Love your videos too! We are also living in Athens but as retirees. It may be interesting for your subscribers who are thinking of retiring to Greece to consider the exchange rate on their pensions/investments etc. When we made our plans we were achieving .86c to 1 Euro, then the rate plummeted to .50c. This of course made a huge difference to our quality of life as you can imagine and when we add todays "world issues" affecting prices it is really something to consider when planning retiring in a foreign country. Greece is still more affordable than other countries in Europe, but, like everywhere else, the cost of living has increased. Looking forward to more videos from you. xx Oh, a tip:-)) try the supermarket Kriticos - we find them competitive.

If you can use the metro, it's great, but areas that are served by buses are more unfortunate, as these are often late/packed/stuck in traffic. Also the night lines are very limited. The downside of living close to a metro station is that rent prices skyrocket around it. The downside of owning a car if you live in the center is that if your building doesn't have its own parking (most don't), you will be tortured trying to find a spot, or have to pay for private parking.

@@agirlandherpassport I am not expecting prices to drop much over the next year. Will be going back to Greece in the fall and possibly spring. Usually rent a car unless solo. Then I rent a scooter - which helps on the cost of gas. Sadly, most rental cars don't work for me due to my height (6'3"). So I can never get the REALLY small ones...

No, I don’t think they will change either. Yeah small cars are going to be hard for you. I had a really nice one in Sifnos that while small was spacious. It was a four door car but an automatic.

Exactly. I am used to it. Drove a manual on Samos since an automatic was over twice as much. Drive a smallish automatic on Kalymnos plus a scooter. Being this talk is great for basketball but not great for airplanes and cars.

The automatics can be harder to find as well. In Sifnos, I got one of the rew available and I booked a few weeks out. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to drive a manual

Things are terribly expensive here in Las Vegas. Rents have gone sky high and I live in a not so good area.

Right now I’m in professional pet grooming school online and would like to complete another program afterwards. I also have 2 large Greek dogs that live with me here in Vegas. My apartment is in Kaisariani, It’s small 39 sq. meters but I like where I live. Very pedestrian friendly neighborhood. I’m going to try to get there

Just home from visiting Athens. I have to say cost of living out there is insanity compared to U.K. I’m curious though, why do you stay in Greece and not go to the Canary Islands sooooo much cheaper, and for what you’re paying for your apartment per month in Athens you absolutely could get so much more for your money.

I didn’t move to Greece because of the cost of living. I moved here because I love it. And the cost if living compared to the US is very low.

The cost of living in greece varies according to one's income and where you choose to live...downtown or in the suburbs. But, for foreigners like Americans it might be ideal than most European countries. I know you mentioned that you lived in a more expensive area ( you didnt mention it, nor where you live now).

When you say an Apostilled copy of a birth certificate,do you mean the Consulate to Apostille it, or the state of Texas?

The state of Texas so what ever state you were born in will need to do the apostille.

OK why go to the AB, go to the neighborhood markets which is every week? I get 12 eggs at the street market for less then 2 euros.

I do buy them at the street market. Did you not see the part where I said the difference in price between eggs at the supermarket and the AB? I bought those at the market.

Going to comment even before i watch this vid ,i can tell you Crete is even more expensive than the mainland. The current government have hoodwinked the Greek nation, how can fuel be 40 to 50 cents a litre cheaper in Cyprus when Greece supplies Cyprus with fuel.
