Some years ago I moved to Cyprus from spending all my life in London .
I can tell you it's the best move I've ever made , sunshine over 300 days a year , very low crime rate , and the best of all no traffic jams whatsoever .
Which city/part would you recommend?
From what I know I would recommend Larnaca , pafos , or paralimni .
Most of the crime is committed in Limassol and Nicosia so the smaller towns have very little crime .
We live in the Larnaca area which I would never change because we're only 10 minutes from the airport and coast .
Crete/Chania best place to stay
Greece all the way! Many islands to choose from or if you want stick to the mainland pick a town along the never-ending coast... I would recommend southern Greece Peloponnese region
Středozemní more je nejlepší místo na světě
Cyclades are hands down the best part of the world
@@bitcoin4life dodecanes too
I would be happy to live anywhere in Mediterranean :)
I believe that Greece is missing from this list.
Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Peloponnisos, Thessaloníki e.t.c.
I agree
It's number 2

I like to travel in Italy and Spain. I love the culture and the people. In the summer however it is too hot for my northern skin. Travelling in Autumn and Springtime is wonderfull for me and in the very south even the winters are nice and you can enjoy outdoors activities. However I couldn't live there. Yes prices are cheap compared to Northern en Western Europe. But the bureaucracy is terrible in all southern countries and unemployment rates are high, incomes are generally low. It is ofcourse different per country, Spain would be the best in that perspective, they really improved over the last decades with good highways, high speed train, etc. Southern France is great but expensive and inhabits only a very small part of the mediterrenian coast. If you are financially independ or retired then some of the above arguments wil be a non issue. What peoply generally also underestimate is if you are going to live in another country and don't want to live in a expat or retirementclub bubble, you have to learn the language, you have to involve in local culture and events. Otherwise you will be always a stranger. I speak from experience here. Most visitors , winterers, expats and retirees however unfortunately only search for a better climate and are not interested in the wealth of culture and history all the mediterrenian countries have to offer. When I retire I will stay in Western Europe but I will travell off season more into this countries for longer periods of time. My wife already speaks French and Italian, and I will learn Spanish the next years. Already looking forward to that.
agree🖕
Beautiful my family and I would love to live there in a couple years!!!!
Happy new year
Numero 1 - questo Sicilia. Buonissima e bellisima in tutto il mondo.
Interesting. Thank you.
I would always take into consideration the fact that the whole Mediterranean region is EXTREMELY earthquake prone -southern Italy was hit by a massive earthquake/tsunami in early 1900's that killed about eighty thousand people -the area around Izmir was hit by a massive quake several decades ago -tens of thousands killed.Have to be realistic about these things!
I live in California, we deal with earthquakes and I would rather do that than be in a driving snowstorm.
Your comment was a dark prophecy considering recent events in Turkey/Syria 😢
Top 10 healthiest countries in the world
Great list but how does Barcelona not make this list ? I mean, does it get any better ?
I noticed all these places are in the Northern side of the Mediterranean. I would consider Morocco and Tunisia which are much cheaper options.
You don’t want to live and or retire there…
@@e.c.listening326 why
@@JayD2006 people seeking a decent place are usually not happy with substandard healthcare systems, problematic human rights situations and strong religious regulations.
Locals try to get away from there for better quality of life and prosperity. “Cheap” is not the key here.
@@e.c.listening326 interesting what you are saying...That's not what I learned from my previous visits to these countries. I understand that there is lack of opportunities for the locals, but I met retirees who settled there and they are happy. I also watched a documentary about medical tourism where Europeans travel to Tunisia and Thailand to receive health care services much cheaper than their original countries.
@@JayD2006 have been to both countries on the job, would not want to live there, would not go there for cheap medical procedures. Your choice. Everyone’s choice.
Spain is considered the best Mediterranean country to live in for many reasons, and Malaga is a favorite destination for retirees. This gorgeous city is located in Spain's Costa del Sol and is similar to Southern California.
Not for taxes especially non EU foreigners moving for tax purposes.
Lol literally nothing stated in this sentence is true
@@vasilis7076 absolutely. And no one with any expertise on retirement would say this.
@eternal summer rising. Could you state your experience
@@peppersghosttheater Stay under the radar. Just rent. Don't try to get residence status.
Yes, if you choose to play by the book, they will SCREW you in taxes.
All these places pale in comparison to Algiers, Tunis, or Tripoli where the people are way more decent, prices dirt cheap, the food wholesome and organic, and the beaches and climate are to die for.
Tripoli? So your recommending Libya as a retirement destination? Absolutely NOT!!
@@kingtrance307 just lebanon and maybe but very maybe egypt or morocco
Durres Albania as well or Kavaja Albania
I could live in rodos or crete
Mallorca is a paradise 🥰🥰🥰 But I'm biased because my family is from there.
Antalya is really nice
Great video. I was just In marseille. Not as rough a city as it’s rep. The city center is beautiful.
I’m looking at living in Antibes, France. On the Mediterranean and very close to Nice and Monte Carlo if you want fun.
Keep the great videos coming and happy new year 🎊
Marseille is a shithole.Totally unsanitary and dangerous in some neighborhoods. Winter is quite chilly there Moreover.
