How do I find a place to live in Rethymno?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Rethymno, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a larger house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Rethymno to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to the beach, while others may be more central and closer to amenities like shops and restaurants. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals in Rethymno, such as HomeGreekHome, Spitogatos, and XE. These websites allow you to filter your search based on factors like price, size, location, and type of property. In addition to online listings, you may also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insight into the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the process of signing a lease. When you find a property you're interested in, it's important to visit it in person before making a decision. This will give you a chance to inspect the property, check its condition, and get a feel for the neighborhood. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a lease. Make sure to read the contract carefully and understand all the terms before signing. It's also a good idea to have a Greek-speaking friend or lawyer review the contract to ensure you're not missing any important details. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's important to be patient and not rush the process. With careful planning and research, you'll be able to find a great place to live in Rethymno," said one person in Rethymno.
