Kefalonia, Greece
Follows Greece Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Reality check: With just 36,064 residents, Kefalonia is a small island that offers little in the way of modern amenities. Its economy relies heavily on tourism, but the frequent earthquakes and forest fires pose real challenges. While the island's natural beauty is undeniable, the bureaucratic headaches and potential safety concerns make it best suited for those seeking a remote, rustic getaway rather than a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
