Overview
- Rightmove reports Corfu was its most-searched overseas destination in January, with queries up 173% year on year and ahead of Dubai, the Costa del Sol and the Algarve.
- The surge is linked to Amanda Holden and Alan Carr’s BBC series Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job, which showcases a Corfu renovation.
- A two-bedroom house in Kokkini featured on the show is now listed at €675,000 via Corfu Home Finders, according to the listing reported by UK media.
- Reports state sale proceeds will be split between Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need, while Rightmove’s Colleen Babcock notes TV exposure regularly drives buyer interest.
- Rightmove says the pattern mirrors last year’s spike for Moclin in Granada after the presenters’ Spanish series, and the Spanish villa is now bookable with reported nightly rates of about €225 in high season and €195 in winter.
