Pretending is when you secretly long to achieve something that is seemingly beyond your reach, you did the right thing to pretend.

You are living our dream. My wife and I want to move to Greece, everyone is telling us not to do it. I think we will, eventually.
Dont listen, just do it , when life is over atleast you did what you wanted, and didnt live the life of others
What’s the worse that can happen? You move back? People are afraid of change or heard someone that went and made poor choices or whatever that’s them
When I moved o Greece back in 1991 I had no expectations. I just wanted to experience life there knowing I had the option of leaving again if things didn't turn out.In fact I knew I would probably be going back a few steps. But everything worked out. Just remember life is different there but most improved since 1991 when it comes to dealing with the public service.
Don’t listen to anyone. My family didn't want me to start a business or move abroad. If I listened to them, my life would be boring and uneventful like theirs. I wake up every morning and go swimming in the sea and play with my doggo.
i think your story is inspiring Greeks who living abroad to return back and live in their country
Looking at tickets now and starting to sell things I own
You give me the strength to move without fears ! Thank you so much ! I'm selling my house in Belgium to move to Crete, but alone with two cats .. A nightmare .. for my forever dream 🤩
do it!!!
do it 100% ! -> many europeans are living permanently in Crete.
( Crete is so south that summer lasts about 8 months per year).
All the best!
Hi great to follow your dream. I moved from UK to Crete alone with my cat 12 years ago! Love living in Paradise. Wonderful Greek neighbourhood & I see more of my UK friends here than living in the UK...they love it to. Some now have their own holiday homes to enjoy the life 🌞🏖😎 Crete is such an Amazing, Beautiful Island.
Wherever you go or live, Greece is beautiful. Greetings from Cyprus
Very inspiring video, thank you!
Thank you my friend 🇬🇷💙🙏
Dear Daniel, just to say your videos are so good! Thank you for sharing your special family moments and your journey to living your dream.
Your commitment to writing in your little black book - and your passion to live your dream is inspiring. God Bless you and your family 🙏🏼
Thank you 🇬🇷💙🙏
Beautiful family and beautiful story. One day we will make it to see Greece. Hugs, from cali🙏
Nafplio is a win win situation because you are on a peninsular, which is a semi-island a bit larger than Crete ( the megalonisos) but you have conveniences you do not get on the islands. Living on an island ( try Spetses and Ydra for a few days and you will see what I mean) are more expensive , because the produce comes from the mainland, they have water and desalination issues and the list goes on. Nafplio is not that far from Athens, the airport, main skiing resorts in Menalo, archaeological sites like Epidavros theatre, beaches etc etc. Win win
Plus new highway which helps
This was my experience when i first came to Rhodes to visit my boyfriend. We've been together for nearly 6 years now, and I've since then visited greece 3 times, every time ending in Rhodes. (where he was studying) I fell in love with the island and all the history within it. I am so happy to know that this coming year, I'll be making the move to be with my boyfriend in Greece and potentially to Rhodes! 💛
I wish you the best!
Nauplio is a fantastic place to live!
I'm here on Ano Syros, about to move into my place. Every day I walk down to Asteria Beach for a swim. It is a kind of paradise.
Beautiful God bless, wishing you and your family more beautiful days to come 🙏🥰🇬🇷💝
It is important to know it took you over a decade and seeing challenges to get you where you are now. Often people miss that part. I enjoy your videos. You provide great story of ups and downs and that is what makes it enjoyable.
We love you Daniel 💖 keep up these amazing vibes!!!!!
Thank you so much 💙
It’s true, Nafplion is a beautiful city! The architecture and culture is like that of a Greek island yet you have the mainland proximity. The perfect situation! I also want to be like the pappous and yiayias. We visit our Greek family in a small town on the east coast of mainland Greece. I love to get up early before everyone else and go for my daily walk and swim before it gets too hot. I have English fair skin so I fry in the sun if I wait and go with everyone else at 12 noon. Plus I enjoy the quiet of the early morning. The only thing is I need someone to show me how to open all the blasted locks to get out of the house and the courtyard gate! 😂
I am living vicariously through you. If it wasn’t for my American pension I would be there right now. I will retire there though. I think what is important is ensuring employment which you are fortunate to have remotely. Writing down and visualizing is important though. Thank you for the reminder!!!
I was born and raised in Canada, but I have been living in Greece for over 40 years. Simply put, Greece is paradise for me.
💙🇬🇷
simple life, simple things - most important things that we appreciate more and more when we get older. and of course inner peace and peace in general which is very difficult
As a Greek,seeing this video felt so heartwarming ♥️ Your story is very inspiring and you’re portraying Greece in a very positive way ♥️ I also do vlogs about cooking and living the simple Greek life so I’m very happy I stumbled on your video 🥹♥️♥️
I think you for your beautiful videos..! and I admire you for everything you do👌
You're not lucky.. you earn it and deserve it🎉
And now I am smiling, what a great mentality you have a greek soul and you are a win for team Greece!!! I love your channel.
Thank you so much! 💙🇬🇷🙏
I have been swimming here every day I can during the last 25 years.
The last 15 years also in the winter, even if that is not usual for yiayiades and pappoudes, who usually put their hats on and go swimming in the Greek summer, which they count to be from the 1. June till the 31. August.
The last decade there has been a bit flexibility with that.
I live on a southern coast with an open sea in front, so only a southern wind and uncomfortably big waves can stop me.
The age to be a pappous I have by now. And the hat I have also, to protect my scalp from the sun. Even if I am not bald. Or I wish to think so.
You are such an inspiration, and it is so fascinating to listen to your personal journey as that makes me think about my own background as growing up In Sweden and I was brought up by parents from Finland. In 2010, I immigrated to the United States. All these experiences have accumulated into the fact that I am conducting real research on a doctorate level about expatriates and their motivation to live and work in a foreign country. Italy and the Mediterranean culture have always been a dream for me as a future chapter in my life. Though I have started to look into Greece as a possible destination as well, this is why I ended up at your Vlog. I look forward to your next video.
Thank you 🇬🇷💙🙏
You are one of us man ..✌️
enjoy nafplio daniel best place in greece
If Greece had more people coming in like you, it’ll be Switzerland of Europe God bless you and your family.
By the way, Switzerland is in Europe..✌️

