Hello,

My husband and I moved from New York City to Greece last April and are looking for a place to settle and call home. I am acting as our scout and am arriving in Naxos on Friday with plans to continue to Paros afterwards. We are retired, so not looking for work, but are interested in you, those who live in Naxos or Paros , possible villages to live in, how summer tourism impacts your lives, the extent of winter life, how your experiences have been in blending in with the local culture, etc.

We already have our bureaucratic world figured out, I lived in Greece from 1990-1996 and get by speaking Greek, and my husband and I have traveled in Greece a lot, so we aren’t newbies to the culture.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and we hope to meet some of you!!

Best, Sydney

Sounds like you have your heart set on only 2 places and both are islands, but living on an island means flying yourself back and forth all the time (Athens hospitals, etc). More importantly for the earth, it means flying most of what you need to live to you or ferrying it to you. Why not consider the mainland? ****
