Hi welcome to the forum. me and my family used to live in zante, i agree cost of living here is is far too expensive. We are moving back at end of year to patra mainlandand building our own on our piece of land we have got up the mountains where our greek family friend lives with his family and owns most of this area. My son is moving back to zante cos he has got to work with yannis son in the restraunt all year round, i dont know if you would be better off buying a new property or old cos of tax reasons, but it is cheaper to build your own at your lesiure.
