Is the cost of living in Corfu high?

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

"The cost of living in Corfu is generally considered to be lower than in many other European countries. Rent, in particular, is quite affordable, especially when compared to major cities in Europe. 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, keep in mind that these costs can vary depending on the size and location of your home. Public transportation is quite affordable, but if you choose to own a car, you'll need to consider the cost of petrol, which can be higher than in some other countries. Healthcare in Greece is generally good and less expensive than in many other European countries. However, it's recommended to have health insurance to cover any potential medical costs. Overall, while the cost of living in Corfu is lower than in many other places, it's important to remember that salaries and wages in Greece are also generally lower. Therefore, your lifestyle and spending habits will significantly impact how far your money goes," explained one expat.
