How do I find a place to live in Heraklion?

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

"Finding a place to live in Heraklion, 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 Heraklion to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to the city center, while others may be more residential or closer to the beach. 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 Heraklion, such as Spitogatos, XE, and HomeGreekHome. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, price, size, and other factors. In addition to online searches, you may also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insight into the local market and help you navigate the process of finding and securing a rental. When you find a place that you're interested in, it's important to visit it in person before making any commitments. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and the surrounding area, and to ask any questions you may have. Finally, once you've found a place that you're happy with, you'll need to sign a lease agreement. Be sure to read this carefully and understand all the terms before signing. You may also need to pay a deposit at this time. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's important to be patient and not rush the process. With a bit of research and perseverance, you'll be able to find a great place to live in Heraklion," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Heraklion.
