St. Athanasios Island is a 2.6 acres undeveloped private island in Gulf of Corinth, near Delphi, Greece. It is currently offered for sale: €2,200,000 (guide). Tenure is freehold. Foreign ownership is permitted subject to local approvals. This is an editorial profile drawn from public record, clearly attributed, not our listing.

Summary

St. Athanasios is a small freehold island of about 2.6 acres in the Gulf of Corinth near Delphi, publicly listed at €2.2M with pre-approved permission for a roughly 250 m² home. Its standout feature is being outside Natura 2000 protection — unusual for a Greek island, and the reason it is genuinely buildable.

Land & Waterfront

Pine and olive trees, clear water and a small sandy beach on the north-west coast. It is a private-retreat island rather than a resort asset — scaled for a single house and its garden.

Access & Utilities

About 1.5 miles from Itea, near the port of Galaxidi and within reach of Delphi and the Parnassos ski resort. Electricity and water are not detailed on the public listing and should be established early, given the undeveloped state.

Ownership & Use

With building permission already granted, the intended use is a private home. The freehold title and the absence of Natura 2000 constraint are the assets; the practical work is servicing an undeveloped island and confirming any foreign-buyer approvals.
