I missed the house that I lived in outside of the Military Base. I missed playing sports and hanging out with my military friends. Most of all I missed my Greece friends that I use to visit and share those good times while hanging out at the Bars. Of course, I love to go down to the beach and swim in that clear blue water.

Crete boasts the longest recorded history of civilization on any island worldwide. Gaining an understanding of its rich past inspires a profound sense of awe, desire, and pride in those who are fortunate enough to call this land home.

My wife looks 100% European although she Iranian. Frequently she triggered bips and "random" checks in the airports. She even had thorough checks and she was almost denied entry to the plane claiming that the machine detected "explosive" substances on her hands. We originally thought that the problem was her origin. We eventually troubleshooted the problem down to her habit to put on a hydrating cream after washing her hands. She stopped putting cream before security controls and there were no "random" checks anymore. The airport people tend to abuse their authority everywhere in the world, and anybody can be their victim. I hope the airport security personnel will receive a better training on human behaviour in my country, one day. As a Greek, I feel ashamed for the way they treated you. I am glad, however, that you have apparently found an excellent hair stylist after all.

Hello and thank you for your content. I d like to ask , who are the main , or shall we say, predominant ethicity of expats in Crete, For example I come from Limassol Cyprus and here it feels like a mini Russia/ ukranine and Tel aviv. Could you enlighten me on this subject please. thank you

@umanapresents I think Crete has a huge community of British expats, so I think it's safe to say British people, then people from Scandinavian countries.

I think it’s important to spell out the truth about living in a particular city/country. All the pros and cons that you’ve experienced regardless as to whether you’re going to offend the locals or not. Some of your Cons may not be Cons to other people,so it doesn’t matter. I believe that with a bit of diplomacy one can say things the way they truly are and not sugarcoat them to avoid offending. Love your videos,as usual.

Hi Rose, I haven’t seen one of your videos for ages,and nothing has come up on my notifications with regard to new postings.Sorry to hear of your Brother‘s loss,please accept my Condolences. Unless I’ve missed one your videos pertaining to your move to Madeira,I am dumbfounded. I always thought that CRETE was your forever move and that overall,you were very happy living there.I don’t want to know all the nitty gritty,but WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART ABOUT GREECE? Very interested to know whether things didn’t work out or that a job relocation was the main reason. Hope to hear from you soon.

Yes, your video has helped me immensely because I would never move to a city or country where you cannot flush the toilet paper down the toilet. Crete. Thailand. And a few other countries are so far behind the times! That is so Dark Ages kind of stuff. It's well into the 21st century, in case they haven't noticed! They have the monies to UPDATE THEIR PLUBMBING, but the greedy politicians are too busy doing other things with that money. Thanks for saving me time and money in going to Crete only to have been shocked by the toilet paper issue. God bless you, richly!

I would love to move to Crete, and I think I would fit right in as an Orthodox Serb., However, I don't think there are jobs in Crete for foreigners, and the only thing that makes sense for survival there (unless you are a millionaire) would be to live off the land, and perhaps fish. That being said, you would need at least a few hundred thousand dollars to get started..., If there is a better chance, or different opportunity, then yes, perhaps there is a possibility.

It is suprising that there are people who want to move into Greece or immigrate to Greece. This is because the Greeks want to immmigrate out of Greece, and many have immigrated to other parts of Europe.

Your treatment in the airports was clear racism. I'm sorry that you had to endure that. Your husband in my opinion should have never left your side. Here in the US, white people (and other non-black people) will use the excuse of "just doing their jobs" to discriminate, harass and demean black people. Often times the racism isn't overt, it's subtle, aka microagressions, even unconscious, such that people aren't even aware that their behavior is racist. Racism isn't always an overt malicious act by people with conscious ill intent. I hope to be able to move to the Aegean coast of Greece one day, but I'm fully aware that the disease of racism is everywhere and can show up in the most mundane ways. Stay safe my sister.

Hey great content, I wish you best with your KZbin channel. No disrespect but I need to educate you on a few things. I’m a mixed race of Bosnian, Turkish and Arabic. Firstly Greeks are not white. They are mixed and basically apart of Middle East. If you do research they were actually colonized by the Turks and Arabs so there mixed. They never colonized Africans so frankly you have nothing to worry about, your not in danger. If some Greek is rude to you it’s not because of your skin color. I know you have been raised to think that but no worries there not white and they have no racist history if you actually do research. Please don’t bring this mindset to Greece thinking your being attacked and hated wherever you go. If a Greek person gets to know you I’m sure they will love you unless your not a nice person and feeling victim or maybe that Greek is just not a nice person. When I went to Greece there was many Greeks staring at me and some were nice besides few times I got dirty looks so it doesn’t matter if you are African even I dealt with hatred. Many Africans in Greece live peacefully and comfortably and have never experienced racism. If someone doesn’t like you maybe there going through something. I pray you are having good time in Greece and remember they can’t be racist because they are mixed people and also very hospitable. Every country though has rude people so please don’t bring this environment and mindset to Greece. Learn Greek and actually try to make friends you’ll be in shock that they care less about skin color.
