I am half Greek, half Spanish. My mother is from Antequera, Malaga/Spain, and my father from Thessaloniki, Macedonia/Greece.Both places are great, I love both Countries.
Been living in Valencia for a year, loved the old town part, and the beach road Calle de las Reinas, with all those tiny houses. A surreal place to be (in a good way), named Cabanyal.
Been living in Malaga, San Sebastian, Porto (Portugal) and other places around South Mediterranean Sea ( I love Fishing thatās why, i need a sea around so i can fish (lol)). I currently live at Xanthi Greece, another lovely place to be.
I am now married and with a lovely son, I am happy with my life, although i canāt travel any more like the old days.
So SpaceStock, i strongly recommend one of our Islands. The West Greek Islands are Great places to live for ever. Ithaki is a historical place, Corfu is full of Italic Influences, Lefkada, Paxi and Zakinthos are pure greatness. If you donāt want to feel deserted on an Island, Lefkada is the place to be, since you can drive through a tunnel underneath the sea in less than 10 mins. Crete, the Southest Island of Greece. Itās a whole standalone nation itself. Chaniaā¦ I love it. Since Greece has so many islands to visit or to live at, I would advise to take a look at them and do your research before you go. I would sudgest Avoiding the very far east Islands, because of the latest Migration Wave from Syria. The situation over there is a bit Chaotic. No, i am not a xenophobic, i embrace all religions and nationalities, but realistically, the thing down there is out of hand at the moment. Kos, Mitilini, Rhodes, & Lesvos are a bit screwed at the moment. All those poor people are trying to move from Greece up to Nothern Europe, so you get the point.
In any ways, I read all your replies, and I honestly would like to Go to Seville for a sangria, jamon patanegra and flamenco. Argentina, Ecuador, Romania, Croatia, and all those lovely places to stay.
With such a variety of options ahead, you are more than lucky to be able to travel!
In any ways, if any of you guys comes to the northern part of Greece, for vacations or whatever you all have a house to stay in Xanthi.
