Finally we managed to travel and spend some time on Spetses, the island that had a lot to do with our decision to move to Greece for our retirement.  We spent several holidays there and made some good friends, especially dear Kostas who runs Bar Spetses.  When we asked him where he would suggest for our retirement in Greece, he suggested Crete which was still affordable and large enough to provide the infrastructure that one needs for retirement such as public transportation and hospitals.  Crete provides a good mixture of towns, cities, villages and plenty of things to do involving history, traditions, food, beaches, music and entertainment and of course the people who we have found very welcoming. We have now been here for six years and have never regretted our move for one minute.
