Is the cost of living in Kefalonia high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Kefalonia, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Kefalonia is generally considered to be lower than in many other European countries. Rent, in particular, is quite affordable, especially when compared to larger cities. The cost of groceries is also relatively low, with local markets offering fresh produce at reasonable prices. Eating out at restaurants can be inexpensive as well, particularly if you choose traditional Greek tavernas over more tourist-oriented establishments. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also reasonably priced. However, the cost of gasoline can be quite high, which may affect those who plan to drive regularly. Overall, while the cost of living can vary depending on lifestyle and specific location within Kefalonia, it is generally seen as an affordable place to live," said one expat in Kefalonia.
