Where should I live in Kefalonia?
We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Kefalonia, 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. Next, you should research the different areas of Kefalonia to decide where you'd like to live. Some popular areas include Argostoli, the island's capital, and the coastal towns of Lixouri and Fiskardo. Each area has its own unique charm and amenities, so it's important to choose a location that suits your lifestyle and needs. Once you've decided on a location, you can start searching for available properties. There are several online real estate platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Kefalonia, such as Spitogatos, XE, and HomeGreekHome. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, price, and other criteria. In addition to online searches, you might 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 legal process of renting or buying a property in Greece. 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's condition, check out the neighborhood, and see if it truly meets your needs. Finally, once you've found your ideal home, you'll need to sign a lease or purchase agreement. This should be done with the assistance of a lawyer to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that your rights are protected. Remember, moving to a new country can be a complex process, so it's important to take your time, do your research, and seek professional advice when necessary," explained one expat living in Kefalonia, Greece.
