It's one of the first questions buyers with an eye on letting ask, and a fair one. As a rough guide, holiday homes in Corfu can return in the region of 8 to 10% a year before tax, though that figure needs unpacking. It's a gross estimate, before costs and tax, and it varies a great deal with location, the property itself, the season, and how well it's run. Net returns are noticeably lower once everything is accounted for. So treat any yield as an estimate rather than a promise. Here's a realistic look at what drives rental returns in Corfu, and what to weigh before counting on them.

Naxos has claimed the number one spot among the world’s best travel destinations for 2026, according to research connected with the World Travel Market (WTM) in London. The announcement has drawn international attention and confirms what seasoned travellers have been quietly discovering for years: Naxos is one of Greece’s most complete and authentic island destinations. The ranking was shaped by award-winning travel blogger Marta Ostoya, following extensive field research across 40 countries. By combining emerging travel trends presented at WTM with firsthand travel experiences, her list reflects what modern travellers are truly seeking: places that feel genuine, unhurried, and deeply connected to local culture.

Thessaloniki has a real case for short-term lets, and it's a different one from the islands. Demand here doesn't disappear in winter: a large student population, a busy conference and business calendar, and year-round city tourism keep visitors coming across the seasons. That steadiness is the city's main appeal for this kind of investment. There's an important catch, though, that you need to know before you buy. New rules are restricting fresh short-term rental registrations in the central core, which changes where, and whether, an Airbnb plan makes sense. Here's the honest picture.

Ask what Corfu is known for, and the answer runs longer than for most Greek islands. It's the green one, lush and wooded where others are sun-bleached, and the cosmopolitan one, shaped by centuries of Venetian, French, and British rule rather than the usual whitewashed Cycladic look. Add a UNESCO-listed old town, some of the Ionian's loveliest beaches, and easy flights from across Europe, and you have an island that feels a little different from the rest of Greece. Here's what gives Corfu its character, and why it draws so many people to visit and to stay.

Greece is rapidly evolving from a historically modest digital landscape to a modern, high-speed internet hub. For decades, slower connections and limited broadband access made reliable internet a challenge, especially outside major cities and on the islands. In 2026, strategic investments in connectivity infrastructure are reshaping Greece’s digital reality and influencing everything, from property values and remote work trends to tourism appeal and everyday life. Today, strong internet connectivity is no longer a luxury; it’s a must-have for global buyers, digital nomads, and local professionals. Whether you’re considering Greek real estate as an investment or a place to live, understanding the connectivity landscape in Greece is essential.

Lefkada is known, first and foremost, for its beaches, and they're among the most striking in Europe. Porto Katsiki, with its sheer white cliffs above impossibly blue water, is the postcard image, though it's far from the only one. What makes the island unusual, though, is how you reach it. Lefkada is joined to the mainland by a bridge, so unlike almost every other Greek island, you simply drive across, with no ferry required. That combination, a world-class coastline with easy access, is the heart of its appeal. Here's what else Lefkada is known for.
