I started my active business life in Istanbul in 1994. Ever since, every venture I undertook I saw through to completion — handed the keys to the owner personally, and stood behind my work. That is the rule of my latest venture, my Real Estate Marketing Office, and it is mine.
In 2008 I founded Avla Doğa Mimarları. Since that day I have built roads, fields, gardens; I led the infrastructure works of Istanbul's largest projects. Since 2022 I have been actively practicing Real Estate Investment Advisory.
Like every job I do, I make expertise the foundation. The projects I recommend to you in Greece are the result of deep research and informed scrutiny — current and future value, location, and developer character all examined in depth.
Today I travel between Istanbul and Athens at least twice a month. The vast majority of my clients bought their Athens apartment without seeing it first. The reason is one and only one: trust.
I listen to my clients carefully; together we determine their character, what matters to them, and the items on their list of needs. Face-to-face meetings, on-site inspection, presentation and a personalized shortlist — they rescue clients from the confusion they fall into during decision-making.
One thing must not be forgotten: before choosing a property, in the journey of acquiring that property, you must choose your advisor — and establishing mutual loyalty and trust is essential. Because this is your choice.

Let's talk first — then you decide.M. Sami Akbeniz — Your Trusted Partner
Through Sami Akbeniz I found exactly the home I had been dreaming of in Athens. From the search to every step that followed, having him by our side made us very happy. Many thanks for his professionalism, care, and support.
I went through my Golden Visa property purchase in Athens with Avla Consultancy and Mr. Sami Akbeniz. My biggest obstacle was the visa — buying a home without going there felt risky. Sami Akbeniz made his difference clear at exactly this point.
We couldn't go, but Sami Akbeniz did. He visited each of the projects in 4 locations we had selected in Athens. He stepped inside every apartment, filmed serious videos of the view, neighborhood, transportation, and construction quality. "This is how the area looks on a Sunday", "This street is quiet after 8 pm", "This project is 100% Golden Visa compliant" — he shared every detail with us.
We watched the videos, asked questions, compared, and together we chose the project most suited to us. We then signed the reservation contract — thanks to Sami Akbeniz we secured a good deal on price and payment plan. I made my first payment with confidence.
We are now following the sales process step by step. Title deed, bank, Golden Visa application… At every stage he tells us in advance what will happen.
If you want to do this work remotely, with trust, you must work with the right person. I trusted Sami Akbeniz and have no regrets. I recommend the same to everyone planning to buy a home in Athens.
For an invitation, a question, or just to get acquainted. We speak Turkish, French, English and Greek, we make time, and we don't push sales.
