    Hello, i am french and i just discovered your channel. I subscribed and i will be following your work on this house. I think there is a lot of potential.I love the place and Mani is so beautiful. During the last 12 years , we have visited Greece one or twice a year and thinking moving there part of the year when we will be retired. It is a dream so for now i will be watching your greek dream. I wish you success and have fun!

      Hi Sylvie! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We are certainly very much in love with the Mani but would love to explore more of the whole of Greece. That is not so easy with 2 dogs though... the potential of the house is huge, like you say, and we are very excited to have started the work. And we can't wait to share the whole journey with you!

      @@BeeLovedGreece You're welcome! I brought my teenage daughter to Greece again a few weeks ago (from Cleveland, Ohio) in order to show her where her grandparents are from (to trace her roots), and we visited the island of Paros, Nafplio, and drove south through Tripoli and Sparta, then south to Elefonisos and Monemvasia. This was Part 2 of our trip to Greece 2 years ago. Our family is from 2 small gorgeous and scenic mountain villages above Nafpaktos, and my grandmother's house built in 1912 is still standing, and in great condition! The house is huge too, with the original wooden floors (hand cut), wine cellar, and ceramic roof replaced around WW2! I am seriously thinking about moving there soon (i'm 63), but the only thing holding me back is my heart disease that would require for me to be around good hospitals, 'just in case'!

I watch every single video all the way through. It’s the ‘solo over 50 living abroad niche’ without the solo bit! Your audience watch ‘Indigo Escape’ and all the couples in Portugal like ‘Frankie Off Grid’ and the pair from Malta who live in Portugal who were on Ben Fogle’s ‘New Lives In The Wild’. So delighted to see you turned your old videos back on - they are beautiful!

I have thought a lot over the past few weeks, and you are right, 50 is the new 30 and 70 is the new 60 and there is still so much that we have to offer. We have a certain depth and life experience that younger people don't have and I certainly intend to incorporate this into my vlogs. I think people are looking for this kind of steadfastness and hope that if others can do it, they can too! Thank you so much for your support. xx

    Peloponnisos (or the Island of the Pelops) is the best option! Why?
    It is large and you will never feel that you are in a tourist trap Island!
    Has mauntains, lakes, rivers, the sea, beaches, good roads, Large cities,
    Has many archeaological sites, it is like an open-air museum.
    Has access to the rrest of Greece and the rest of Europe by car and no need for ferrys or airplanes
    Has good hospitals and medical care in Patras and Kalamata
    Does not close down in Winter like most islands in the Aegean Sea

    • @BeeLovedGreece
      @BeeLovedGreece  2 місяці тому +11

      @cruelladevil967 Yes, I understand that. I have already had several long discussions about this with other people on my channel. I can tell you that the same is said of the "foreigners", including Greeks, that come to the UK, the US, Germany, or the Netherlands, taking "precious" jobs there. I don't buy into this. Migration is positive.
      People have migrated forever since the beginning of time. People will always look for better fortunes. As long as they contribute positively to the local society, it has merit. We employ local people to help us rebuild the house, and we shop locally, spending our money with local growers, builders merchants and supermarkets. If the Mani and Greece in general weren't booming because of a buoyant housing market, Greece's unemployment figures would be so much higher and poverty an even bigger problem. And so you still couldn't buy a house.
      Here in the Mani, builders are doing well for themselves. They have thriving business. They have to work hard, granted, but they are able to buy houses for themselves. That is only possible because there are so many foreigners in this area who invest into the area.
      Everything has its positive and negative.

Migration is good only if you want to go to another country not if your own country forces you to live. Learn a bit about the employment situation in Greece and then we can talk. People around my age with 2 and 3 degrees are forced to go to another country because here they refuse to pay the legal salaries. When the basic salaries here is 800 euros you can't live not even to survive.

But we are willing to invest our time and skills to renovate the place between the two of us. It is the only way we can do it. A house in the UK is astronomical now, same in the Netherlands and Germany. We totally understand your frustration about not being able to afford a house in your own country anymore.

      The current Greek government and the European Union are responsible for selling the country piece by piece and of course Northern Europeans are flocking in to buy a piece of the Greek paradise at STILL cheap prices in relation to their European incomes and assets.

On paper, they are Greek, but they only love and believe in money. It’s a bit difficult for me to analyze this further because, as is well known, Greece has centuries of history. And within this history, mistakes have been made. If you want, search the internet (but from Greek sources, and then have it translated into your language) for the Peloponnesian War, the bad Byzantine emperors, and the Greek Civil War after the end of World War II.

The Greeks rip off the government, the government rips off the people and Greece even lied to join the EU. In order to get anything done in Greece you have to keep paying cash to people in order to get anything done. There were fires in Greece a few years ago. And many houses were lost in the fires as there are now. . Now, here is the rule in Greece. If you have poured the slab/ concrete foundation for your build, then you can proceed with no obstacles. Greece is now for sale and foreigners are buying. Which will push and has pushed Greeks out of the buying market. I will give you a word of advise, do with it what you will. At all costs, stop the Chinese investment. They will add no value to Greece. They will build their own hotels. Bring in their own people to run them. Bring in their own tourist guides and buses and even only eat in their own restaurants and leave no money in Greece, and the government of Greece will allow this. feel free to think of me as just an old buffoon, and when that day comes true, remember me.

Μας επιβάλλουν δύο και τρεις δουλειές για να επιβιώσουμε, αλλά προ πάντων να μην έχουμε χρόνο να σκεφτουμε για αυτό που ζουμε. Μας απoχαυνωνουν με την παραπληροφόρηση και την ΤV.
