The Ionian Islands are famous for their lovely beaches and their beautiful mountains. Tourists are drawn to them since decades – which keeps property prices up high even throughout the financial crisis. As Corfu is the most famous of the islands, it no doubt is an excellent choice for buying property.

Corfu’s gorgeous landscape – bright, sandy beaches, thick groves of fruit and olive trees, charming little fishing villages, pebbled coves, and cool springs and lagoons – have made it the most visited and tourist-oriented island in the Ionian.

Its principal town, also called Corfu, is quite cosmopolitan with international shops, cuisines, and a lively nightlife. There are sports facilities such as a golf course, one of the best in all of Greece, tennis courts, and riding clubs.

All this in total causes that property prices remain stable and make a buy here an excellent choice – either for your own use or for holiday letting.