@@towaritch you’re probably right. I was just in the marina area. It’s nice there. I am looking at settling in the Côte d’Azur and I did scratch that city off my list. Lol
I do agree with De Mun Upswing, as a French. I lived 8 years in Marseille, I would not recommend this dirty unsafe and infamous city.
I gave a like for content. However, could you please add timestamps to these vids? Thanks and HNY.
It's easy for people of Western Europe and Americans when they yearly salary is over 100 k a year :)
Try do that with a yearly salary of 6000 Euros :)
At least we border many countries that lie on the Mediterranean sea so the climate is amazing
Izmir is not on the Med but Aegean
The Aegean is a branch of the Mediterranean as is the Adriatic,Tyrrenhian,Ionian etc.
Fact: izmir is actually considered as an Agean City but it definitely has the culture,weather, and geographic traits of a Mediterranean sea city.
Sarande Albania prices have shot up in recent years.
greece yes but other countries is more safe to buy property in mexico maybe spain but others just no especially albania a montenegro my friend has villa in montenegro his father died he didntt visit few years as he was in Germany when he decided to go on vacation guess what on the place where was the villa there is a hotel now and nobody told him or bought his villa or land hes still in court sueing against the country for over 10 years
Greece is much safer than many other countries. I am Belgian and I know this because I have been living in Rhodes for 10 years
First
Portugal always in the top 3/4 in the world to live
Yes, we enjoy it.
Croatia also 😜
@uta gordon I wondered that myself! Perhaps Gibralter moved along the coast westwards?
👍/
I´d prefer Madeira or Tenreiffe
Italy all the way
saranda 99
All Mediterranean cities mentioned and those not mentioned are very nice choices and all are beautiful! I might be biased but the greatest combination of prices, beauty, nice weather, lifestyle, variety of landscapes in close proximity, philosophy of life and DEATH TOO, having the only religion that is apocalyptic (revealed by God) and not man-created or man-distortion of the actual apocalyptic religion, that is Orthodox Christianity, is my country Hellas (Greece). Even if you only care about looking at natural beauties, living calmly with locals it is the best choice, but Hellas offers much more than that for those who are willing and capable of discovering
You had me at " the only religion revealed by God", lol. Very original. Other than that, I like the rest.
Your aggressive neighbor keeps spoiling some of the fun
@@rid.h.tom.4296 everybody talks from personal experience or lack of it. Thus there is a subjective truth and perception about religion, faith God etc, but also an objective one. It's hard to prove my claim, and this is not something I care about, but I stand by what I said 1000%, I am just saying there are absolutely plenty of proofs for the interested one to see and who is capable and has the eyes. Of course anyone who is really interested can learn about Orthodoxy from many pathways, one of which is to get to know some recent Saints like Saint Paisios. Plentitude of books even in English, even on Amazon in kindle format. Even the miraculous life of only one such Saint who did what he did as a member of Orthodoxy, and was like a God on earth, or Saint Porfirios, is enough to prove my claim, because no other religion has something similar. Anyway, I respect your comment, since you can't perceive how sweet is honey if you haven't tasted it,but I stand by my claim 1000% because I would be liar if I said otherwise.
Montenegro is best
Izmir is in Egean and not in Mediterean see !!!
It’s a part of it - The Aegean Sea is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Asia.
The Aegean Sea IS part of the Mediterranean.
Kaç yaşındasın arkadaşım?İkimi, belki üçmi?
Ağzını bir gaha açma....Utandırıyorsun kendini
Thw only two mediterranea places that offer quality of life ,emplyment , 4 seasons and best food are south of france and northen italy. Ofcourse northen italy offers more emplyment.
Northern italy doesn’t even feel like it’s mediterranean
Beiruit used to be great until the terrorists ruined it
Surprisingly, Portugal is not on the list and its islands
Very nice but how about Morocco and Algeria very affordable and on the Mediterranean 👍
Algeria? Are you joking? That country is not welcoming to foreign tourists
Not really attractive for living and retirement
@uta gordon algeria not anti foreigners but anti sionnistes
Every body is welcome but not the israelis
Israel puts palestinians in big open sky jail
How about Morocco?? Casablanca is a wonderful city..
Casablanca is on the Atlantic ocean, that's also why Portugal is not included
Did you read the title
Thousands of Germans prefer to spend their retiree time in Alanya / Turkey, the best place for retirement for british people is Kas, Kalkan or Bodrum in Turkey. These very nice and welcoming places by the mediterrane sea in Türkiye are retiree`s favourites since the 80`s.
Tel Aviv, Israel! come visit and you will see a liberal city, high tech economy with salaries of san francisco, the world veggie capital and very very safe (except for once everty 5 years that Hamas shoots a rocket and Israel shoot it down with Iron Dome).
and an astonishingly beautiful sea and beaches! with the best bodies in the world (competing with Brazil maybe)
You are aware that countries on the African continent are also in the Mediterranean? I guess they are not “ideal”.
If one wants to live in a chithole, then that'd be a choice for them.
You don’t want to live and or retire there.
I would even take Turkey off the list. Especially as a woman!!!!
@@christophermoffitt9044 Erdogan and his regime takes Turkey off limits for reasonable people, men and women alike.
dont forghet sardegna italy
I just knew this list was going to contain ONLY European countries. 🙄🙄
Champions's League versus third division, which team would YOU choose ;-)
Of course the word “ideal” is right in the title
Izmir is in Asia
Amazing
