How you can earn £450 a month just by living on a beautiful Greek island

If you've ever felt like packing it all in and moving somewhere hot with stunning views, this could be your chance.

That's because officials from a small island called Antikythera, between Crete and Kythira, have started a re-population project.

The current population of the Greek island sits at 24, rising to 40 in the summer, reports ChronicleLive .

The new scheme, set up by the Metropolitan Bishop of Kythera and Monemvasia and the local council, provides the chance for families with more than three children to earn £450 a month to re-settle.

Speaking to the Greek website iefimerida , Andreas Harhalakis, president of the council, said it is actively looking for people who are willing to work as fishermen, stock-farmers, builders or bakers.

He said that when he was going to school, four decades ago, about 300 people lived on the island but the population had since dwindled.

He added: "We are looking for many families to 'revive' our island.

"The specialties of the people we seek are bakers, builders and fishermen. These people could secure a decent payday in Antikythera."

Antikythera has just one small provisions shop, with basic food and vegetables. However, it does have electricity and Internet connection.

To find out more or to apply, visit the  Antikythira website  or call the local council on +30 2736033004.
