Buying in Acharavi: what overseas buyers should know
Acharavi runs along the north coast of Corfu and suits buyers who want a long sandy beach, level ground and a village with year-round amenities. It is more relaxed than the busier resorts and draws families and second-home owners who value space and easy access to the water. Property here includes villas on the plain and lower slopes, along with village homes and apartments close to the beach and shops.
What buyers are looking for in Acharavi
The north coast offers flatter, more open land than the steep north-east, so villas here often come with gardens and pool space at a gentler grade. Closer to the village you will find homes and apartments within walking distance of the beach, tavernas and shops. Homes with garden space and level access are a particular draw for families and longer-stay owners.
Buying as an overseas buyer
UK buyers can own freely in Greece and will need a Greek tax number (AFM). Visits follow the position of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area, with a residency-by-investment (Golden Visa) route through property for longer stays, at levels that vary by area, so take current advice. A notary oversees the purchase with a lawyer, ongoing costs include the annual property tax (ENFIA), and Greek banks lend to non-residents, usually with a larger deposit.

Where to find property for sale in Acharavi
Acharavi spreads along the northern coast of Corfu, where the land is flatter and more open than the island's steeper coasts. The village gives a walkable centre with shops and tavernas, while the plain and lower slopes behind hold villas with gardens and pools. To the east, the coast leads towards Kassiopi and its harbour, so it is easy to compare the north coast with the north-east.
Property types run from beachside apartments and village homes to detached villas with outside space. The level ground makes Acharavi worth considering for buyers who want easy access and room for a garden. Explore our collections to shortlist by the way you want to live.
