Why you might not pick Ιθάκη, Κεφαλληνία

Labour market (EU bottom 15%); Talent & skills (EU bottom 15%); Connectivity (EU bottom 15%); Freight intensity (EU bottom 15%); Industrial base (EU bottom 15%); Governance (EU bottom 15%); Resilience (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Freight intensity (EU pctl 0) — Svalbard may suit a mandate that weights that higher.
