yes I am an EA in Turkey, but I have a good friend who bought in Greece about 8 years ago - they had a problem similar to your friend, as in there was a dispute regarding land ownership when they eventually were ready to build. They consulted several solicitors to get a general consensus of the way forward - most charged nothing for a general chat, and some charged about £20 old irish pounds. She picked one of the solicitors to look after the case. They ended up paying about £1000 old irish pounds at the time, and it took 2 years, but they did win. This was in rhodes however, so perhaps solicitors are more apporachable there?
I am confused on one point however. firstly you said:

bought a piece of land in Artemis, East Attica in order to build a holiday home.

then you said later:

No money was set aside to build a property because it was not considered essential

sorry if i misunderstood, but from your original post it looked as though the land was bought with the intention of building a holiday home, all I was suggesting was that some of the money intended for the buld now be spent on a solicitor to try to resolve the situation rather than perhaps loose the land. for some reason this seems to have ofended you, but I can't for the life of me understand why, as based upon your original post I thought it was a fair comment.
Have you visited the Brisith consulate site and searched for a solicitor in Greece who is recognised by them? or perhaps search for companies with a Greek branch - not sure if this is possible, so don't jump down my throat again, but there are British solicitors with turkish offices and solicitors familiar with Turkish law, so there may be solicitors fitting the same bill regarding Greece. If this is true then a phone call to them to arrange a consultation in the UK would be considerably less than €750, and may even be free.
