Warwickshire County, England... Greece towns and lifestyle seems very similar to Portugal 🇵🇹 , so yeah watching because I'm curious about Greece and I miss terrible Portugal 😊... Do you mind to make videos about training to get remote jobs, market jobs prospects, careers paths, etc and where to apply for them.??! A dream to be able to relocate back in Portugal in a few years time 🤞🍀

Watching from The Netherlands but my heart is in Greece..... sometimes I cry when I hear the Greek language..... Greece is deep in our hearts ♥

I've lived in London and Greece (Athens and Crete). If I had children, I'd bring them up in Greece

In Greece with giagia and pappou make sense of the proverb "it takes a village to raise a child"

I believe you. That was the Holy Spirit guiding you!🙌 their is a deep community in Greece 🇬🇷

To grow old in the UK is to die slowly, this country is rapidly becoming uncaring, to be old is to feel discarded, dare you approach a child or god forbid talk to a child, you risk arrest and before you know it you are a paedophile!. Daniel your decision to move to Greece to bring your children up is spot on, well done. The Greeks have a thing about family bonds and the love of children and the elderly is in my opinion what makes society function at its best, that's what keeps a country together, it is vitally important, getting together, eating together, sharing things, talking, asking and getting the advice of older members of the family όλα αυτά είναι βασικά στοιχεία της οικογένειας.

I absolutely agree! As a person coming from Poland raising children in UK i wish I went back and raise them in Poland instead. There is no community here and everybody is bullied for smallest insignificant things. You’re speaking to my soul with this subject

I am from Nafplio and was very privileged to have grown up free. Sadly I had little choice when it came to bringing up my kids in London. I have an interesting story.

Really appreciate your videos Daniel, I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning and it is so great to hear your experiences living in Greece. I am a Brit soon to make the move permanently with my Greek husband from the UK and I completely resonate with everything you have said in this video. Whilst Greece is not perfect, I am excited to raise my family here. It is hard to explain but this country and its values feel much closer to my heart. Best wishes to you and your family and please keep the videos coming 🙏🏼

Έχετε απόλυτο δίκιο, στις μεσογειακές χώρες, υπάρχει αυτό το πνεύμα κοινότητας για να ριζώσει τις παραδοσιακές αξίες, χωρίς να ξεχνάμε αυτή την αλληλεγγύη, αυτή την αίσθηση φιλοξενίας και την ποιότητα ζωής που προκύπτει από αυτήν, ακόμα κι αν υπάρχουν δυσκολίες, αλλά η επιλογή του Η Ελλάδα είναι απόλυτα επίκαιρη...Μπράβο ! You are absolutely right, in Mediterranean countries, there is this spirit of community to root traditional values, without forgetting this solidarity, this sense of hospitality and the quality of life that results from it, even if there is has difficulties too but the choice of Greece is perfectly relevant...Bravo !

Good move, Daniel, good rational decision, and emotionally rewarding decision. Any European with 2 eyes that can see knows that by now London is no longer a british, no longer an english, no longer an european city. Sad but true.

California Love your channel

Thanks for sharing your videos! My best wishes to you and your family!

As a Greek Canadian who's been to Greece over 20 times, we always dream of returning back home. Yes, even though we Greeks that are born abroad consider Greece as home, it's the love we have for Greece. Thanks for sharing, and hopefully, my wife and I will eventually move there. The only thing that scares us is work? I guess I will need to research more on this topic..

I am not Greek and from Germany, but I truly understand your vision of life. I have no big family around me and every time I spend my holidays in Greece I miss this culture while coming back.

I live in Crete with 2 teenage boys, and I agree that they have more freedom here and safety. However, the education system is seriously lacking and many young people have to move away for job opportunities

I totally agree with what you said about being raised in Venezuela or Greece. I was born and raised in a third world country, Mozambique 🇲🇿 during civil war & communism, we weren't dirty poor like you said abt yourself or rich, but extended family bond was/still valued (I mean respect for your elders, decency, religion if you wish, etc are very important), etc, etc... Comparing with English system, not disparaging them, it's more Human back in Mozambique🇲🇿 and Portugal 🇵🇹

I totally agree with you. Northern countriea supposed to be happy, I have lived in England for 10 years, Switzerland for another 9 years and I have the feeling that in Greece people are poorer but 100 times happier. So yes , these surveys that say otherwise are nonsense

Bravo Patritha.. always on point. You keep nailing it.

