We dream of retiring to an island paradise, and we love interviewing the candidates!<\/p>\n
A Greek Island seems like a great place to retire (on a sailboat or on land!). Firstly there\u2019s the Mediterranean climate, the olives, wines and produce, a laid back atmosphere, and absolutely gorgeous beaches. It is close to other European countries, is\u00a0relatively affordable, and there are visa options for retirement! The main hurdle would\u00a0be learning some Greek to interact with the locals, but that’s part of the fun.<\/p>\n
Island Livability Score: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is one of those places where by visiting you think you have checked it off the bucket list, but really it was so beautiful and there is so much to see you really just want to return. This trip was a big inspiration for Sails & Spices and the unique experiences you can have while traveling.<\/p>\n
Island Dream Vacation Score: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
FINAL WORD<\/h2>\n
Sailing the Greek Islands and visiting Greece should be on everyone\u2019s bucket list. There is no other place like it. \u00a0The clear blue skies, brilliant blue seas and picturesque whitewash buildings are stunning. \u00a0The islands are easy to explore on foot and by boat, so what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n
