Have you ever felt tired of your everyday life and wish to leave everything behind and go to Kenya forever? Sometimes it can be easier to come in Greece. At least for the European citizens. For the others as well.
Not many people want to live in islands the whole year. What most people do is stay in the islands during summer and they move back when winter approaches.
But you can still have in the winter.
What to do in an island?
-You can buy a house. It’s not that expensive. If you want your new house to be in front of the sea, close to the square or in the neibourhoud of the bars, then just forget it. But if you are satisfied with a house in a village, with a lot of tranquility, not far away from the island’s biggest town, maybe close to the sea, then this is doable. You have to conduct some local research though. You can buy old houses with 10.000 euro. To renew them you will need about 4.000 euros. Of course the prices vary. If you want a new, luxurious appartment or house, with swimming pool etc, then the price would be from
300.000 to a million.
-You can find a job. During the summer finding a job could be difficult cause there are a lot of foreigners who come in Greece to work and have vacations at the same time. But what about winter?
-You can buy a fishing-boat and go fishing. Really much recommended for hippies!
-You can also buy a farm and cultivate it!
-You can start your own tourism enterprise
-You can make your own youth hostel. Well this one is quite good. I have never found a hostel in the islands. I think that somebody who starts one, will get rich!
It is meaningless to tell you about summer. Most of you can imagine what is going on, for the others I will write more later. But in autumn, winter and spring the islands are a nice place to be. You wont find and crazy parties or beaches to swim but if you seek tranquility so to concentrate and write a book, or just want to see terrific winter sighseeing, tumbling see, waves of wrath and windstorms like nowhere else.
The islanders are so welcome to the foreigners. If you are an American for example and relocate to an island, the next day the whole island will be talking about you.
They will offer you help, they will show you the place around and for sure they will employ you in the touristic sector.
