Novak Djokovic is reportedly planning a permanent move to Athens this September, according to multiple Greek media outlets. The 24-time Grand Slam champion, long known for his affection for Greece, appears ready to make the country his new home base as he approaches the twilight of his legendary tennis career.
The Serbian star was recently seen dining with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in central Athens, fueling speculation about his relocation. Reports also indicate that Djokovic and his wife Jelena have been house-hunting in the city’s northern suburbs and exploring international schools for their children, Stefan and Tara.
Djokovic is expected to take advantage of Greece’s Golden Visa program, which grants residency to non-EU nationals who invest in the country. This move would allow him to split time between tournaments while enjoying a family-oriented lifestyle in a city he has frequently praised for its culture, climate, and Orthodox heritage.
While Djokovic remains active on the ATP Tour, his decision to settle in Athens reflects a shift in priorities toward family life and long-term planning. With regular flights to Belgrade and a deep personal connection to Greece, Athens offers a fitting backdrop for the next chapter in his journey.
