What is the BEST part of GREECE to move to for?

Question

family from USA? and what is the best part of AThens to live in also?

Athens or island? Thanks :)

Answer 1

If you want to live in a big city, Thessaloniki is the best imo, among the biggest cities. Otherwise, for a smaller city i would choose Kavala. As for an island, either Corfu, Rhodes, or Crete.

Answer 2

Why not mainland - we live in Epirus ... prettiest part  (Preveza) of Greece in my opinion - life is all year round not just seasonal like islands and not as busy and hectic as Athens.

Assimakis - son of the local doctor???? If yes then I have your old teachers here - Jo and Graham!

Answer 3

never lived there but travelled  lot

my favourite place is parga - near preveza on west mainland

coast - you can get to athens easy - island are lovely

but think you may feel a bit isolated in winter

Answer 4

I'd go for an island, Athens is so muggy, and doesnt really show the beauty of Greece

Answer 5

best suburbs of athens are (in no particluar order)....ekali, kifissia, vouliagmeni, voula, glyfada.  u wouldnt want to actually live IN athens....way too crowded and congested....and im a NY'er saying that!!!

islands are great to visit, but living there year-round would be inconvenient, especially in the wintertime.

i love the ocean, so vouliagmeni would be my pick.

Answer 6

What a coincident. I'm from Preveza  too and i would suggest it for moving.

Great beaches (California style), Nice weather, extremely low crime, quite good roads, and with an international airport (Aktion)

I would not suggest an island because of the fact it makes it difficult to travel if you need something from the mainland (for example bad weather keeps sometimes ferrys from travelling).

In athens i would suggest the northern (Kifisa, Halandri Vrilisia) or southern  (Glyfada) suburbs, if you can afford   them

Dear asimenia i don't know any doctor and what you are talking about

Answer 7

Not Athens for sure!  I have been there too many times.  If you want a city go to Thessaloniki...an island, Corfu or Santorini.
