Living in Kastos
Greece · mediterranean
Kastos is a tiny hamlet of roughly 80 people on an island in Greece. The climate is mediterranean. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,400. Healthcare is strong, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for swimming, sailing, quiet days.
È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, 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.
