    Those aren't places I've been to. I've heard great things about Sicily. Have a great trip!
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    You can buy a house for €1 in Sicily.

    The population is dwindling and tax is high if you own two houses. Those inheriting a house want to get rid of it and there are few buyers. The local government supports this development because they don’t want to see the landscape dotted with abandoned houses. A young taxi driver in Kraków told me that he had bought one. He was driving taxis until he’d saved up enough for renovation work and then he was off. Periodically, he would come back and drive taxis to fund his living costs for another year.
