"Finding a place to live in Corfu 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 large villa, depending on your needs and financial capabilities. Next, you should research different areas in Corfu to find a location that suits your lifestyle. Some people might prefer the bustling atmosphere of Corfu Town, while others might prefer the tranquility of a small village in the countryside. Consider factors such as proximity to amenities, the local community, and the general atmosphere of the area. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Corfu, such as HomeGreekHome, Spitogatos, and Airbnb for short-term rentals. These platforms allow you to filter your search based on location, price, property type, and other factors. In addition to online platforms, you might also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insights into the local property market and help you navigate the process of renting or buying a property in Greece. Make sure to choose a reputable agent who is registered with the Greek Real Estate Federation (POMIDA). Once you've found a property that you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you might have. If you're not in Greece, you might be able to arrange a virtual viewing. If you decide to proceed with a property, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or sale with the landlord or seller. This will typically involve discussing the price, the length of the lease, and any other conditions. If you're buying a property, you'll also need to hire a lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the transaction. Finally, once the terms have been agreed upon, you can sign the lease or purchase agreement and move into your new home in Corfu," wrote a member who made the move to Corfu, Greece.
