The island is going under the hammer later this year, with a starting price of €247,000 ($400,000). That's less than half the cost of the average home in Australia, which rose to $940,048 in April.

A stunning private island in the Ionian Sea, previously appraised at an astronomical £6.9 million, is set to be auctioned in November with a starting bid of just £213,000.
