Moving to Kefalonia

[Toto]

Hi all,

This is my very first post here.

I'm moving to Kefalonia permanently in June and will be visiting the forum regularly to post questions and, hopefullly, answers if I can help others.

The themes I'm currently interested in are:

- House building
- Solar power
- Moving car/belongings
- Broadband Internet
- General finance

Many thanks
Toto

Hi Barbara,

Many thanks for replying to my thread! Could you pass me the details of the mover as I've just started researching this?

We're in the process of building a house in Kefalonia - almost half way there
The next big decision is whether we go for solar power or conventional electricity. It will all depend on the cost of extending the grid to reach our house - awaiting eagerly DEH's estimate. If this turns out to be too high we may go for solar power and a diesel generator as a backup.

Regarding internet access, narrowband speeds are pretty low in our village so I've been looking into the satellite broadband option. Will keep you posted!
