Often when a person is planning on moving to Greece, they are given advice from expats about where in the country that person should live. However, even if these people recommend a specific location and other members of the group nod in agreement, this still doesn’t help the person who is open to moving anywhere in the country.
Bloggers may talk about ‘Ten Places To Live in Greece’ or ‘Best Cities For Expats,’ but they do not really know what it is like to live in a new place and have not experienced the spectrum of life across multiple cities. The perspective that expats have from living abroad is entirely different from that of someone who is on a gap-year tour, seeing a variety of different places in a short period of time.
In order to solve this issue, we came up with a simple solution. We invite members we have on Facebook who live in the region so that they can write a blog post about their experience. This gives them an opportunity to offer more insight into living in the area and by publishing it online, it allows their followers to get a better understanding of what expat life is like in the area.
The Expat in Greece forum on the site is available for people to share their experience or questions. Head to the main screen, click on the “ARTICLES” tab and follow instructions to log-in and submit yor experience.
Over time, we will continue to add material to this article and hope you find it helpful and continue moving forward. These future updates are worth bookmarking for now.

The dream of a life soaked in Mediterranean sun, surrounded by turquoise waters and steeped in ancient history, finds its perfect home on the Greek island of Corfu. Known as the “Emerald Isle” of Greece for its breathtakingly lush landscapes, Corfu offers an experience that goes far beyond a simple vacation.
It presents a unique way of life, blending a rich cultural tapestry with a relaxed pace, delectable cuisine, and a vibrant, welcoming community. For those seeking to trade the rush of modern life for something more profound, living in Corfu is an invitation to embrace a richer, slower, and more connected existence.
Life in Corfu is governed by the philosophy of “siga-siga,” which translates to “slowly, slowly”. This isn’t about laziness, but about a deliberate, unhurried approach to life that prioritises family, hospitality, and genuine human connection over the stress of a faster-paced world. Imagine mornings greeted with a warm “kalimera” (good morning) from neighbours and a day that unfolds at its own natural rhythm. This relaxed atmosphere is complemented by a surprisingly affordable cost of living. For an island so spectacular, property and daily expenses are reasonable, with some expat couples managing comfortably on a budget of €1,500 to €2,500 per month, especially if they own their home.
This lifestyle is set against a backdrop of incredible cultural depth. Unlike much of Greece, Corfu was never under Ottoman rule, and its history is a fascinating mosaic of Byzantine, Venetian, French, and British influences. This legacy is visible everywhere, from the island’s unique architecture and grand palaces to its celebrated musical traditions, which have earned it the nickname “Music Island”. The heart of this heritage is the Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage site where wandering through cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time.
The food in Corfu is a celebration of the healthy and famously delicious Mediterranean diet. The cuisine is built on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, including fruits and vegetables often grown without pesticides, freshly caught fish from the Ionian Sea, and an abundance of local olive oil. You can find everything you need at daily open-air markets, making it easy to adopt a healthy and flavourful way of eating.
Dining out is an experience in itself, with countless family-run tavernas offering authentic, home-cooked meals at reasonable prices. The island’s culinary identity is a unique fusion of Greek and Venetian flavours, creating a distinct gastronomic adventure. Becoming a resident means immersing yourself in this food culture, where meals are social, ingredients are pure, and every dish tells a story of the land and sea.
Corfu’s natural beauty is the setting for a life filled with outdoor activity and exploration. As the greenest of the Greek islands, it boasts a rugged, jungle-like canopy, vibrant wildflowers, and rolling hills that offer stunning panoramic sea views.
Land-Based Experiences: For adventurers, the island is a paradise for hiking, with numerous trails winding through its lush interior and along its dramatic coastline. Exploring the rustic, traditional villages provides a glimpse into the authentic soul of the island, away from the more bustling tourist centres.
Water-Based Experiences: The irresistible draw of the Ionian Sea is ever-present. Corfu is blessed with more than its fair share of pristine beaches and protected coves with crystal-clear, aquamarine waters. The calm, warm sea is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving. For boating enthusiasts, the island features well-equipped marinas that welcome everything from small vessels to superyachts, especially during the summer months.
One of the most compelling reasons to move to Corfu is its community. The island is home to a large, active, and diverse expat community, with people from the UK and many other nations choosing to make it their home. This international presence means it’s easy to connect with like-minded individuals. Expats often organize regular social gatherings and work together on community-focused causes, creating a supportive network for newcomers.
This community exists in harmony with the local Corfiots, who are known for being exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Their genuine warmth and hospitality make it easy for new residents to feel at home and build lasting relationships.
The community-focused attitude is infectious, allowing one to fully immerse in an enriching way of life far from the anonymity of a big city.
