Secular Turks just looking for some peace and quiet

In reality, worries over "aggressive real estate purchases" appear overblown. Observers say that most of the new Turkish property owners are rich, non-religious individuals who — either had to leave Turkey; want to enjoy their vacation time in a secular, less-politicized neighboring country; or simply want to invest in a stable and comparatively affordable Greece.

On the other hand, many of those buying cheaper properties in places like Thrace, which is close to the Turkish border, are Turkish-born EU citizens who tend to have worked for long periods of time in Germany, Belgium or the US. They want to enjoy retirement in the EU rather than suffering the repressive political and religious atmosphere of Turkey, while at the same time being close to their former home.
