Corfu attracts the most visitors and investors out of
all the Ionian Islands. The historic and beautiful
Venetian town of Corfu is a Unesco World Heritage
site, which when combined with the International
Airport, the International Marina and the fabled
north-east-coast of Corfu, makes Corfu the ideal
place to invest.
The prime area for luxury property is the north-eastcoast, with its charming villages, attractive bays,
exceptional swimming waters and water-front
tavernas. This area is ideal for boating and is
regularly frequented by royal families, which is
testament to its beauty and uniqueness.
Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionians and is well
known for its strikingly beautiful beaches. The north
of the island has pretty waterside villages.
The village of Fiskardo is the Ionian’s yachting
equivalent to St Tropez, with its wonderful harbour,
brightly coloured buildings and excellent tavernas
attracting many of the bigger yachts. This
increasingly popular corner of the Ionian is
becoming an appealing place to invest.
Paxos is a small and chic island with a great
atmosphere that feels like you’ve stepped back in
time. As a result, it has become a desirable place to
invest. Gaios, the island’s capital, is pretty with wellproportioned Venetian houses and a wonderful
harbour, whilst Loggos and Lakka are charming
seafront villages buzzing with boats and tavernas.
The island is densely covered in olive and cypress
trees and has some stunning bays and pebble
beaches with emerald waters perfect for swimming
and boating
