From this Guardian UK article discussing Greece’s efforts to lease or sell island property to help fill its national coffers, I clicked through to this website: Private Islands Online. Even with a weak economy, why not pick up a 12.5 acre island in the Florida Keys for $17 million? Or how about a 3 acre island in the St. Joseph River in Michigan, just an hour or so from Chicago?

And for those who are a little worried about their budgets, don’t worry: there are some beautiful islands for rent.
