An article posted on ‘Business Insider’ site claims 6,000 Greek island are up for sale. The piece does not make it clear whether the islands are under state ownership. ‘What we know is that tens of Greek islands are for sale and that the country (Greece) is suffering from a series of austerity measures and is waiting for economic support from its international creditors-so every cent counts’, says the piece. Online real-estate site ‘Privateislandsonline.com’ has listed some of the islands included in the Business Insider article providing price tags as low as 3 million Euros. ‘The cost is lower than a house in an expensive area in London’, reads the piece in Business Insider.
