3 months in a Greek Island

[R_and_B]

We want to rent a place on a greek island for 3 to 6 months from the end of April 2010 because we love Greece after having taken our vacations their for many years.
Has anyone any advice or thoughts on how we might best arrange this?

Hi

Its just for the 2 of us, so I bed is fine.
Near the coast is a must, not neccesaily on the beach.
Looking at Paros for a week in June this yearm but any similar island would do, we love greece, so it doesn't matter. We would like a greek community in the town we were in, as we like the evening "stroll"

Thanks for your input

this the best site i found. it is in greek but most of the links are in english. Dont worrie. call as many as you can. Tell them that you want to stay 3 months they going to give you diferent price or in some cases they might recomend you someone else to call for beter price. if you want use access code to call in greece e.g. from UK 0844 861 98 98 1p/m or something like this.

I guess it depends on what island you want to live on. Find the island you want to live on, contact the Majors office of the main town of that island, and ask for rental information. Most have a list of agents, who rent out homes. You may get lucky. JUst post it incare of the majors office. You never know.

It's cheaper to rent for a year than for months! Best found by word of mouth

Hi, I rent villas on Paros for short term only. But I can give you some general ideas.
Here owners look at what they they think they can get for July and August and then charge that same amount for the whole year, plus a minor amount for wear and tear.
So your best bet for weather and prices is Sept through November. Second would be April-June.
Also there is no central or organised system. The best, if not only way to find good value is to go to the island and ask around.

Good luck,
