If you buy a place in the Southern part of Italy you most likely can get a place next to the shore cheap. Is it safe down there? Not quite... Coastline property the very most places are over "developed" and you get yourself a condo in the midst of everybody else doing the same thing for a hefty price. Having said that, however, I recently went sailing on Lago di Bracciano just north of Rome. For some reason I couldn't figure out why even shoreline property looked run-down and cheap and also is exactly that as I learned later from the locals. The Romans don't like going there and in the city a lot of African immigrants were all over the place. Not very popular down there close to Africa as they say, this most likely explains the "depressed" real estate market in the area. Housing in Rome, Milan, Firenze and Venice costs the same as in any international large city. Maybe not quite up to NYC and Tokyo but pretty close. No better deals in Italy here. If you are looking for prime waterfront estate in Europe, Croatia just south of Dubrovnik is still the place to go. I sure like taking my morning swim as well but I don't fancy too much living on a stamp size place right there between all the other swimmers :) Taro
