The cost of living in Portugal is increasingly higher, after successive increases in food prices, as well as fossil fuels and houses. Although the minimum wage has increased at the beginning of 2025, for many, this growth was not enough to support expenses and some Portuguese are starting to look for better living conditions outside the country.
If you want to drastically reduce your daily expenses, be aware that there is a country that, besides not being away from Portugal, is on the seaside and there is possible to live with only 16 euros a day. It is a country that focuses on the warm waters of the Mediterranean and where, like the Algarve, you can count on over 300 days of sun per year, and temperatures in winter are also mild.
There are no direct flights from Portugal to Tunisia
We talk about Tunisia, a country that is located in the north of Africa and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea. Although the country is relatively close to Portugal, the truth is that there are no direct flights to this country from the Portuguese airports. If you want to travel to the capital, Tunis, from one of the three Portuguese airports, you will always have to make a scale in Paris or Rome.
