I'm 72 and just lost my wife of 47 years, with her health problem (auto immune and asthma since 2000) and we were advised to leave the UK as her asthma was VERY bad there.
Stayed in France/Italy for hols.etc but not good there either.
Visited Crete, Greece in 2003 (as Ruth's niece was having a Villa built there) and her asthma was much better; so from 2003-2006 she visited here several times and different seasons and she was still much better on Crete !!!!
So sold our home in Bournemouth and moved to Crete and purchased 5000 sq. mts. land with the dream of building a home.
Thank goodness we didn't as Greeks VERY corrupt and nothing LEGAL etc.
So rented and moved 6 times in 10 years. and now overlook Souda Bay and only 450e a month (so VERY hard to decide my future??)
