Is the cost of living in Santorini high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Santorini, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Santorini, is relatively high compared to other parts of Greece due to its popularity as a tourist destination. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite expensive, while outside the city center, it is slightly cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is moderate. Groceries in Santorini can be pricey, especially for imported goods. Local products and fresh produce, however, are more affordable. Eating out in Santorini can range from moderately priced at local tavernas to very expensive at high-end restaurants, especially those with caldera views. Public transportation in Santorini is reasonably priced, but many residents choose to rent or own a car, which can add to living expenses. Gasoline prices are quite high. Health care in Santorini is less expensive than in many other European countries, but still constitutes a significant monthly expense. Overall, while the cost of living in Santorini is higher than in many other parts of Greece, it is still lower than in many major cities in Western Europe or North America. However, the high cost of living is often offset by the high quality of life and the island's natural beauty," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Santorini, Greece.
