​

Located in the traditional village of Antiperni in Northern Corfu, this charming cottage offers the opportunity to own your own Greek island retreat for an initial payment of just €5,000.

​

The property is situated in a traditional Corfiot village with a year-round local community, surrounded by the lush green countryside for which Corfu is famous, yet only around 2.5 km from the popular seaside resort of Sidari.

​

With a mezzanine sleeping area, equipped kitchen, living space, shower room, air conditioning and a private wooden deck overlooking the surrounding countryside and hills, this is a compact property with plenty of character.

​

The seller also believes the cottage has potential as a short-term holiday rental, with estimated seasonal nightly rates ranging from approximately €55 in the quieter months to €115 during peak summer periods.

​

It could make an ideal personal holiday home, a base for spending longer periods in Corfu or potentially a short-term holiday rental, subject to the necessary legal and licensing checks.

THE PROPERTY

The cottage has been cleverly arranged to make excellent use of its compact footprint, with an open-plan living area below and a separate mezzanine sleeping level above.

​

The high pitched timber ceiling adds considerably to the character of the interior and helps create a much more spacious feel than you might expect from a smaller property.

​

The accommodation includes:

• Open-plan living and kitchen area
• Mezzanine sleeping area with double bed
• Fitted kitchen
• Breakfast bar with seating
• Induction hob
• Countertop oven
• Fridge
• Washing machine
• Living area with sofa and chair
• Wall-mounted television
• Air conditioning
• Shower room
• WC and wash basin
• High timber-lined pitched ceiling
• Private wooden deck
• Additional outdoor ground
• Open countryside, hill and village views

​

The property is already furnished and equipped, making it suitable for someone looking for a relatively straightforward Corfu escape.

OPEN-PLAN LIVING AREA

The main living space combines the lounge and kitchen while still providing clearly defined areas for relaxing, eating and cooking.

The lounge includes comfortable seating, a wall-mounted television and air conditioning.

The high ceiling and exposed timber roof provide a particularly attractive feature and give the cottage plenty of Mediterranean character.

Natural light enters through the windows while the neutral interior provides a relaxed setting for one or two people.

MEZZANINE SLEEPING AREA

Above the kitchen is a dedicated mezzanine sleeping area, reached from the main living space.

A double bed sits beneath the pitched wooden roof, creating a cosy sleeping area without taking valuable space away from the living accommodation below.

This clever use of the property's height means the main floor can remain focused on living, cooking and dining.

EQUIPPED KITCHEN

For a cottage of this size, the kitchen is particularly well equipped.

There is a good amount of fitted storage and worktop space together with a breakfast bar overlooking the living area.

The kitchen includes:

• Fitted wall and base units
• Wooden-effect worktops
• Sink
• Induction cooking
• Countertop oven
• Refrigerator
• Washing machine
• Breakfast bar
• Kitchen storage
• Small appliance space

This makes the property much more practical for extended stays rather than simply occasional overnight accommodation.

SHOWER ROOM

The cottage has a separate shower room with:

• Shower
• WC
• Wash basin
• Mirror
• Window for natural light and ventilation

It provides everything required for either personal use or holiday accommodation.

PRIVATE DECK WITH OPEN COUNTRYSIDE & HILL VIEWS

One of the standout features of the property is its private wooden deck and open outlook across the lush Corfiot countryside.

From the property you can look out over mature greenery, colourful planting and wooded hills, with traditional village buildings visible in the distance.

​

The view gives the cottage a real sense of space and tranquillity, particularly considering its village location.

There is room on the deck for outdoor dining, seating and sun loungers, making it an ideal place for breakfast, an afternoon drink or relaxing in the evening.

​

The combination of greenery, hills and traditional Corfu scenery is one of the property's strongest lifestyle features.

During Corfu's long warmer season, the deck effectively becomes an extension of the cottage itself and provides an attractive outdoor living area for both owners and holiday guests.

ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR SPACE

There is also some additional ground immediately beside the cottage.

This offers the possibility of enhancing the outdoor area with Mediterranean planting, pots, herbs, flowers or additional seating, depending on the new owner's plans and any permissions that may be required.

With some thoughtful landscaping, this could further increase the appeal of the outdoor space.

TRADITIONAL CORFU VILLAGE LIVING

The cottage is located in Antiperni, a small traditional village in Northern Corfu.

This is quite different from buying an apartment directly inside one of the island's larger tourist resorts.

​

Antiperni has a year-round local community, traditional homes, narrow lanes and surrounding countryside.

The property is positioned close to the heart of the village while enjoying an open outlook over the green landscape beyond.

This gives an owner the opportunity to experience a quieter and more authentic side of Greek island life while still being only a few minutes from beaches, shops, restaurants and the major tourist centres of Northern Corfu.

SIDARI – APPROXIMATELY 2.5 KM AWAY

One of the property's biggest advantages is its proximity to Sidari, one of Corfu's best-known northern resorts.

Sidari is approximately 2.5 km from Antiperni, making the beach, restaurants, shops and nightlife easily accessible from the property.

