I am an Athens-addict as well. It's hard to explain what it is. Maybe it's because the gods in Athens still dwell among the mortals 💗

Excellent video!..... Very informative!..... Thank you!....

I think Greece is good for people who have an income from abroad or people who have accumulated some wealth to live on in Greece. It is DEFINITELY not a good idea to come to Greece financially broke. I lived in Malta as well. I had the best 5 years of my life there but Malta has changed in the past 10 years. Finding accommodation which is affordable is really difficult. Expect to pay at least 1000 EUR for 1 bedroom flat. It is now overcrowded, the real estate market has been destroyed by the influx of people coming from Dubai to work in Malta since Dubai has become too expensive for people on low income. Malta has become very expensive. You need a good income in order to enjoy your life there. I think Poland is now very happening now. Lots of job opportunities. I think you might have better chances in Poland. Plus your family and friends are there. You might earn more money there and spend some of that money in Malta on holiday. Best of luck to you. Subscribe to my channel. I will be taking you on my life journey in Crete and other places I visit on business trips. I will be moving to Crete. I fell in love with the island, its people, the countryside, the climate. Good luck to you in Malta. Sahha.

Στο καλό και να μην μας γράφετε 😂😂😂😂

This is why living in Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece etc.) is not a good choice, because they only interact with their families. For foreigners those are difficult places.

Thank you so much for this. As an American near retirement, I could come there, retire and be comfortable there. My whole life has been spent here in the USA. My ex husband is Greek and now lives there again after over 44 years in the USA. He loves Greece but realizes many things that are bad in his homeland. He is financially ok and lives comfortably in Greece but says he misses us here. He feels like a strange in his homeland but his quality of life is better in Greece. The U.S. is extremely hard life as you age. It’s for young ambitious hardworking people. We are seniors now and ready to relax now. I will be 65 soon and wanting to stop working and live a bit before I am too old to do so. It’s hard in U.S. but in a different way. You have to be very strong to endure it. Greece is for vacation and retirement, sadly. Greece doesn’t produce like some European countries do. Corruption and not creating opportunities for their citizens and the EU seems to want to keep it that way. I love Greek culture. My heart is with Greek people, here and the homeland. Lovely and thoughtful video. All the best on your next journey 💙

Damn this is so true hun, we spend our time conforming to others and not making ourselves happy. This is bigger than travelling , you need to do counselling P,

Wow honey , follow your dreams , proud of you

Congratulations on your new job and new adventure. I leaved in Athens for 6 months, it was the best time of my life. I met great people who till this day 16 years later are like family to me

Greece is the most beautiful country in the world but I could not stand the rampant corruption on all levels and left... Do I miss it? Elements of it, yes. BUT, I love being in a place where honesty, hard work and integrity count. Greece is all but destroyed because of the corruption. Even those that are not corrupt have to adjust in order to survive. Greeks vote for the same corrupt politicians every time and expect different results. Doesn't work this way... Used to have beautiful scenery and it has been destroyed by the wind generators on every mountain top... Used to have amazing food and that has been destroyed as well by imports of fruits, veggies, meats, dairy and fish, that does not taste as good as it used to in years past. Unfortunately, Greece is done, finished, kaput, sayonara...

Life is worth living around love ones.Enjoy your stay as you relocate🎄.

