About

The name

The Heptanese — Επτάνησα, "the seven islands" — is the old collective name for Corfu, Paxos, Lefkada, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Kythira: the islands off Greece's western coast and the southern tip of the Peloponnese that share a Venetian past, a wetter and greener landscape than the Aegean, and a habit of attracting people who stay. We took the name because we work across all of them, and because we think the choice of island comes before the choice of house.

How we work

We are a licensed Greek estate agency. That means a registered agent with a GEMI number, a written brokerage agreement before any viewing, and the details a buyer needs on every listing — the energy class, whether VAT applies, whether a plot has a building permit.

When a buyer asks a question we cannot answer, we say so and find the person who can — for example an independent lawyer, engineer or tax adviser, whom we will always tell you to appoint.

Who we work with

Buyers from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Greece and further afield; sellers who want their property presented properly in the languages their buyers read; partner estate agencies on the islands whose listings we present to buyers abroad; and developers on the islands whose projects we market through automated feeds that refresh availability and prices several times a day.