I absolutely agree. First time I visited my husband's home town I decided I wanted to raise my children there. Especially having two daughters I love how Greek women have a sisterhood I've never seen in Germany and Italy. Greek women can be feminine and tough at the same time, it's not seen as opposites. Also in Greece different body shapes are valued more, it's not necessarily about being thin, it's a lot about how you dress, move, talk and shine through personality. Also I find Greek culture more inclusive for binational children. I loved seeing so many fathers at the pediatrician. I loved seeing teenage boys praising toddlers, playing with them and telling them how strong/beautiful/good they are. Community really also for me was and after 20 years still is the main reason I live in Greece.

I think there is another aspect to it and I would term it 'heart'. There is a general kindness and love for all children by society at large, let alone within the small community that is absent in places like England. Lived in London and I feel the same, children are tolerated rather than embraced. Parents fear other parents and children if they live too far away or they don't have a school or an activity in common.

Yes, most of us had pretty happy childhoods in Greece, it's the adult life that makes us all depressed

I loved what you said about being able to see yourself in Greece but not in England. If you can't "see it," I can understand how you would have a hard time to 'be it". I never thought of it that way before. Thanks!😊

Its about to what we connect better... i feel it myself... so much...

I understand fully what you mean when you say, “I couldn’t see it…”.

The greek mentality that hardens family bonds is the same mentality that makes the greek society fail and drives many young adults abroad. Most greeks do not hesitate to damage the society for the benefit of their family. They (ok, we, I am a Greek too!) will not directly harm their neighbour but they will easily create pollution or a traffic jam that costs everyone including the neighbour. This attitude creates an underdeveloped sense of community and disrespect to the institutions. You are right, strong family bonds and a child centric attitude are great assets for the kids and the elderly. But young adults need a functional society and strong institutions to stand on their own feet and not depend on their families. I wish your kids will overcome these obstacles and find their way to a balanced working life and financial stability here in Greece. These are the reasons Greeks migrate.

Kind of off topic from this video, but I wanted to ask…what goes on in Nafplio on “No Day”? I’ll be there this Oct/Nov.

And Athens has everything if you crave more international and cosmopolitan activities than the province. If you like nature, beaches, island hopping, mountains, even skiing not far from Nafpkio you have a choice Menalo is a good resort.

For those who don’t know. Oxi day Oct 28 is a celebration of the annual anniversary of when the Greek Prime Minister said no to Mussolini’s ultimatum to surrender in ww2. The Greeks fought so hard that the Italians could not break through their defensive lines in the north. The Germans had to divert significant resources off the Russian front to take Greece. Churchill credits the Greeks with turning the tide of the war because the troop diversion from the Russian front slowed the German advance enough that winter fell before they captured Moscow. We know the rest. Churchill said that Greeks don’t fight like heroes but heroes fight like Greeks. And we celebrate OXI (NO) every year since the end of the war.

There's state run homes for those who don't have any support. They're usually lacking staff and money, so often the food isn't very good, and the facilities look very run down, but it's better than being homeless or having no care. They're looked after and often the staff is doing their best.

London is becoming more dangerous for teenagers. More knife crime, teenagers attack each other just for fun. Children dont play outside anymore. Me and my 12y old son just returned from Athens where we spent 2 weeks. My son felt all the love and admiration from grownups around him just for being a child in Athens, something he doesn't get in London. And random kids in a park actually wanted fo play together outside with him instead of being on their phones like in London. When we returned to London (and we live a good central area), a neighbour told us there is yet another gang appeared in the neighbourhood and tolld my son to be careful. I am considering starting taking him to school myself again because i dont feel it is safe for him to walk around on his own as gangs usually target teenagers of his age. So yes, London is getting bad, dangerous, super expensive and people became more mean.

I think that this is an idealised view of Greece by you living in a small city. Athens and Thessaloniki (my home city) are becoming (or are already) inhuman and people grow distant. They are not as safe either. I have been living in London and I can tell you that it is a wonderful city, but it is unaffordable. I wouldnt raise a family here and possibly not anywhere in the UK. But I wouldn't raise a family in Greece either. At the end of the day, it is a matter of personal choice. Good that you like Greece.
