The report, which has taken Greek press by storm, lists the Top Seven “best buys” starting with the largest island, Dulichium, in the Ionian selling for 40 million euros; a “Northern Aegean Island”, 30 minutes from Athens by speedboat, is up for 35 million euros; St Thomas (Agios Thomas), just 20 minutes away by water taxi from Corinth and 45 minutes away from Athens, is going for 15 million euros; Kardiotissa Island in the Aegean is available at 6.5 million euros; Stroggilo Island in the Dodecanese near Marathos is going under the hammer for 4.5 million euros; Kythnos Island (land) parcel in the Cyclades and just an hour from Athens by boat with some 25 small houses is going to the best buyer for a mere 3.5 million euros – dropping from the initial 5 million euro price last June; and the Lihnari Peninsula, 10 minutes west of Corinth, whose price was recently slashed in half is selling for 3 million euros.
