Real Estate Corfu

Are you interested in buying a property on Corfu? Then you should consider a few things. Corfu, with its capital Kerkyra, is one of the best-known Greek islands and is therefore a very popular tourist destination. The island is 60 km long and is located in the Ionian Sea between Italy and the Greek mainland coast, which runs parallel. In the meantime, more and more long-term holidaymakers are coming to the capital Kerkyra.

In general, Corfu has a very well-developed infrastructure, so that you can reach every spot quickly and easily. This leaves you plenty of time for the essentials. Corfu is the northernmost Ionian island and is famous all over the world for its natural beauty. For this reason, it is not surprising that the island was a source of inspiration for poets, kings and artists in ancient times. The island is characterised by romantic landscapes, ancient olive trees, turquoise sea, beautiful beach bays and towering cypress trees. Although Corfu attracts many tourists year after year, it is not too crowded even in high season, so you can still enjoy your peace and quiet even in summer. The Kanoni Panorama Platform is particularly popular and quickly captivates not only small but also big children. A few steps away, however, you can also pay a visit to the Mice Island or the Vlacherna Monastery. However, the small neighbouring islands of Antipaxos and Paxos are also popular places to visit. Many people arrive there by sailing boat. The area of Paleokastritsa consists of five bays and is also one of the most famous hot spots on the island. However, you should note that this is no longer a quiet place. Many locals and holidaymakers now use it as an excursion destination.

If you are interested in buying a property on Corfu, a condominium is generally a very good alternative, because there you can feel the multicultural exchange particularly well. Depending on the location, properties on the island have very different price tendencies. The distance of the property from the sea is particularly responsible for the differences. Properties are very popular not only in the capital Kerkyra, but also in the smaller seaside resorts. These are scattered in the numerous bays of the island in all wind directions. Of course, not only the capital is very attractive for real estate investments, but also the numerous picturesque villages of Corfu. Popular capes on Corfu are, for example, Cape Drastis in the north, Agia Ekaterini, the capes of Asprokavou and Lefkimi in the south or Kefali, which is located opposite the Italian mainland on the west coast. However, the island's appearance is also determined by the many bays and in particular the bay of Ipsos, which is located on the east coast, Mantouki, Garitsa or the Chalkiopoulou lagoon. Especially if you want to buy a property with a partner or your family, this part of the Ionian Sea is very suitable. To finance your property, Greek banks are also willing to grant loans to foreign buyers. The collateral is then provided in the form of a mortgage. Not only on Corfu, but also on Rhodes or Symi, there are now many holiday homes for sale. This is due to the Greek debt crisis. For this reason, the general conditions are very attractive at the moment. If you buy a Greek property at the moment, you can be sure that you will not have to demolish it in the future because of the "legalisation law".