It offers a completely different atmosphere from the village.

​

You could spend the morning enjoying the peace and countryside around Antiperni, then be beside the sea in Sidari within minutes.

Sidari has a long sandy beach together with numerous restaurants, cafés, bars, shops and tourist facilities.

It is also a popular starting point for boat trips and excursions around the northern coastline.

During the summer months Sidari becomes one of the livelier destinations in Northern Corfu.

SIDARI BEACH

Sidari Beach is one of the main beaches on Corfu's north coast.

Its sandy shoreline and relatively shallow water have made it particularly popular with visitors staying in the north of the island.

Along the resort you will find beach bars, restaurants, cafés, water activities and places to spend an entire day beside the sea.

For the owner of this cottage, it means you can live in a peaceful village setting without giving up easy access to a major beach resort.

CANAL D'AMOUR

Just beyond the main area of Sidari is one of Corfu's most famous natural attractions – Canal d'Amour, meaning the "Channel of Love".

The coastline here is quite different from an ordinary beach.

Wind and sea erosion have carved the sandstone into channels, coves, arches and unusual rock formations, producing one of the most recognisable landscapes in Corfu.

Local legend says couples who swim through the channel together will remain in love.

Whether you believe the legend or not, Canal d'Amour is one of the places visitors to Northern Corfu tend to seek out and is only a short journey from Antiperni.

MERMAID'S ROCK & APOTRIPITI

The coastline around Sidari contains several smaller coves and rock formations in addition to the main resort beach.

Apotripiti Beach is one of the smaller coves in this area, close to the distinctive rock formations sometimes referred to locally as Mermaid's Rock.

​

It offers a quieter alternative to the main Sidari beach and is surrounded by the dramatic sandstone landscape for which this stretch of coast is known.

CAPE DRASTIS

Continue along Corfu's north-west coast and you reach Cape Drastis, another of the island's most photographed natural landscapes.

The coastline is characterised by pale cliffs, narrow coves and bright blue-green water.

It is particularly worthwhile for anyone who enjoys exploring the island by car rather than simply staying in one resort.

LOGGAS BEACH & SUNSET VIEWS

Close to Cape Drastis is Loggas Beach, well known for its dramatic cliff setting and sunsets over the Ionian Sea.

It is another excellent destination for an afternoon or evening trip from the property.

Northern Corfu provides enough different beaches and coastal landscapes that you could visit somewhere different on most days of a holiday.

OTHER BEACHES NEARBY

Owners in Antiperni have a wide choice of beaches within Northern Corfu.

These include:

• Sidari Beach
• Canal d'Amour
• Apotripiti Beach
• Astrakeri Beach
• Gialos Beach
• Roda Beach
• Acharavi Beach
• Loggas Beach
• Arillas
• Agios Stefanos
• Agios Georgios

This variety is one of the major attractions of the location.

You are not dependent on a single beach or resort.

RODA & ACHARAVI

Travelling east along the north coast brings you to Roda and Acharavi.

Both are established coastal resorts offering additional beaches, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés.

Acharavi is one of the larger settlements in Northern Corfu and is useful for everyday services as well as tourism.

Together with Sidari, these towns provide property owners with a broad range of amenities within the northern part of the island.

SHOPPING & EVERYDAY AMENITIES

For everyday supplies there are local shops within the surrounding villages, while Sidari, Roda and Acharavi provide a much wider range of supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, restaurants, cafés and general shopping.

This makes Antiperni practical as more than simply a holiday destination.

You can enjoy the quieter setting of the village while having larger resort amenities only a short drive away.

CORFU'S MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE

Corfu has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and generally mild winters.

Average daytime highs are around:

• April: 20°C
• May: 24°C
• June: 29°C
• July: 32°C
• August: 33°C
• September: 28°C
• October: 24°C

​

Even January averages a daytime high of around 14°C.

​

Corfu receives more winter rainfall than some Greek islands, which is one reason the island is so famously green, with extensive olive groves, forests and lush vegetation.

The long warm season also means outdoor areas such as the property's deck can be enjoyed for a substantial part of the year.

CORFU CULTURE & LIFESTYLE

Corfu is one of Greece's most distinctive islands.

Centuries of Greek, Venetian, French and British influence have helped shape its architecture, food and culture.

​

Across the island you will find:

• Traditional Greek villages
• Olive groves
• Local tavernas
• Venetian architecture
• Historic churches
• Coastal villages
• Mountain scenery
• Beaches and hidden coves
• Walking routes
• Boat trips
• Local festivals and celebrations

​

Northern Corfu is particularly appealing to buyers who want access to tourism while still being able to retreat to quieter countryside and village surroundings.

PALEOKASTRITSA

One of Corfu's most famous destinations is Paleokastritsa, on the island's west coast.

Known for its green hills, clear water, sheltered bays and dramatic coastline, it is one of the places most frequently associated with classic Corfu scenery.

Visitors can enjoy the beaches, boat trips around the coves and sea caves or explore the surrounding hills.

It makes an excellent day trip from Antiperni.

