Is the cost of living in Zakynthos high?

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

"The cost of living in Zakynthos is considered to be relatively affordable compared to other European destinations. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is quite reasonable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also quite low. Groceries in Zakynthos are reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and dairy at competitive prices. Eating out at an inexpensive restaurant is also quite affordable, while a three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant can be a bit more expensive. Transportation costs are also quite low in Zakynthos. A one-way ticket on local transport is cheap, and the cost of gasoline is on par with the rest of Greece. Healthcare in Zakynthos is generally affordable, especially when compared to countries like the United States. However, it's important to note that while public healthcare is available, many residents opt for private healthcare, which can be more expensive. In terms of leisure activities, a monthly gym membership is reasonably priced, and cinema tickets are also quite affordable. Overall, the cost of living in Zakynthos is quite low, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and expats," remarked one in Zakynthos.
