...this is what this blog will be all about. Our vivid dreams and definite plans to move our life to Crete. What Ellines (like myself) call "Megalonisos" (which means big-island).
We both feel very much cosmopolitans (combined word of Greek origin actually translated as citizens-polites of the world -cosmos). We have lived in various places like Switzerland, Germany, Florida, Hungary (currently) and of course Greece where I have spent the biggest part of my life.
Believe it or not neither of us has never ever even visited Crete. Myself as an Ellinida I know a lot about the island and the local people's character. One good reason for me to want this move more than anything.
Perhaps my husband is influenced by "Zorba the Greek" film and myself by my father.

Actually I cannot imagine my pensioner life away from Home. More sun and definitely more sea is all I can dream of. Those -16C οf the Magyar (Hungarian) winters are not agreeing well with me.
I don't dare think how far we still have to go before fulfilling This Dream but the journey is most of the times as interesting as reaching your destination.
Now you know what you should expect from this blog. Our preparation, our thoughts, our home-hunting and eventually the move and the first impressions and experiences.
I hope some of you stay with us all along the ... journey. We are already grateful for your company.