ANGELOKASTRO

Above the Paleokastritsa area stands Angelokastro, a historic Byzantine castle positioned high on a rocky hill.

The elevated location provides spectacular views across Corfu's western coastline and surrounding countryside.

It is particularly worthwhile for anyone interested in the history of the island as well as its beaches.

IPSOS

Further down the east coast is the popular resort of Ipsos.

Ipsos has a long beachfront lined with restaurants, cafés and bars and is considerably livelier during the summer season.

It provides yet another side of Corfu to explore and can comfortably be visited from Northern Corfu by car.

CORFU TOWN

No stay in Corfu would be complete without spending time in Corfu Town, also known as Kerkyra.

Corfu Town is approximately a 40–50 minute drive from Northern Corfu, depending on traffic and the exact route.

Its historic centre is very different from the island's beach resorts.

​

Here you can explore:

• Narrow pedestrian streets
• Venetian architecture
• The Old Fortress
• The New Fortress
• Spianada Square
• The Liston
• Churches and museums
• Cafés and restaurants
• Shops and boutiques
• The waterfront and harbour

It is an excellent destination for shopping, dining or simply wandering through the old streets.

CORFU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Corfu International Airport – Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport (CFU) is located beside Corfu Town.

From Northern Corfu, typical driving times are around 45–55 minutes, depending on traffic.

During the main tourism season Corfu has direct flight connections with numerous European cities, including many airports in the UK.

This accessibility is particularly valuable for anyone considering using the property as a holiday home or potential short-term rental.

PORT OF CORFU

The main Port of Corfu is located in Corfu Town and is generally around 40–50 minutes by car from this part of Northern Corfu.

The port provides ferry connections to a wide variety of destinations.

Regular routes connect Corfu with Igoumenitsa on mainland Greece, while other services operate to destinations including Paxos, the Diapontia Islands and Saranda in Albania.

Seasonal ferry routes can also connect Corfu with ports in Italy.

This opens up the possibility of exploring considerably more than Corfu itself.

You could take the ferry to mainland Greece, spend time in Albania or travel onwards towards Italy depending on the season and ferry timetable.

KAVOS

At the opposite end of Corfu is Kavos, the island's famous southern resort.

Kavos is known for its long beach and lively nightlife and offers a completely different experience from Antiperni.

Because it is at the southern end of the island, it should be considered more of a day trip from the property than a local destination.

For anyone spending several weeks or months in Corfu, however, it is another part of the island that can easily be explored by car.

THINGS TO DO FROM ANTIPERNI

There is plenty to do without travelling far from the property:

• Spend the day at Sidari Beach
• Explore Canal d'Amour
• Visit Mermaid's Rock and Apotripiti
• Watch the sunset at Loggas Beach
• Explore Cape Drastis
• Visit Roda and Acharavi
• Discover traditional inland villages
• Take a boat trip from Sidari
• Spend a day in Paleokastritsa
• Visit Angelokastro
• Explore Corfu Town
• Take a ferry to mainland Greece
• Take a day trip to Saranda in Albania
• Explore the Diapontia Islands
• Drive through the olive-covered countryside
• Enjoy local Greek tavernas and cafés
• Discover a different beach every day

​

There is a particularly attractive balance here between having a quiet home base and being close to many of Northern Corfu's main attractions.

POTENTIAL HOLIDAY RENTAL USE

The seller advises that the property has been used for short-term holiday accommodation and has an existing short-term rental / Airbnb registration or licence.

​

With its mezzanine sleeping area, private deck, countryside outlook and location just a short drive from Sidari and the beaches of Northern Corfu, the cottage could potentially appeal to couples and solo travellers looking for something more individual than a conventional resort hotel or apartment.

​

Based on the seller's assessment of the local holiday-rental market, they believe the cottage could potentially achieve approximately:

• April and October: around €55–€65 per night
• May: around €65–€75 per night
• June: around €75–€85 per night
• July: around €90–€105 per night
• August: around €100–€115 per night
• September: around €75–€90 per night

​

The strongest rental period would typically be expected during July and August, with lower nightly rates at the beginning and end of the main holiday season.

​

This could give an owner the flexibility to enjoy the property personally for part of the year while potentially generating rental income during the periods when they are not using it.

PERSONAL HOLIDAY HOME

Keep your own place in Corfu and visit whenever you wish.

HOLIDAY RENTAL

Potentially offer the cottage for short-term holiday accommodation.

COMBINATION OF BOTH

Use the property yourself for selected weeks or months while making it available to paying guests at other times.

The nightly rental figures above have been provided as estimates by the seller and should not be interpreted as guaranteed rental rates or returns.

Actual rental income would depend on factors including occupancy, time of year, length of stay, booking-platform fees, cleaning and management costs, pricing strategy, reviews, competition, local taxes and general tourism demand.

Any existing tourism registration or licence, and the purchaser's ability to continue operating the property as short-term accommodation after purchase, should be independently confirmed by the buyer's Greek lawyer before completion.

No level of rental income, occupancy or investment return is guaranteed.