Thanks for the geography lesson
Wowwww ❤ Daniel , such an inspiring video !!! THANK YOU 🙏
Dreaming is our greatest power. Well done Daniel, well done! 👏
Thank you for showcasing Greece and in particular our Lovely Nafplio which is where I also live . I grew up in Chicago then Athens then Nafplio then again Athens, and back again finally in Nafplio ! My ancestral place which although I travel a lot around the world due to my job..I always want to be back in Nafplio.
Amazing video Daniel. Μπράβο. Ζέις το όνειρο μου.
Say hello to Theodoris Tasopoulos from Sailing Nafplio. We had such a good time on his boat
Watching from Maryland USA. I have been enjoying your videos and will be in Greece this summer. We will be stopping by Nafplio as it is close to my dad’s village!
That is great 💙🇬🇷🙏
Watching from Crete also living thr dream 😁.look forward to seeing more of mainland Greece.. Ναυπλιο is on the list...looks gorgeous. Great videos!
Love your dream to reality.
it is great that you pointed out how difficult it was moving from one place in Greece to another. I guess moving from London to Greece was not that hard.
I a so biased but Nafplio is the pearl of the south, la perla del sur for sure mate!
Dο your thing αδελφε!
Ευχαριστώ φίλε μου 💙🇬🇷🙏
Thanks ..PS Next one show little more from. The city of ..Nafplion ..
You mentioned that you came to a crossroad, well I'm at mine. Moving to Crete as soon as I can. On my own at 62. Thank you for posting.
All the best my friend with your move 🇬🇷💙🙏
You live in an island buddy.
Peloponnesus is an island.
Literally it means the island of Pelops.
Man made or natural?
Well, technically the Corinth canal cuts it off from Attica…so, a manmade island, kinda sorta.
Thank you for your honesty, Daniel, in sharing that you had to overcome obstacles to manifest this dream. Can you make a video to talk about how you found a place to live (finally) in Nafplio, please? I looked for an apartment briefly, but found that realtors do not respond or else they show you whatever crummy places they want to unload. :-( My situation changed, so I’m not actively looking now, but I’m thinking about it for next year. Thanks in advance for any advice! Keep making your inspiring videos!
I will.
❤😊
Se realizò tu sueño amigo. Que disfrutes! Yo soy de allì mismo y me fui chiquita. Intenté vivir alli de nuevo pero como te conté en otra ocasión me pusieron a trabajar en el periptero de la familia.
Καλημέρα Daniel χαίρομαι πολυ που αγάπησες τοσο την Ελλάδα...
Εγω μενω στην Κύπρο ενω είμαστε και εγω και ο άντρας μου Έλληνες .
Εκείνος γεννήθηκε και μεγάλωσε στην Ελλάδα ..εγω πάλι γεννήθηκα στην Ελλάδα αλλά μεγάλωσα στην Γερμανία και γυρίσαμε πίσω στα χρόνια του Γυμνασίου για εμένα.
Μετα πηγα για σπουδές στηνν Αθήνα..και το Ναύπλιο ήταν αγαπημένο πάντα.για γρήγορες διακοπές (3-4) ημέρες ..
Ζω στην Λεμεσό.ειναι και εδώ υπέροχα ομως μου λείπει η αδερφή μου η μαμά μου..
nice vlogs keep going :)
Dude, I'm born and raised in Athens, and you're already living the life I want to live, in the place I want to live it... Things are coming together though... we might be neighbors in a few years :)
Nafplio is waiting for you. I know plenty of Athenians who have moved to Nafplio🇬🇷💙
I am Greek/American live in the USA and plan to buy a home or apartment in Greece so I can spend 3-6 months of the year there, can you give me any suggestions for health care insurance coverage I am on a lot of medications and worry about how I will get my prescriptions when I'm staying in Greece. I prefer private health care if available. Thank you so much.
You will find all your meds , just get insurance or pay as you go. You might be able to do that.
It’s easy don’t worry about it - I wouldn’t surprised if you don’t need all the meds after a healthier environment and lifestyle
@@nikosniko7092 Thank you so much, that would be a blessing.
@@ElizabethPerez-db1xc Thank you
I think also that at neraki the famous τσοντα " Το παλαμάρι του βαρκάρη" was produced :)
Γεια σας από την Αυστραλία. I am an Australian-born Greek/Cypriot of Kytherian (father) and Cypriot (mother) descent and live in Australia. Love watching your videos. Could you do a video on your καφενείο story ?

What kind of tattoos are on your arms?
Style is called Realism black and white. Not many artists can do it that well.
