This is called a (very) nice welcome gift. The small island of Anticythere, located in the south-east of the Peloponnese (Greece), has decided to offer four carefully selected families a home and a rent of 500 euros per month for three years.
The objective is to combat the demographic decline to which it has been subjected for several years.
The island has only about twenty inhabitants, most of them elderly.
The only small problem: to be able to benefit from this offer, families wishing to participate must have at least three children.
The municipality also hopes to attract bakers, masons, farmers, stockbreeders and fishermen to its nets – from which it is sorely lacking.
