Demand for Corfu in the UK is skyrocketing

Searches for Corfu on Rightmove, the UK’s top property website, increased by 173% in January compared to the previous year, following the BBC’s “Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job” TV show.

Searches for the Greek island have increased significantly after the show, in which close friends Amanda Holden and Alan Carr renovate a property.

Online searches for Corfu increased by 173% in January, surpassing traditional destinations such as Dubai, Costa del Sol, and Algarve.

Rightmove reported that it had seen a similar trend in the past for searches in Spain, which it attributed to the popularity of “Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job”.

Now, vacationers can book the Spanish villa renovated by Carr and Holden, with prices ranging from €225 (£196) per night during the peak tourist season from May to October, to €195 (£170) per night during the winter months.

Colleen Babcock, a real estate expert at Rightmove, said: “We repeatedly see odd buyers flocking to see properties for sale in locations they’ve seen on TV or in movies.”

Amanda Holden and Alan Carr began an exciting adventure on the beautiful island of Corfu on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 10:30 PM (local time), when the first episode of the show was broadcast, promising the audience a mix of humor, friendship, and unexpected challenges.

A few words about the case

When Amanda and Alan arrive in Corfu, they are greeted by a stunning landscape and the charm of Greek culture. However, their dream escape quickly turns into a difficult mission. The duo soon discovers that a large and demanding renovation awaits them. Viewers can expect a lot of laughs as they face the setbacks of their renovation project. The chemistry between the two main characters, however, shines as they face challenges with courage, highlighting their friendship and teamwork.


The island’s beauty contrasts with the hard work that awaits them, creating a fascinating spectacle. House renovation and travel enthusiasts won’t want to miss this unique combination.

“Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job” promises many surprises and entertainment for the British television audience.
