    I googled “how much does a Greek island home cost?” instead, it told me they are as cheap as 3 million euros, and I don’t think that includes the house or other facilities.

    I’m not sure I get your point.

      I Google better and find a detached house for 250k euro on a Greek island. It’s the 4th results on a Greek real estate website for the region I didn’t have to look far

        Fair enough. I’ll admit I didn’t try very hard in trying to figure out what point they were trying to make and only went with the first result. Judging by their refusal to elaborate, I think I made the right call by not trying harder.
