UPDATE: the golden visa application was updated in early 2023 and for most of the locations noted the limited investment is now $500,000 and not $250,000:). While this does not apply to all of Greece, research should be done before considering a move.

Is there any chance you have a U.S. Traditional IRA? I wanted to know what taxes you have to pay to Greece on your withdraws after paying the U.S.? There is no avoiding paying the U.S., but I am hoping you get a tax credit thru the no double taxation treaty (doesn't always apply to pensions/401k/IRA). -Thanks.

You left out Kalamata! IMHO this should be No. 1; though I am from Thessaloniki (where I have a home and a second home also in Athens) and live here retired six months of the year (May to October) and the other half of the year in Atlanta, GA, USA.

[@TravelDroner]

I appreciate your perspective as someone who splits their time between Greece and the United States and has a personal connection to both Thessaloniki and Athens. Everyone's ideal retirement destination is subjective and depends on individual preferences I could name 20 more cities in Greece where you can live comfortably I will include that in part 2 of this video, so I appreciate your input!

@@TravelDroner Cancun? A lovely place to have fun. Order some camarones al mojo de ajo con una cervesa mui fria! I look forward to your next video. Kastoria is gorgeous, too…though very cold in the winter. Sparta is very pleasant as well…and on and on! The entire country I would say! :-) I forgot to say that I have a lovely pied à terre in Petaling Jaya (suburb of Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia); and another apartment in “Milano Due” in Segrate, a satellite city of Milano, in Italy. So, yes, I travel all the time…a rolling stone gathers no moss! Hahaha…

@@MrKozanitis Thank you for your comment and excitement for the next video! I agree that Greece, my home country, has many stunning destinations to choose from. It's great to hear that you have multiple homes in different parts of the world, including Petaling Jaya and Milano Due, and that you enjoy traveling. The saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss" is certainly fitting for someone with your adventurous spirit! I hope you continue to enjoy your travels and experiences in different parts of the world.🙂

If you want to work a little for your retirement with $50,000- 70,000$ max, you can buy a land with 300-500 olive trees in Kalamata and produce 6,000-7,000 kilos of the world's best olive oil and earn $ 80,000-100,000 per year selling it and you can sell your oil after harvesting in a month at the most

[@TravelDroner]

Thank you for sharing this interesting and informative comment! Investing in a property with olive trees in Kalamata sounds like a great option for those looking to supplement their retirement income. The potential earnings from producing and selling high-quality olive oil are definitely worth considering. It's always helpful to have alternative options for generating income during retirement. Thanks again for sharing this valuable insight!

Great video but your picture as thumbnail isn't included at the video and believe me is a paradise on earth and no mainstream when you think Greece. So without further ado the little town that is in mainland an looks like an island is called Parga at Preveza region. Parga is a beautiful little town with fortress and an island 100 meters away. Many visitors things that look s like like a little town at Amalfi region in Italy and in Preveza you will found as well the largest continues sand beach in Europe and the biggest ancient town in Greece.

Athens and Thessaloniki are both great cities in Greece, each with its own unique charm and appeal. Ultimately, the best city for retirement will depend on personal preferences, budget, and lifestyle. Athens is known for its rich history and cultural heritage, as well as its vibrant nightlife and cultural scene. Both cities have a lot to offer, and it's a matter of personal preference.

[@user-fr3us1vi8o]

Lets be realistic,Athens is nice but it's also very noisy and overwhelming,Thessaloniki,while also being a bit noisy,is a calmer version of Athens ,ideal for people who want a vibrant nightife and city lifestyle,but also want to escape from the the chocking noise of Athens

Living in the Islands during winter there are not enough doctors so imagine living there with a bad weather and an emergency will occur... Good luck 🤞 If you have an income of 3000€ in a month and above ok . You can live in decency. Bellow that you just exist.
