Living in Vulcano
Italy · mediterranean
Vulcano is a tiny hamlet of roughly 900 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Italy. The climate is mediterranean. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,650. Healthcare is strong, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for yoga and wellness, swimming, hiking.
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. I prezzi degli alloggi sono rimasti fermi negli ultimi cinque anni, cosa ormai rara.
