Thinking of moving abroad?

March 28th, 2006

According to Eurostate there has been an increase in population in Greece but the natural biological birth rate is down. The increase in population is due to the huge numbers of immigrants moving to the country. Brits in particular like Greece and you will find a fairly large Expat community living in Crete. If you are thinking of moving we recommend you do your homework. This sight ‘Living in Crete‘ is quite helpful and should get you started with your research.

Did you know that the population of Greece is too large for the size and economic capacity of the country? That might explain why the population growth has slowed down but it does not explain why the Greek government gives mothers a lump-sum payment of 2000Euros for every child after their second born. This means that they actually want growth. Strange but true.
