[Efi Kalogirou]

Hi Tim!

Greetings from slightly-cloudy-yet-still-sunny Athens! My name is Efi (Efthymia in full)!

Born Greek, but I’ve lived in eight different countries and restarted life and business more times than I can count before moving back home... So I understand exactly how exciting but overwhelming the relocating process can be.

My love for Greece is what prompted me to start Definitely Greece (a quick google search should do - as I can't add links at this time) as a way to preserve and share the authentic, non-touristy side of my incredible country. If you’re someone who appreciates history, culture, and nature over tourist traps and loud advertising, you’ll find plenty there to explore. Greece has a soul that’s hard to compare, which is why I believe it’s the perfect place to retire and live a balanced, healthy life.

One month should be plenty to visit some of the areas, get a feel for the land and see what region you most gravitate towards. However, I know that a big move always comes with a million questions - some practical, some emotional - and the emotional side of things can take a bit longer to soothe out. If you're planning to make it happen soon I'd be happy to offer a local's hand.

Before I get too off track, I wanted to mention that I’m now helping people relocate to Greece using my local base and industry s to make the process as smooth and as possible. Greek bureaucracy is known for being a jungle to navigate (even for locals), but even beyond that having a local on your side can open doors you didn't even know existed... and it doesn't hurt with settling in, getting to know the unwritten rules of the culture and finding your community.

If you'd like to get together for a quick e-coffee I'd love to extend a 15 minutes consultation on me to go over any questions you may have and see if I can help further.

Wishing you all the best!

Cheers,
Efi
