7Crete


Crete is one of the most popular retirement destinations in Greece—and for good reason. As the country’s largest island, it offers modern hospitals, international airports, and a wide variety of living environments. Retirees can choose between lively cities like Chania and Heraklion or quieter villages nestled in olive groves and hills.

The cost of living remains reasonable, especially outside major tourist areas, and the island’s famous Cretan diet contributes to a healthy, active lifestyle. Crete also has a strong year-round population, making it ideal for retirees who prefer places that don’t shut down in winter.
