    Sick of covid lockdowns in Melbourne Australia, John and Kristina purchased a 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey with just a few weeks sailing experience.

    You guys are doing the right thing! Do it now and do not wait. At 65y I feel like I was 29+ yesterday and wondering what the hell happened. How did I get here so fast? Do not postpone living life. A well-known saying is: Little did I know that the days that came and went were life itself. Enjoy it while you can!

I'd love to re-live my 20's all over again. And it's funny.. because I really look forward to hopefully being a Granny one day too!! 👵 Funny how that is!

    Greece is just heaven. Every time you experience Greece in other corners of the country on the mainland and 6000 islands around it, you get time after time after time amazed by new incredible jaw dropping moments. Greece is 80% mountains and especially on islands like Crete and the whole mainland the mountains are vast, snow-capped with tremendous beauty. It's so amazing to experience these mountains in february-may with the mountains being snow-capped and then the very lush fields full with a tsunami of spring flowers. Definately recommended for anyone who loves hiking, mountaineering. A backpackers paradise

    I’m a confirmed Grecophile. In my previous job I was lucky enough to visit most of the popular island tourist destinations throughout all regions on a regular basis, as well as some on the mainland. I even ended up living there (a year in Athens followed by 6 years on Zakynthos.) When I finally needed to return to U.K. I couldn’t let go completely so I bought an apartment in the very first place I ever visited in Greece… the island of Lefkás. I also keep a small boat there. I love it as much now as when I first set foot on it. I love all the islands and have happy memories of them all, but the lush green and sheltered waters of the Ionian islands have an extra special place in my heart.

    • @KristinasTravels

      Wow that sounds amazing and is totally a dream of Johns! I’m curious how you found the process of owning realestate in Greece? So amazing to have a boat there also, living the dream ☺️

    • @justinneill5003
      @justinneill5003 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KristinasTravels Hi 😊Purchasing real estate was pretty straightforward, although I was guided by the real estate agent. I just had to attend the notary office in Patras to sign the paperwork. But that was before Brexit of course, so it may have been simpler back then. One word of caution, when it comes to paying for the property, make sure you have bank documents to show the money being transferred from abroad; otherwise the tax office will assume the funds originated in Greece and will make you pay income tax on it! As far as owning it is concerned, there is an annual property tax (“ENFIA”) to be paid. If you own a property, car or boat in Greece you have to file an annual tax return (obviously stating zero income in Greece, assuming that is the case.) You won’t be taxed on anything (apart from the usual property tax and vehicle tax if you have one,) it’s just an odd formality. And you will need a tax number (“AFM.”) You really need to hire a local accountant to take care of it all, he/she will also obtain a tax number for you. The accountant fees vary but 200 euros a year is fairly typical. Yes it’s wonderful to have a bolt-hole in the Greek islands, I only wish I could spend more time there!

    I sent my daughter to school in Greece for a semester in high school. She then returned to teach in Greece for several months, however, the political environment did not allow her to teach at the time. In any event, she has been brain branded with the Greek people, culture, and countryside. As she fondly remembers Greece from time to time, "the most beautiful country in the world!".

    Well, little known fact about Greece is that it has over 200 inhabited islands, and yeah nearly all of them have nice spots like that. You could spend a lifetime exploring them. I've only been to about 20 and the trouble is, you always want to go back to the ones you've already been because they're so great.
    Oh and by the way every main town of a little island in Greece is call Chora (pronounced "ho-ra" with a non-silent "h"). It's just a way of saying "the town" in old greek.

    There are so many superyachts anchored in front of this town, that to avoid all the hustle and bustle with launch boats and smaller yachts and many, many helicopters...😎 we decided to anchor across the bay in calmer waters.
