After all, what is most important when you want to settle in a provincial town or in a country less addicted to the race for efficiency or constantly wanting to optimize time, resources, money like in northern or Western European countries...Stop, enough of this rat race ! It's enough ! Daniel, you had 100% reason to prioritize quality of life with solid family values, in an exceptional living environment where food and human values ​​still count, THIS IS PRICELESS ! Of course, it wasn't easy, as you explained and you had to reinvent yourself, I say : BRAVO ! It would be great to see you play with other musicians from your city, spontaneously !

Technology is more advanced today than 40 or 50 years ago! Medicine also but are our lives better? We have lack of time, anxiety most of us live in a "box" away of nature....and most important we do not have friends or real friends i mean!

[@helgaioannidis9365]

I live on a Greek island and I have some very good friends. One lives in my home country (Germany), one where I studied (Italy) and the other two on the same island as me. With the friends that live far away technology is helping us stay in touch.

I enjoy your videos and it's great listening to your positive attitude. I hope I can adopt some of that as I honestly am very angry with what political leaders have done in western countries in the past couple decades. Our children are guaranteed to have struggles that were not necessary. I live in Canada and things are grim here and I do worry for my children's future. Now I'm approaching retirement age and my lifelong goal has been to retire in Greece. I'm sticking to my plan and hope to retire no later than 3 years from now. Keep up the great positive videos I look forward to seeing more.

Ευχαριστώ για τα έργα σού. Αγαπάω περισσότερα από τα βίντεο που βλέπω από εσάς. Keep up the good work!🎉 I'm watching from Chicago and plan to move to Kyparrissia next July 2025.

love this format...very engaging!

Glad you enjoy it Taki. I will make more videos like this! Thanks for your support!

Bringing money from overseas, spending it here, and taking pride in it. Amen and absolutely! Without being an economist, I would even dare to say that everyone who does that contributes to the country's economy. Perhaps it's even a valid reason to start enjoying some tax benefits because of it. I, for one, have been saying this for ages.

[@NickZaharakisChiefOfficer]

Amen

[@sarabeltrami2954]

Hi Daniel, Could you explore the relationship the Greeks have with money? last year I really appreciated the fact that they seems to work to live and not live to work, am I wrong? I would also like to understand what the average salary is in Greece and how much the average life really costs in Greece!

[@h.verheijen7872]

Solar panels are relatively cheap nowadays, and thus energy -and electricity bills can go down easily. How come this is not done in Greece with so much sunhours? IN my country Holland with way much less sunhours it is common good.

[@konstantinos6192]

I think that as a home-based freelancer you can register 30% of your power bill as an expense of your company. Ask a tax consultant.

[@hanislava13]

I would like to hear your opinion on renewable energy in Greece.. Many people in Greece are against it. Why?

[@Pavlos_Charalambous]

Conspiracy theories mainly Many people believe that some of the wildfires started in Purpose to get around some regulations about wind generators Also in tourism related areas they afraid that will damage their business being massive eyesores

[@meridethshykes8522]

If you do another video like this, I love hearing people's answers to the actor studios questions! Fave word, least fave word, what turns you on/ off ? Fave curse word, sound/ noise you love/hate? Profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Makes it a little personal. Thank you for your videos! Can't wait to be in Greece 21/08!

[@muddywaters538]

You don't need the apple store near by, but I love my iPhone ❤❤❤ On another note; I think Greece has an amazingly tremendous and prosperous future with tourism, as long as they stop the mega land/ building ownership from foreign countries who don't have Greece 🇬🇷 in their best interest. Those were purchases that were made when the country was in financial desperation.

[@passionatesingle]

How utterly sad it is knowing some people cannot live without an apple store near them?? An apple store that sells apples yes,an apple store that sells phones,I just have to laugh at this.

Hi Daniel, thank you for your videos, they are very entertaining. I was wondering if you could do a video about schooling system in Greece, how hard is for someone coming from abroad to have their children enrolled in a school, what is the minimum geek language competency and if there is a system of school grading like OFSTED in England. Is the admission in school based on the catchment area or are other admission requirements. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@ourlifeinnafplio]

Schools in Greece are either public or private. Children from the age of 5 must attend compulsory education and the school they go to is the closest in their neighbourhood. In Greece there are lot of private schools with varying fees. Some are international schools. There is an inspection system but not like Ofsted. So the schools don’t get graded for their performance. Teachers in public schools are appointed by the state whereas in the private not.

you're doing the right thing man. Thanks for videos. Nobody will agree with everything you say that is only normal. There will always be aholes

Google says the cost of electricity in Greece is $.11 cents (US) per kWh. In the US it says $.23 cents per kWh. In Ohio where I live my provider charges me $.12 cents per kWh. Can anyone verify their cost per kWh in Greece?

[@realKiraMG]

The cost varies from provider to provider, i'd say .09 to .11$ is about right. However, the average salary in Greece is about 17,000$ per year, while in the US it's 64,000$ from a quick google search. It's not only about the costs but about the incredibly low income as well. So while a US citizen pays about double the price for electricity on avg, they also make about 4-5 times more money per year.

[@BrownEyesGurL]

I sent you two emails via your website: Please read them. Thank you.

[@caseyfuchs]

I like your videos a lot. I was wondering how high are the income taxes in greece?

[@ourlifeinnafplio]

9%: Up to €10,000 22%: €10,001 to €20,000 28%: €20,001 to €30,000 36%: €30,001 to €40,000 44%: Over €40,000

[@brianmakos2308]

Why is there soo much graffiti ? Are locals bothered by it or no ? My great grandpa is from Greece & I’d like to return. Even a few months per year.

[@zhaw4821]

Generally, in Greece, graffiti is another way of communicating with others. Reminders or issues to think of.

[@Buda0524]

I think it looks terrible I don't like graffiti and I think it's a form of vandalism.

[@zhaw4821]

@@Buda0524 I understand how it looks to you. I live in USA 🙂 . I would say, 90% of it is good, it's philosophical, humorous, political. It's like cartoons 😁

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

Some of them is art but unfortunately kids pretend to be grafiti artists and they're just doing stupid things vandalising evereything.

[@zhaw4821]

@@Nicholas.Tsagkos Different people look at art differently. Even ...bad art .. or graffiti, to some, ALSO expresses human nature, Good or bad...

[@speez3354]

As you aren’t Greek your comments of Greece are lite you hold back your punches as you don’t want to piss off the locals because ur not a local. People can’t afford to live there. If you speak any other language and a bit educated they leave Greece. There a reason Greece is ranked as one of the most depressed country. As government isn’t fixing up the economy to help people. Not all working with tourists.
