This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΗ Μεγίστη είναι ένας μικρός τόπος με 584 κατοίκους, όπου η καθημερινότητα και η τοπική οικονομία κινούνται γύρω από τον τουρισμό, την εστίαση και τα καταλύματα, με επιχειρήσεις πυκνότερες από τον μέσο όρο της χώρας αλλά λιγότερες από ό,τι συνηθίζεται στο Νότιο Αιγαίο. Ξεχωρίζει η ζωηρή κινητικότητα στην εκμίσθωση ακινήτων, ενώ η σεισμική επικινδυνότητα της περιοχής είναι υψηλή.