Ειμαι Ελληνας ομογενής που εζησα πολλά χρονια στο εξωτερικό. Εφυγα σε μικρή ηλικία (17 ετων) . Επεστρεψα μετα απο 34 χρόνια ξενιτιάς. Χρόνια βάναυσα στηναρχή μεχρι να πάρω το δίπλωμα μου τεχνολογος μηχανολόγος, και με όνειρα για δημιουργία. Ναι μου εδωθηκε η ευκαιρία να εργασθώ να πέσω,να σηκωθώ να χασω να καιρδίσω με τίμιο αγώνα. Εδημιουργησα οικογένεια αλλά εχασα ζωη, ηθη και εθιμα, γαμους , βαπτίσεις θανατους, πανηγύρια και οτι αλλο κάνει την ζωη να ειναι ευχάριστη. Εργάστηκα 16ωρα για να μπορεσω να αποταμειευσω. Και τ ελικα επεστρψα στην πατρίδα. Ειχα δυσκολίες να μπορεσω να κάνω και να δημιουργήσω αυτο που ηθελα εδώ. Το σύστημα δεν σε αφήνει Αλλά καταφερα να επιβιώσω. Ελιγμοί χρειάζονται ανοικτό μυιαλό και. Τιμιότητα. Κοιταζοντας πισω στο παρελθόν εκαταλαβα οτι και στην Ελλαδα εαν εργαζόμουν οπως και στ εξωτερικό ισως να ειχα δημιουργήσει περισσότερα. Οι ευκαιρίες υπάρχουν παντού. Τωρα να αναλύσουμε τις σημερινές καταστάσεις σε χώρες της Ευρώπης και των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. Ναι θα βρεις εργασία εαν γνωρίζεις την γλώσσα. Ισως να βρεις εργασία στον τομέα της επιστήμης σου , ισως οχι γιατί κάποιος ντοπιος θα πάρει την θέση αλλά εαν εργάζεσαι θα πληρωθείς με πολλά χρήματα σε ποσα εν συγκρίσει με την Ελλαδα. Αλλα , αλλά θα πληρώσεις μεγαλύτερη εφορία, μεγαλύτερα ενοικια, ακριβότερα ειδη διατροφής και εαν εισαι τυχερος η τυχερή μπορει να σου μεινουν τα εισιτήρια να ελθεις να δεις τους δικους σου μια και τους πεθύμησες. Και εαν θελεις να εργαστεις δευτερη εργασία (δουλειά) απο την (δουλεία) παλι θα φορολογηθείς σε μεγαλύτερη κλίμακα και θα σου μεινουν τα υπόλοιπα. Αλλά ζωή νιξ. Και στο τέλος ο πληθωρισμός θα σου μμειωσει αυτα που εμαζεψες . Μην Ακούς τις Σειρήνες βαλε κερί στα αυτια σου οπως ο Οδυσσέας και προχώρα εδω στην πατρίδα σου ,εργάσου οσο πιο πολύ μπορεις , προσπαθησε να δημιουργήσεις στην πατριδα σου. Θέλουν να σε διώξουν για να σου την παρουν , μακροχρόνιο το σχέδιο τους . 3 γενεές τώρα και το πληθυσμιακό προβλημα μεγαλώνει. Το brain drain εχει γίνει η αιμορραγία της πατριδας. Στο λενε καταμουτρα αλλα δεν κάνουν τίποτα γι αυτό. Η ανάπτυξη που διαφημίζουν ειναι μόνο για αυτούς τους ξενοφερτους που βλεπουν το εργο της καταστροφής που κανουν να αυξάνει. Μην πιστεύεις αναρτήσεις σαν και αυτη. Εδώ ειναι ο τοπος ο ευλογημένος μονο που θέλει αγώνα , πεισμα , ανοικτό μυαλό και θεληση για δημιουργία. Καλη επιτυχία.

Greece is not a country you arrive "broke" . You work somewhere where you can make a lot of money and when are you 50 you take your money and retire in Greece. I know many people who have done it and they regret why they couldn't do it when they were 40.

I came to Greece 31 years ago and never looked back. Greece was kind and generous to me and I worked hard. I made a precious family here as well. Unless I need to become a war or climate refugee I’ll be here for good!

Only in Greece can you find a copy of Heracleitus in a rubbish pile.

Boring

Cheers to Poland and Polish people!

