Image
When someone thinks about Greece the first thing that comes in his or her mind is the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus, the Greek mythology, or the Greek cuisine. But the real beauty of Greece lies in it’s islands. There are more than 2000 Greek islands which are visited by more than 30 million tourists every year. Mykonos and Santorini are stacked with tourists every year but if you want to relax and tan in the Greek sun, you are better off with islands like Zakynthos, Corfu, Rhodes or Aegina. 1. ZAKYNTHOS Zakynthos is the third largest Greek island in the Ionian sea and is a popular tourist spot in the summers.

Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries to live in the entire world. With the strict immigration laws, finding a job and living in Switzerland is not that easy. But to everyone’s surprise, a Swiss town is offering young people €60,000 to live there. This has come up due to the rapid population plunge in the Swiss town of Albinen. Last month, the only school in the locality closed down because only seven children live there. After this, the fed up locals filed a petition to the mayor of the town to attract new families so that they can repopulate this Swiss town. The town’s population has declined so much in the past decade that now only 240 residents live there. The numbers are decreasing day by day due to the migration of the people to the big cities in recent years. The town is offering anyone who wishes to move here 25,000 CHF(€21,500), with an additional 10,000 CHF(€8,500) per child. So, a family of four can get a sum of €60,000 if they meet the criter...
