Serifos nomad scores

A furnished month is cheaper in the existing budget than Athens, Milos or Folegandros, but still well above Hanoi. The housing estimate needs a live quote. 17 2

The existing furnished-month budget is below Athens and nearby island comparisons. Treat it as a planning estimate until a monthly booking is confirmed. 2
