The Hellenic Cadastre, Greece’s national land registry, says the cadastral survey of the regional units of Magnesia and the Sporades was completed on Friday 23 October 2026. The areas that moved to full operation add 174,121 properties and 170,264 rights to its database.
According to the Hellenic Cadastre press release of 26 October, the areas that switched are:
- The municipalities of Almyros and Rigas Feraios.
- Parts of Volos: Sesklo (Aisonia unit), Aidinio and Mikrothives (Nea Anchialos unit) and Glafyra (Nea Ionia unit).
- Parts of South Pelion: Argalasti and Metochi (Argalasti unit), and the Sipiada and Trikeri units.
- Skopelos, in the Sporades.
With them, the municipalities of Volos, Almyros, South Pelion, Rigas Feraios and Skopelos are now included in the Cadastre in full, the release says.
The release says all transactions with the Cadastre in these areas are now carried out digitally. Notarial deeds are filed digitally, except in special cases. Lawyers, bailiffs and public bodies such as AADE, the tax authority, also file electronically.
Correction requests and database searches are digital, and certificates can be ordered online at any hour. The megaron stamp (megarosimo) on applications and certificates is abolished, payments are electronic only, by e-banking or card, and no documents are filed in person. In-person research hours are 08:30 to 13:30, the same across the country.
The local offices are the Thessaly Cadastral Office in Larissa and its branches in Volos and Skiathos. Christos Dermentzopoulos, Deputy Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, said the completion closes another important pending issue for the area.
The switch follows Laconia, which we covered in our report of 14 October.
What it means for buyers
The change covers villages in South Pelion, the Trikeri area and the island of Skopelos, as well as Almyros, Rigas Feraios and the Volos area. Property there is now recorded in the Cadastre database, and all transactions with it are digital.
The Cadastre record shows the registered area, boundaries and rights of each property, and errors are corrected through a digital correction request. Our guide to the Ktimatologio explains which certificates to order. Buyers should confirm how this applies to them with a Greek lawyer.
