Many people dream of spending the years of retirement on an island. InternationalLiving.com has compiled the 15 best islands in the world for retirees. Their study looked for places where one can find peace, a simple life, privacy, strong communities and affordable living costs.
Crete was in12th place on their list. The American website characterized Crete as the ideal choice for anyone who wants to experience island life within Greece.
"Geographically, it is about the size of Delaware, USA and with a population of over 630,000, the island is active and vibrant all year round, largely due to local industry and agriculture," the report said.
"Crete is an excellent choice for retirement for many reasons. "While it offers many of the benefits of living on an island, such as some of the world's best beaches, seaside taverns and a relaxed atmosphere, it also has efficient and functional health facilities," says InternationalLiving.com.
