In Athens's pro-Palestinian heartland, Israeli buyers are sparking resentment among residents who claim short-term rentals are driving up rents and eroding the area's character.
Al Jazeera's Nils Adler reports from Exarchia, a neighborhood known for its pro-Palestinian stance, where residents express growing frustration over the impact of Israeli property investments. The area's traditional character is reportedly being transformed by the influx of short-term rental properties.
Housing concerns
Locals claim that many Israeli-owned properties are being converted into short-term rentals, leading to increased housing costs and displacement of long-term residents. The issue has become a flashpoint in the already politically charged neighborhood.
