    Remember, Greece is a cradle if all civilization. They introduced Democracy to world, surgery and sirgicsl tools and many, many other things we don't even think about today. Why it should be any different now??? Because Greece went through economic crisis? They shaped up? People stayed the same as before. I LOVE Greece from the bottom of my heart.

    Congrats, or Bravo as they like to say in Greece, on your move!
    We were in Greece 2 months last spring and loved it! As a semi retired couple in our early 60’s We will return this fall for another 2-3 months and decide if we want to spend enough money in real estate to get a golden visa OR simply spend 3 months each year there soaking up the sunshine. Like you, sunshine is very important for my emotional/physical health. Have you been to the mountains of Crete yet? There’s a wonderful family farm/restaurant that is simply amazing to have dinner at. Wild Herbs of Crete is another fun little gem tucked into the mountains that is a must visit in my opinion! Perhaps we will meet in the fall❣️

    Glad you like it living here in Greece. A piece of advice. If you haven't already done so, which you should have done by now, get in touch with a good tax accountant, preferably one who is experienced in dealing with ex-pats, to help you sort out your tax declarations and social security situation otherwise you might be in for nasty surprises in the medium term. Also, if you're still driving your foreign license plate car, you should look into sorting this out at some point, since technically you are not allowed to use a foreign registered car for more than six months if you are a permanent resident.

    Another video, like hundreds online, directed to those who wish to be self-employed, working from home and online while using the English language. That's more like existing in a foreign country and enjoying a nice lifestyle than actually living there. Not creating a CV, applying for jobs, going to job interviews and interacting with colleagues and managers....all this in the local language.