I am exactly like in your situation, I left my country too...for the same reasons as I understand. From my point of view, I would suggest ,you to go back to Poland 🇵🇱 ❤. You will never settle if you continue to give another "fight" in Malta . Poland is a Great place to live. I know few of Polish people ,which some are friends and I can say that they are very good people

You said it all !! Insecurity Very hard to pay the bills taxes This Is By Design What Happens To Greece A Hugh Problem With Corruption In All Governments Contribute To Make A Paradise on Earth To A Living Hell To Make Friendly Hospitable Happy People Depressed!!! Uncertainty And Depression is At Its Peak I Had To Leave Greece Sadly 9 Years Ago My Daughter Came Back 2 Years Ago So I Hear About Her Struggle And Breaks My Heart.I Know Deep in My Heart That Greece Will Overcome All This and Be Even Better Then Before !!A last Thing Everybody in Greece Was Happy Before Greece Joined EU. incapable Politicians And EU Ended Everything And Made Greece The Way It Is Today WITCH IS NOT !!!!I Wish You All The Best From The Bottom of my heart And I Feel You Will Do Great !!!!!!

Hi Pati Love your genuine vibe and videos, and that you can totally tell you spent time in the UK..Let's crack on with it! :) xx

What about posting in the future some comparison videos of your new life in Malta vs your old life in Greece? I think it is a good idea to watch your point of view and it will be interesting for your existing audience too.

I have worked in Greece as a stage resort entertainer in top 5 stars resorts. You can make a lot of money anywhere IF YOU HAVE THE SKILLS. If you don't have skills that can easily translate into money it will be hard anywhere. Content creation can also make you money, through brand deals mostly! There's many content creators out there who are crashing it...however charisma is needed to build a brand that lasts. So...if you are a content creator but didn't make enough in Greece...and your niche is based on traveling, you cannot stay a lot in one country only. If your brand is wellness, relationships, finances & co, then you can build it from one country only. The rest of the people who work 9-5 or any other type of make your boss rich hours, will be poor in any country.

There are problems everywhere and once you realize that and understand and it's only you that can change your life and nobody else or no place else maybe you'll understand what life is all about

Malta is very hot and humid, I would definitely choose Warsaw to live. I really loved it when I visited.

You talk too much rubbish……….

I think the best for you go back to Poland

Αντε στο καλό, γιατί παραμαζευτήκατε.

I think the best for you go back to Poland

I grew up in Australia migrated 1965 parents and siblings!!! Eve up to this day I could never understand how every Greek thinks that anywhere else is perfect paradise until they come here and they in shock doesn’t meat there expectations but they to embarrassed to go back to Greece because they thought they will find money in the street I feel sorry for them they working 3jobs to get through life

If you knew all of this, then why did you come back? Greece, has lost its soul its purpose its culture, religion.The political system is the problem, it has handed the keys to the country, to this failed institution called the E E.U.Greece, is only good for a holiday, then you leave and come back a few years later for another holiday and leave again.Its sad but thats the awful reality.So your polish.Poland has a fantastic leader and is a country will laws which she defends vigorously. Greece, has laws too, but no one follows them, and no one enforces them, thats why the country is FKD.

LUCKY YOU!!! THATS HOW PARLAMENTARY- OLIGARCHY CAN FOOL THE PEOPLE THAT THEY LIVE IN A PARLIAMENTARY-DEMOCRACY. ALL THE BEST FROM THE GREEKS

Pati,the very few videos that I’ve watched,I loved each and everyone one of them. I love your personality because you come across as being very down-to-earth and I appreciate and respect this attitude. No BS,only true feelings and facts.We’ve all heard the saying « Money doesn’t bring happiness « .I’m going to be a bit of a Contrarian because it does. A case in point is your situation,if you would’ve landed a good job with a good salary that would’ve allowed you to enjoy Athens/Greece without the financial restrictions,you would stay put and just enjoy life. Also,when you have enough money in your purse,you will always be out and about and meet other people and never feel lonely. Money is not to be worshipped but it is necessary to bring us happiness in our day to day life. I sincerely wish you all the best in your next adventure and hopefully you will be able to put roots in Malta as your main Hub.

