Lefkada Property.

Buying land or a house in Lefkas.

To many people it seems like a dream to live in Greece. Why not make this dream come true and buy a property in Lefkada? Lefkada is a beautiful island that still is relatively unknown.

Lefkas island is often connected with the Onassis family and Scorpios island. Sadly enough nobody lives on the island anymore. But in the summer many luxury yachts of the rich and famous come to see the island of Aristotelis Onassis who once was one of the richest men in the world.

 

Now why do so many people want to come and live in Greece?

• Beautiful weather
  

• Fantastic beaches
  

• Delicious food
  

• Relaxing way of living
  

• Safer environment, less criminality

 

 

Where exactly on the island would you like to buy a Lefkada property? Our villages of Lefkada page  can give you some ideas. If you prefer somewhere quiet with superb sea or inland views, a property in one of the mountain villages may be what you are looking for.

 

Or maybe you like to live near the shops, restaurants and closer to the beach, buying a Lefkada property in resorts like Nidri or Nikiana is more suitable for you.

 

Prices depend of course on your preferences. There is a big difference between a ready made luxury villa with a pool and an old stone house that needs to be renovated from the beginning.

These old stone village houses may seem cheap but you can expect to spend about as much to renovate it. Even if you are a handy man and plan to do all the work yourself you will still have to pay the IKA ( the national insurance) . You will have to pay their estimated working hours for plumbing, tiling, building and electricity.

 

Living and working in Greece is different from being on a holiday. If you are not completely sure whether you will like living in a foreign country like Greece, you can always start with a long term rent.

Rent an apartment for a whole winter season and see if you like living in Greece in the winter. This also gives you the opportunity and enough time to look for a property to buy.

Get together with people that have made the big step and bought their Lefkada property. Ask how they have done it and about their experiences with real estate agents, building permits and lawyers.
