Living in Folegandros
Greece · mediterranean
Folegandros is a tiny hamlet of roughly 800 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Greece. The climate is mediterranean. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,450. Healthcare is strong, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for swimming, hiking, quiet days.
È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
