How do I find a place to live in Zakynthos?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Zakynthos, 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 capacity. Next, you should research the different areas of Zakynthos to decide where you'd like to live. The island has a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm and characteristics. Some areas are more touristy, while others are quieter and more residential. Once you've decided on a location, you can start your search for a property. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals or properties for sale in Zakynthos, such as HomeGreekHome, Spitogatos, and Airbnb for short-term rentals. You can also contact local real estate agencies directly. They can provide you with a list of available properties and arrange viewings. Some reputable agencies in Zakynthos include EuroResales, Greek Island Homes, and Zakynthos Real Estate. When you find a property you're interested in, it's important to visit it in person before making a decision. This will allow you to assess the condition of the property, its proximity to amenities, and the neighborhood. Finally, once you've found your ideal home, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement. It's advisable to hire a local lawyer to help you with this process to ensure that all legal aspects are properly handled. Remember, moving to a new country involves more than just finding a place to live. You'll also need to consider other factors such as healthcare, transportation, and cost of living. It's recommended to spend some time in Zakynthos before making a permanent move to get a feel for the island and its lifestyle," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Zakynthos.
