A personally delivered advisory service — covering property strategy, tax, legal, location and relocation — that takes you from first question to a complete, actionable plan for your life in Greece.
Fully credited against your transaction. Delivered by Marcus personally. Held in complete confidence.
£2,500
Standard · from £2,500 · complex briefs from £3,500 · family briefs £5,000
Questions about tax. About legal process. About the right location. About schools or healthcare or how to structure residency. About what life actually looks like in Corfu in January.
The Discovery Programme answers all of those questions — personally, comprehensively, by someone who knows Greece — and transforms an uncertain enquirer into a confident, committed buyer with a clear plan.
"I've been thinking about Corfu for three years. After the Discovery Programme I had a location shortlist, a tax briefing specific to my situation, and three trusted advisers introduced personally. I made an offer within six weeks."

"What stopped me moving to Greece wasn't money or desire. It was not knowing who to trust. Marcus answered that question for me."
— Discovery client, UAE
Delivered over 10–14 working days. Every step personally managed by Marcus. Every document named to you and held in confidence.
The Discovery Call
A 60-minute video call with Marcus. No agenda imposed. You talk — about your life, your timeline, your motivations, what Greece means to you and what worries you about making the move. This conversation shapes everything that follows. You leave feeling understood, not processed.
The Location Intelligence Report
A personalised location analysis addressing your specific brief — not a generic destination guide. Three to four locations shortlisted and assessed against your stated priorities: family needs, lifestyle, investment profile, community, accessibility. 1,500–2,000 words, professionally presented.
Tax & Residency Briefing
A written briefing on your specific tax position — prepared by Pelagos and reviewed by our trusted Greek tax adviser. UK–Greece DTT implications. ENFIA. Golden Visa eligibility. Non-dom status. Capital gains. What structures might apply to your situation. The questions that stop buyers moving forward, answered directly.
Trusted Adviser Introductions
Personal introductions from Marcus — in writing — to the right advisers for your situation. Independent Greek property lawyer. Greek accountant and tax adviser. Currency broker for FX planning. Relocation specialist if relevant. These are not directory referrals. They are personal introductions to people Marcus trusts.
The Relocation Roadmap
A personalised action plan: what happens in what order, what decisions need to be made when, what the timeline looks like from today to keys-in-hand. AFM, legal milestones, residency registration, banking setup, school registration if relevant — practical, chronological, specific to your brief.
Property Strategy
A written recommendation on what type of property to look for, in which locations, at what price points and through which channels. Whether to prioritise portal listings, partner agent introductions or off-market access. Whether to buy now or observe for one season. Specific areas and villages that match your brief precisely.
30-Day Follow-Up Call
A 30-minute call one month after delivery of the full report package. To answer questions that have emerged, refine the strategy as you have had time to absorb the information, and discuss next steps — whether a viewing trip, a further conversation, or activation of the partner introduction.
Every tier includes all seven steps. The difference is complexity, scope and follow-up depth. All fees are fully credited against your property transaction within 24 months.

Fully credited on completion.
The Discovery Programme fee is deducted in full from any Pelagos advisory or referral fee when your property transaction completes. You invest now in clarity. You recover it on completion. If no transaction completes within 24 months, the Discovery stands as a complete advisory service in its own right.
Is the Discovery Programme a sales process designed to get me to buy?
No. The Discovery Programme is a standalone advisory service. If, at the end of it, you decide Greece is not right for you, the Discovery has still done its job. We would rather give you that clarity now than have you make a significant purchase you later regret. Our long-term reputation depends on honest advice, not transaction volume.
Who delivers the Discovery Programme?
Marcus personally. Every Discovery is a direct relationship — not delegated to a consultant, not managed through a system. You deal with one person throughout. That person is the founder of Pelagos, resident between Corfu and London, with direct personal knowledge of the markets and advisers he recommends.
Is the tax briefing actual tax advice?
The Tax & Residency Briefing is information, not formal tax advice. It is prepared by Pelagos and reviewed for accuracy by our trusted Greek tax adviser, but it is framed as informational content to be confirmed with your own advisers. We introduce you to those advisers as part of Step 4 — so you have the right person to confirm every point directly.
What if I want to buy in a market other than Greece?
The Discovery Programme is currently available for Greece only — the market where Pelagos has the deepest knowledge and partner network. For other markets, our intelligence reports and matching tool provide guidance, and we make partner introductions where appropriate. The Discovery Programme will expand to Portugal and Spain in 2028.
How do I pay and what is the refund policy?
Payment is by bank transfer in full in advance. A receipt and written confirmation are issued on the same day. We offer a 50% refund if cancelled before delivery of the Location Intelligence Report (Step 2). No refund after Step 2 delivery, as the significant work has been completed at that point.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your details, your brief, your financial position and your acquisition intent are held by Marcus and shared with no one without your explicit consent for a specific introduction. We do not maintain shared databases, we do not circulate client details, and we do not publish transaction records. Your Discovery is entirely private.
