At his island home

... is where he lost me. He can call back when he has to choose between electricity and rent.

Google “how many islands in Greece” and bathe in light of knowledge .

I googled "how much does a Greek island home cost?" instead, it told me they are as cheap as 3 million euros, and I don't think that includes the house or other facilities.

I'm not sure I get your point.

I Google better and find a detached house for 250k euro on a Greek island. It's the 4th results on a Greek real estate website for the region I didn't have to look far

Fair enough. I'll admit I didn't try very hard in trying to figure out what point they were trying to make and only went with the first result. Judging by their refusal to elaborate, I think I made the right call by not trying harder.
