OK I'm still learning but my understanding is with the dogs jags etc I need to do the journey within 5 days .... possibly more research required?

Very many thanks for so many quick and informative replies. We would be intending to stay in the Agios Nikolaos area and I still haven't made my mind up ref fly or drive with the dogs welfare in mind., personally I dont fancy that drive. It will take me a while to process so many good tips and infor...

I have been on these forums for a few years now with the dream of moving to Crete permanently. We finally retired and were presented with a few unavoidable set backs (I wont bore you with the details). Now at last we are looking to make a move but, we now have a big shy dog (German Shepherd) and wil...

Bent judiciary, or just incompetence? also the same as most other european countries one has to ask ...why are there still legal proceedings going on 6 years after the event with still no decision ..... legal eagles keeping the trail going to make money?

Thanks to all contributers. There were not as many contributers as usual this year (over 3 sites) so t would seem that the figures are now just about right.
Once again many thanks to all that contributed and anything further that comes in I will make amendments for next year.

First off, apologies for not getting in here more often as I have had my hands full elsewhere. i.e. my e-mail was hacked, my bank account was hacked, my wife is going into hospital and not sure of recovery time, older relatives unwell, the 2 main computers in the house decided to give up the ghost w...

Could this be the cost of living for 2014. Ok “here we go again, happy as can be, we’re all good friends and jolly good companeee”” .. Goodness knows what the cost of living is anywhere these days as prices, taxes, expenses etc seem to change from one week to the next and rarely for the better. (and...

Thanks for that Peebee
Which pretty much confirms our figures in the original post are fairly accurate, a little more or less depending on your lifestyle.

Thanks again

I take that comment back Kilkis, just googled "homeless in Crete" and was surprised at the amount of info. when you are fortunate enough not to fall into that catagory it is ???? difficult to imagine how a goverment can allow its people to be that desperate and actually homeless. illegal i...

I know I will sound terribly niave here ..but why are there homeless people living there?? and if you were to temporarly loan them your house, how likely are you to get it back in good condition with no fuss?

This thread usually has a good response, but not so much this year ? (thanks to those that have contributed). I can only assume that the figures are now pretty accurate .... never mind I will be over in a few days to see for myself ..and for the first time ever I am looking forward to spending some ...

not sure feather to laugh or egg you on for more

Thanks folks ..I will adjust the phone figures to show 400 euro instead of 600 as it would appear there are improved deals out there. I am surprised noone has said I am light on any figures, the way prices have been climbing

Cost of living 2013 Ok here we go again.. Goodness knows what the cost of living is anywhere these days as prices and taxes etc seem to change from one week to the next. The following are the figures finalised for the middle of 2012 and contributed to by many, many people living mainly on Crete. Fro...

To be fair its the same probably all over Europe with shops closing. I am still in Scotland and every retail type shopping area that I have visited recently has many closed shops ..... i.e. jessops, comet etc but a lot of the smaller shops also, it is sad but as has been mentioned, peoples shopping ...
