Also known as Ανατολική Αττική (Greek)
East Attica is the regional unit that covers the eastern and northern part of the Attica region beyond the Athens conurbation, reaching the Aegean coast and taking in Athens International Airport. Its towns range from large suburbs such as Acharnes to seaside resorts and rural villages.
Plenty of English speakers own a holiday house or a plot of land here, so questions about Property Law and the probate of an estate come up often. Residence permits under Immigration and the registration of a company are other typical reasons to contact an English-speaking lawyer in Greece.
