Do you think Greece is a good country to retire?🤔
"No, don't bother. There's enough people here." ;-)
yes, for sure, as long as you fully participate in Greek life and get involved as much as you can
Greece is a very good country to retire if you are a foreigner, the problem starts if you are Greek._
What I’ve noticed is that the majority of people moving to Greece prefer to live amongst the locals and live like one. Shows you how lovely it is.
Unlike many countries like most of SE Asia/Africa/South America, most people living there don’t prefer to live as a local because the locals are very poor living in poor quality housing & water/sewerage services are not like Europe/USA/etc. So these migrants live in select areas with nicer housing which is understandable.
if you have the money to live comfortably sure. Although this probably goes for most places
These are the people greece needs, nice respectful and able to blend in and live a happy life.
Thank you very much for watching us and for your kind words💙💙🙏🤗
Thank you to these lovely folks for participating your interesting interview.
Thank you for watching! ❤️They are lovely indeed. 🥰We really appreciate their presence here on the channel 🙏❤️
Great interview… encouraging to see people my age that have made the move and don’t regret it!
Thank you very much for watching us and for taking the time to leave a comment 💙💙🙏🤗
Γεια σου Αμαλία! Γεια σου Ραούλ! Ωραίο βίντεο!
Hello 😊 👋. Thank you very much 💙
Hi there, I just love your channel and your energy! One small note from a friend: Please lower the background music by an additional 30% when you do such interviews or when you comment. It's the first time it bothers, but I think it's for the best of the channel.
Hello, my friend! Thank you for supporting us and for the feedback!❤️🙏
We'll keep this in mind for the next time. We had some issues with the sound in this video ( due to the lack of microphones for all of us and the copyright issues with the music in the background that had to be covered). We hope you guys can still get some value out of this video. 😊
Thank you and welcome here.
Thank you 💙🤍💙🤗
Thank you, too!💙🙏
Beautiful…and useful!!
Thank you very much 🤍💙🤍💙
To be fair beaurocracy has improved a lot in Greece, I used to hate it as a younger person but gotta recognize that in terms of digitalizing we are not a 3rd world country.
We expected things to be worse from what we heard, but as you say, it is not that bad. Medical prescriptions, payment for the electricity bills, etc. are now digitalised. Even when you buy a property, we hear that's quicker nowadays 😊
Nice view γαματη θεα
Very nice restaurant with very nice view over the Chania town ♥️🤍💙
I like how they call these type of migrants, Expats.
Why would "expats" be a wrong word in this case?🤔
@@Sunpire Not wrong, just a play on words, depending on what part of the world they are from. Just found it funny.
Hey Raul and Amalia, kind request, please if it doesn't bother you during nice interviews like this one remove the background music, cheers!
Thank you for your feedback, we will in the future 💙🤍💙🤍🤗
With body like this who needs hair.......British humour 😁
British humour throughout the whole video 😂😂
👍💙
🙏❤️🤗
Nice work but I’m curious if a single person would have a harder time meeting people there than a couple would.
Thank you. It's very easy to meet people here. it doesn't really matter if you are single or you are in a couple, there is abig communityof expats, digital nomads, etc.
My wife and I often go out alone and have somewhat separate but overlapping circles of friends. We know several single people who seem to have no trouble in making new friends. If you love to meet people, it shows. The best advice I can give is to question, LISTEN, and don't talk about yourself unless asked to. But Greek people love to hear about your family.
The background music makes it difficult to hear what people are saying.
Unfortunately, it was music from the restaurant, and it was very hard to isolate the dialogue and cover that music so it wouldn't be copyright infringement...
Good job as a theme but it needs 2 or three cameras to be more relax to the eye as it is confusing to go left right and the editing needs more skills. But for the effort is good.
Thank you very much for your feedback 🤍💙🤍💙. We will definitely need at least one camera as you said and some extra microphones plus some editing skills 👍🏻 😀 .
We were there for an hour and if you'd been there you'd know that Raul did an amazing job in reducing the loud background noise and keeping the important points of the discussion. Unfortunately, I forgot that my wife had no microphone so, at times, I was leaning away from her while she was talking, which moved the microphone away. Mea culpa. Λάθος μου!

Măi, da cum se aude accentul românesc. :D
😂 nu-i bai! macar se aude ca suntem de la Cluj?
Beaurocracy in Greece exists because almost all the communists and socialists were appointed public servants during the 80's and 90's. These are people who don't like to work much and have established a state by their rules within the actual state. There are so many and today politicians don't harass them much because they afraid of losing votes. Only EU managed to do something by imposing mandatory electronic transaction in many sectors, but the communists and their children are still there to polute the state, so many things have to be done yet
Bunch of horseshit. Half of the guys in the public sector vote for either ND or Pasok. BOOO SCARY COMMIES. Get your head out of your ass, respectfully.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective!🙏 beaurocracy happens in many places, it's very similar in Romania. Although it can be a challenge, you can still deal with it. Hopefully, it will get better in the future, everywhere.
εισαι απο αλλο ανεκδοτο εσυ ..... και μετα λεμε γιατι ειμαστε σε αυτην την καταντια σαν χωρα ........ πηγενε πληρωσε την ΔΕΗ και τα σουπερ μαρκετ του Κουλη.
Did the couple go to Greek Language lessons?

Nomads are happy when they’re moving…it’s the first thing a nomad forgets when they talk about settling down in a country. The solution is to live minimally to have resources to live in 2 to 3 places within the year. Every place has challenges and joys. Additionally, every place changes with the global economy and with technology. Mostly, it’s about mindset…if we look for heaven on earth we are guaranteed to be disappointed. But if we accept this is earth, then we realize the challenges are why we were put here and that the accumulation of past challenges has made us into the strong, wise, and good people that we are.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts with us!😊🙏
Anywhere we live can be beautiful if we choose to see the beauty in it.
You said it well!
Βεβαίως ακριβώς αυτή είναι η Ελλάδα! Αν δεν σας αρέσει, πίσω στη χώρα σας
That's why we're all here, because we love it!😊
