Greek Islands
Emigrating to the Greek Islands
6.000 Griekse Eilanden waarvan 227 bewoond. Had je ooit gedacht dat het er zoveel zouden zijn? Wij zijn erg benieuwd op welke eiland jij wilt gaan wonen, maar dat vertel je ons later maar. Eerst willen wij je graag helpen om wat meer informatie op te doen ter voorbereiding op je emigratie.
Why choose the Greek Islands?
Many people we’ve helped move to islands like Crete, Thessaloniki, or Samos intentionally choose a quieter life with less financial pressure. They accept the economic challenges and the limitations in healthcare as part of the lifestyle. For this reason, it’s often retirees who make the leap to one of these islands. What’s your reason?
6 reasons to move to Greece
- The Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal destination throughout the year.
- The desire to live on an island and lead a quieter life.
- The healthiest cuisine in the world! Will you go for tzatziki, eggplant salade, lentil soup, moussaka, or dolma?
- The cost of living is significantly lower than in Northern European countries.
- Extremely favorable housing prices.
- The people are super friendly and very family-oriented.

How to emigrate without stress?
Verhuizen naar de Griekse eilanden brengt extra uitdagingen met zich mee dan een reguliere Europese verhuizing op het vasteland. Ten eerste ga je over zee in plaats van land, maar vergeet ook niet de Griekse bureaucratie. Er komt veel meer voorbereiding en papierwerk aan te pas. Dit kan de nodige stress opleveren bij mensen. Dan hebben wij de emotionele stress nog niet eens meegerekend. Even snel op en neer ‘rijden’ naar Nederland als er zich een probleem voordoet, is namelijk iets lastiger en dit vraagt om de nodige organisatie.
Kortom: ons advies is om tijdig te starten en meerdere specialisten in te schakelen want wij willen niets liever dan dat jij zorgeloos kan gaan emigreren. Daarom delen wij graag onze ervaringen met je. Van een tijdelijke storage of furniture tot aan het regelen van al het papierwerk. Wij staan voor je klaar. Van begin tot eind, van deur tot deur.
To take into account...
- Every two weeks, a ship departs from the port of Greece to all the small Greek islands, carrying the belongings of our clients. The container is delivered from The Port of Rotterdam , ensuring that you are without your items for as short a time as possible and minimizing the transit time. Once at your chosen island, we have a 'unloading crew.' These are our trusted local partners who will handle your move seamlessly, maintaining the quality you’ve come to expect from us!
- The Greek language is one of the hardest languages to learn in Europe. But as a true adventurer, you will undoubtedly pick it up quickly. Don't forget to start working on it in the Netherlands beforehand so you can prepare as well as possible. This will surely earn you some extra points with the locals.
- The The healthcare system in Greece is managed through IKA. Unfortunately, their coverage is not as comprehensive as what you’re used to in the Netherlands, and the quality of care is also lower than what you might be accustomed to. Keep this in mind.
- Planning to start your own business? Get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce (KVK) , as they can provide the right information specific to each region.
- Do you intend to bring your car with you? You will need not only your personal information and that of the car but also a purchase or rental agreement for your home. Additionally, there are stricter regulations regarding the car itself. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you get started!
Last but not least, don’t forget to enjoy the rich history and the healthiest Mediterranean cuisine in the world. Jamas!
