Business Insider observes that more and more Americans are taking advantage of remote work and deciding to move to cities abroad.

As he characteristically writes, “remote workers become “digital nomads”, while living in heavenly places from Spain to Colombia”.

So Insider compiled a list of 12 cities where you can live relatively cheaply, using data from comparison website Numbeo, which provides a summary of the cost of living in major cities around the world.

Numbeo averages user-submitted expenses, including estimated monthly expenses for an individual or a family of four, as well as the monthly rent and purchase price of a downtown home. It also identifies typical prices for a coffee, a meal for two and a gym membership. Insider has selected cities from various countries and continents, trying to select those that are relatively affordable, especially compared to the US.

In 8th place of the top dozen is also a Greek city. The reason for Larissa!

“Larissa is the main city of the region of Thessaly in Greece, which is located between Mount Oeta and Mount Olympus. Located on the Pinios river, the city is surrounded by rich valleys and features a mountainous landscape. Larissa’s biggest attractions include its amphitheater dating back to the Roman era and the Timeless Museum, which houses its ancient and medieval history,” Insider notes.
