,000 square meters of land includes approximately 940 square meters of built-up area, comprising a main residence, a two-story villa, several stone houses, and maintenance personnel's accommodations.

The architectural ensemble blends harmoniously into the Mediterranean landscape. Among its notable installations are an organic olive grove, a helipad, a marina for yachts, and several secluded coves for bathing. The island also features its own sustainable solar-powered energy system.

Argyronisos has been a private family refuge, an ecological olive cultivation farm, and a secluded enclave away from conventional tourism for decades. What truly sets it apart is that its luxury is not defined by excessive development, but by six decades of careful care and dedication, along with absolute privacy. Petras highlights that Argyronisos' exceptional nature stems from six decades of meticulous care and absolute privacy.

Access from Athens can be made by private helicopter from Athens International Airport, taking about 50 minutes. Alternatively, a private boat from the mainland takes around three and a half hours total travel time by road and sea from Athens. The location also provides direct access to the islands of Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos, one of the main attractions for those seeking to enjoy navigation in the northern Aegean Sea.

For Engel and Völkers, Argyronisos' uniqueness lies not only in its characteristics but also in the scarcity of comparable properties available on the market. In the high-end Mediterranean real estate market, acquiring a property is a lifestyle choice. Purchasing a private island in Greece is a matter of legacy. Independent islands with history and infrastructure already prepared for use are practically nonexistent, according to Georg Petras.
