Cost of Living in Rhodes
Greece · Europe
Rhodes is the largest of Greece's Dodecanese islands, home to a UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town and over 300 days of sunshine per year. Tourism drives the island economy, leading to slightly higher seasonal prices, but the stunning beaches and relaxed island lifestyle make it a popular choice for expats.
