Retirement in Greece

10 years ago
Hello all.. My wife and I was seriously considering moving to Greece after retirement. Both of my wife's parents emigrated to the U.S. so she is in process of obtaining her Greece/EU citizenship. We are planning a vacation in July to explore the possibility of purchasing a condo in Athens, with the thought that one of our nephews could serve as a caretaker over the next couple years. It sounds crazy to our friends... but we figure my federal retirement and social security will go further in Greece. we currently live in Washington D.C. and cannot imagine being able to retire here. Any war stories, encouragement, or discouragement will be appreciated. we are just starting the planning process. Opa!!!
