Houses in Greece for free... and get 500 eur per month with this initiative 🇬🇷

A remote island in Greece, Antikythera, is attracting new residents with an initiative that offers free houses and 500 euros per month for those who decide to live there. Picturesque landscapes, clean water and a peaceful life in nature promote relaxation and well-being, providing an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Such initiatives aim to protect the historical heritage and combat depopulation. Over the past decade, similar programs have appeared in many countries, encouraging the renovation of old houses.

On the Greek island of Antikythera, the authorities decided to propose permanent settlement in order to revitalise the local community and economy. Although such projects can be an exciting adventure, they involve a big change of life and require commitment (renovating houses is no small feat), despite the low initial costs (a plot of land, a house and an additional 500 euros per month for three years).

The offer may be tempting, especially for those who are ready to take on the effort of renovating and adapting the property. However, it is worth remembering about possible "traps", such as:

• Investment in renovation (despite help, costs are usually much higher)

• Adjusting to life in a small, often isolated community

• Understanding and respecting local customs and regulations

Who is the island looking for?

The program is aimed at families, especially those with children, who want to settle on the island permanently. Specialists in such professions as:

• Craftsmen

• Farmers

• Bakers

• Fishermen

• Construction workers

Antikythira offers not only financial support and free accommodation, but also the opportunity to live in a peaceful, natural environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is certainly a great place for people who want to start a new phase of life, enjoying the beauty of the Greek island.