At first let me wish you the best luck for whatever you wish to do in your life. I don't mean to criticize but, from what you stated in your video, it seems like to me that you are not really a career person with any desired professional skills (nurse, engineer, management staff etc.) so I would assume that whatever you did in Greece for a living your earnings would at or slightly higher than the minimum wage and please correct me if I am wrong. Unfortunately with the exception of countries like Albania, Montenegro and the rest, life in Europe is expensive and anyone with low wages will face a struggle. At least in Greece you would have the weather, the sea, the food and all the rest of benefits that make the Greek atmosphere rather than the gloomy and dark northern Europe. Nonetheless be safe and the my best wishes to you. I am Greek born and raised in Athens and I love it.

As a Greek I am happy when people from other ethnicities realize by themselves how hard life is here in Greece! We work more than any other European (this is a real fact from official eurostat) and we can buy less than any other! Better choose another country!! Anyone who thinks that will come in Greece to live an easy life in paradise, come, and talk to me 5 years later! Yeah, i told you!!

I believe it too when you surrender you relax, and thus become more open energetically. Maybe I missed a detail in the video, but was it hard in Greece for you due to the language as well?

I'm in a similar situation right now. I'm having to leave London after living here for 20-odd years and heading back to Greece where I am originally from. I've only heard back from one of the many job applications I've sent and that fell through. The overall picture is really unprofessional and really low pay. I'm really concerned.

Bla bla bla. I stop to watch on 11 minutes. Good bye, good luck and don’t write to us. Thank you

Είναι που είναι άσχημα η πατρίδα μας, έχουμε και τον κάθε λογής αλλοδαπό στην καμπούρα να μας τρώει το βιός. Ουστ και πάρε και κάτι εκατομμύρια που μας έχουν φορτωθεί μαζί σου.

I think I can speak for most people when I say that we are here for you bubbly personalty and perspectives on life. When life closes one door, a new one will open. Thank you for making content and I'm exited to follow your new chapter in Malta!

The best of luck. Salaries in Greece are a joke and in no way sustainable. You made the right choice to leave

Best wishes and thanks for sharing your experiences. I hope that you keep doing these videos.

Oh, Pati - I am so happy for you to have made a decision and withstood the process - until The Universe came through !!!! 😉. You demonstrated keen reflection, sound thinking AND decision making, especially allowing yourself to SURRENDER in order to stop depleting yourself with stress. Looking forward to seeing your videos about your “new life” in Malta !! One suggestion: you might want to put some thought into how to leverage your RUclips channel into a business, rather than just a beloved hobby. “Pretty Over Fifty” put out a recent video on just this subject. 1) Developing a mailing list (offering a weekly newsletter/note) and 2) Creating B2B relationships will enable you to bring in revenue streams, which RUclips views alone will never provide. I wish you ALL the best of luck and a WILDLY SUCCESSFUL a MOVE TO MALTA !!! 🇲🇹. 😘-V

My parents left Greece for Canada in 1957: now, everyone I know here is homeless (fortunately, I share a 50 square foot broom closet in the Toronto Underground with a Supreme Court judge, a celebrated neurosurgeon, and an eminent university professor).

I am also planning on leaving Greece next year. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful country and I will for sure come to vacation, but living here is very hard. I have to think of what’s best for my 11 year old son, and in the US I feel he has more opportunities to grow. Greece is beautiful I agree, but living here is not the same as vacationing. I wish you the best of luck in your new endeavors 😊

I understand your decision. I am only 32 and already stressed about saving money for retirement.

Don't worry, you will jump on a different little cloud and will head for a different fantasy that will again disappoint you. How about maturing a bit and step on the ground with both feet??

I love your look out on live. It's so much different to mine but I could see myself doing just the same at the same time :D Life in Berlin is also crazy expensive atm too. If you want to find a flat for 2 people that has at least 2 rooms you can pay insane amounts just to be considered to get it. If I was by myself I could not afford it with my current job.

Dear Pati, I have always loved watching your videos ever since I first discovered your channel. I deeply resonate with your sentiments for being close to nature and enjoying the great outdoors. After all, we are all limbs of God. Dream On and Keep Going. Respect & Love. ❤
