Do you want to live on a Greek island? Now they pay you to move there

A small Greek island Antikythera, which is struggling with extremely sparse population, looking for new residents. Despite its natural beauty, crystal clear sea and attractive seaside towns, its population is only 20 people.

The local diocese of the Greek Orthodox Church is already supporting several families who will move to the island in the near future with sponsorship funds, while it is also looking for other candidates. They have priority Greek citizens, and the chosen ones will get land, the house and monthly stipend in value 500 €, which will flow to the bank account for three years.

It is an island difficult to access, so it is not particularly attractive for tourists. It can be reached by ferry that docks in the city Potamos, but difficult weather conditions often make navigation impossible. They mainly visit Antikythera geologists and climate scientists.
