Buying in Kassiopi: what overseas buyers should know
Kassiopi sits on the north-east coast of Corfu and appeals to buyers who want a working harbour village with deep, clear water close by. It has long been popular with British visitors, and many owners here are returning holidaymakers who wanted a permanent base. Property tends towards villas set on the wooded slopes above the coast, along with village homes and apartments near the harbour, positioned for views across to the mainland.
What buyers are looking for in Kassiopi
The area is known for hillside villas with pools and sea views, many built to make the most of the north-east coast's deep water and green backdrop. Closer to the village you will find smaller homes and apartments within walking distance of the harbour and its tavernas. View and coastal properties hold the strongest demand, while homes set a little inland offer more privacy.
Buying as an overseas buyer
UK buyers can own freely in Greece and will need a Greek tax number (AFM). As a visitor you can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area, and a residency-by-investment (Golden Visa) route through property is available, with 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 Kassiopi
Kassiopi anchors the northern end of Corfu's north-east coast, a stretch of Corfu known for wooded slopes running down to deep water. The village itself gives a harbour setting with tavernas and level walking, while the surrounding hillsides hold villas positioned for privacy and sea views. Nearby Nissaki continues the same coastline to the south and is worth considering alongside Kassiopi for buyers set on this part of the island.
Property types run from harbour-side apartments and village homes to larger villas with pools. It helps to decide whether you want to walk to the water or trade that for a quieter hillside position. Explore our collections to shortlist by the way you want to live.
