About these cities

About Preveza

Preveza is a small-town coastal play for people who want sea air and low rent without big-city noise: $393/mo for a one-bedroom in the center and a $563/mo budget tier make it genuinely cheap, and 4 km to PVK means you are on a plane before your coffee cools. The catch is the local economy, where an average net salary of $1,135/mo barely clears a mid-range budget of $806/mo, so remote income is close to mandatory. With very few expats, English mostly confined to tourist areas, and a retiree score of 60, it suits self-sufficient remote workers far more than anyone chasing an instant social scene.

About Greece

Progressive tax brackets climbing to 44% will hit high earners hard, making Greece a poor fit for anyone still drawing a large US salary. Retirees living on the required USD 3,997/mo FIP visa income look past this easily, since $893.50/mo covers living costs before rent. A 1BR near the center runs around $560.16/mo, and high English proficiency smooths daily life despite the medium 53.6 safety score.
