Emigrating to Hellas - Good idea or not?

18 years ago

Yia sas,
I am trying to persuade my wife (6 months pregnant) to move to the Peleponese area in Greece. I have Greek parents, she is fully British. I need to come up with some really good arguments to justify this masive upheaval. I beleive in my heart of hearts that this is the right thing to do. We were both brought up in Liverpool however I have been to Greece many many times and have always thought one day of moving there.
I am trying to find other like minded people who have already done this to find out if you feel you made the right decision and if you like me had trouble persuading your spouse.
Or maybe you like me are thinking along the same lines of moving and have not managed it yet. What is driving you to make the move?
Any feedback or advice would be massively appreciated.
Efharisto Poli.
George.
