Corfu —
where NOMAS began,
and where we know most.
Five years of operating in one of Greece’s most competitive rental markets has given NOMAS a depth of local knowledge that cannot be replicated by a company that arrived last season. This page is about what that knowledge looks like in practice.
One of Greece’s most mature
short-term rental markets.
Corfu is one of the most visited islands in Greece — and one of the most competitive short-term rental markets outside Athens and Crete. With over 10,000 active listings, the island draws millions of visitors each year from across Europe, each looking for something different: the Venetian architecture of Corfu Old Town, the dramatic cliffs of Paleokastritsa, the long beaches of the north coast, the quieter coves of the south.
In a market of this scale and maturity, standing out is not a matter of listing your property and waiting. It is a matter of pricing intelligence, listing quality, guest communication, and operational consistency — applied together, every day, by a team that understands this specific market. A property that is not professionally managed in Corfu today is not competing. It is simply available.
NOMAS has operated in Corfu since 2021. In that time the portfolio has grown consistently year on year — not through aggressive acquisition, but through owners who found what they were looking for and stayed. Growth in this industry is a trust signal. Owners do not renew with a management company that fails them.
We manage properties across the full geography of the island — from the UNESCO-listed lanes of Corfu Old Town to the hillside villas above the west coast, the seafront houses of the east, and the resort areas of the north. The island has a single standard across all of them. So does NOMAS.
Four property types.
One standard.
The UNESCO-listed historic centre of Corfu Town is one of the most architecturally rich destinations in the Mediterranean. Properties here — Venetian-era palazzos, neoclassical townhouses, historic lofts in narrow lanes — attract guests who want cultural immersion as much as a comfortable stay. Managing them requires understanding both the character of the building and the expectations of the guest who chooses it. NOMAS has managed properties in the Old Town since our first season.
The hillside villas above Paleokastritsa, Glyfada, and the north coast represent the premium segment of the Corfu market. Properties with private pools, panoramic sea views, and the space that luxury travellers expect. This segment rewards professional management most directly — the gap between a well-managed premium villa and a poorly managed one is measured in thousands of euros per season. NOMAS manages the full premium cycle: positioning, photography, pricing, guest experience, and the operational infrastructure that a high-value property requires.
Corfu’s coastline offers everything from the calm, shallow waters of the east coast to the dramatic western beaches. Seafront and beachfront properties are among the most sought-after in the portfolio — and among the most operationally demanding, with guests whose proximity to the sea creates specific expectations about outdoor spaces, equipment, and service. Location alone does not fill a beachfront property; the management quality determines whether the location translates into bookings and repeat guests.
The authentic Corfu that visitors increasingly seek is not on the main tourist strip — it is in the island’s interior villages, the olive groves, the traditional stone houses with courtyards and terraces. This segment is growing as a new generation of travellers actively looks for the kind of genuine local experience that a well-presented village property delivers. NOMAS understands how to position these properties for the guests who will appreciate them most — and how to build the listing narrative that finds them.
Seven months of season.
Managed as one.
The Corfu rental season runs from April through October — seven months that require a completely different management approach in each phase. April and May are shoulder months where pricing and listing quality determine occupancy. June through September are peak months where operational consistency and guest communication determine reviews. October is the close of season — where the decisions made throughout the year show up in the final numbers.
Most management companies manage the peak well. The best ones manage the shoulder months too — filling the calendar in April and May when properties that are not actively managed sit empty.
A genuinely international
guest profile.
Properties managed by NOMAS in Corfu attract guests from across Europe and beyond — from the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Poland, through to the United States, Australia, and guests from over 25 countries in total. That breadth is not an accident. It is the result of listing quality, multi-channel distribution, and the kind of consistent guest communication that builds a review profile that performs in international search.
The domestic Greek market is a significant and often underestimated segment — Greek families and couples who choose island accommodation rather than hotels represent consistent, repeat bookings outside the peak European travel months. Managing for this segment requires understanding their specific expectations, which differ meaningfully from the international guest profile.
Booking.com is the dominant channel in the Corfu market — more so than in many other Greek island destinations. Managing a Corfu property effectively means managing Booking.com effectively, which requires a different set of skills and strategies than Airbnb alone. NOMAS operates actively across both.

What five years in Corfu
actually builds.
NOMAS operates its own cleaning team and laundry facility in Corfu. This is not a convenience — it is a quality guarantee. We control the standard because we control the operation. No dependency on third-party cleaners who cancel at peak season. No compromise on linen quality because an external service is overloaded.
Five years of operation means five years of building relationships with the tradespeople, technicians, and service providers who keep properties running on an island where reliability is not guaranteed. When something goes wrong at your property in Corfu, NOMAS knows who to call and they answer.
Pricing a Corfu property correctly requires understanding the micro-dynamics of each area of the island, each week of the season, and each shift in source market demand. That calibration takes years to develop. A company that entered Corfu last year is still learning what NOMAS learned in 2021 and 2022.
