Good afternoon, dear Julia!
The process of issuing documents for the purchase of real estate is the same for both EU citizens and citizens of other countries. You will be able to live in Greece without restrictions (year-round), if you do not do business, otherwise (when doing business) it will be necessary to pay income tax. As for your spouse, he can apply for a residence permit for a period of 1 year without the right to work with the right of extension on the basis of marriage with an EU citizen. Such a residence permit is issued within 1 month.
For the permanent residence of the whole family, I would recommend that you pay attention primarily to the peninsula Peloponnese, Evia or Athens region.
I will be glad to advise you in more detail and help you choose the best options. You are welcome!
Sincerely, Anastasia

Good afternoon, Julia! The process of real estate registration is the same for both Greek citizens and foreigners, the only exception is that the tax residents of Greece are obliged to explain the origin of capital, while it is not enough for residents to get money from the bank of any other country.
If you have EU citizenship, you can certainly live year-round in Greece, and your husband can live on a multi-visa for 3 months in each half-year, for a year-round residence he needs to obtain a residence permit for financially independent persons, confirming his financial independence. this kind of residence permit does not give him the right to work in Greece.
For permanent residence, I recommend buying near major cities, primarily in Athens and Thessaloniki (including Chalkidiki) and in the suburbs.
