Old towns in Greece give character and history to a place, even when situated alongside a new town. They add photo opportunities and historical interest to holidays, and make a town feel homely. There is just something magical about living in a town that has a castle and old stone alleyways. They conjure up images of the ancient past and the people who once lived there. Finding property for sale right in the old town can be difficult as they are very sought-after. However, you will probably find something at a lower price within visiting distance.
