Buying in Nissaki: what overseas buyers should know
Nissaki lies on Corfu's north-east coast and draws buyers who want a hillside home above clear, deep water. The area is quieter than the larger resorts and is known for villas set into green slopes, many with wide views across to the mainland. Owners here are often experienced visitors to Corfu who value privacy and a coastal outlook over a busy village centre.
What buyers are looking for in Nissaki
Property is led by villas with pools and sea views, built along the slopes that rise steeply from the coast. There are smaller homes and apartments closer to the shoreline and its coves, though the area is defined by its view properties. Homes with direct water access or an open outlook tend to attract the most interest.
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 Nissaki
Nissaki sits along the wooded north-east coast of Corfu, a stretch prized for deep water and hillside views. The area is spread across slopes and small coves rather than a single centre, so homes range from shoreline apartments to villas set high above the sea. To the north, Kassiopi offers a harbour village on the same coast and is worth viewing alongside Nissaki.
Choice here leans towards view villas with pools, so it helps to decide how much you value level access to the water against an elevated outlook. A local partner agent can walk you through the trade-offs. Explore our collections to shortlist by the way you want to live.
