A Cruising base?

A Greek island - yours for the price of a London flat.


Fed up with Britain's icy blasts and soaring house prices? Then why not bask in the sun and paddle the azure seas from the shores of your own Greek island. You may have to share living space with goats, but with more than 20 Greek islands for sale, Brits can live out their Mamma Mia! fantasies for the price of a central London flat.

Little Lesbos, an uninhabited 16-acre haven in the Aegean Sea, 200 metres from the island of Lesbos and described as "one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean" by real estate company Vladi Private Islands, is available for €800,000 (around £630,000).

Greek islands traditionally pass down through the generations, and this is the first time that Little Lesbos, which boasts clear water bays, sandy beaches and abundance of vegetation, has been for sale.
