How it started

Embarking on a new adventure often begins with a spark of inspiration.
So, how did we end up moving to Crete?
For us, it was the delightful moments of shared cups of coffee at our cherished pastry shop that fueled our desire for change. Like many others, we faced unforeseen challenges during Covid and sought solace in the idea of a different way of life.
The allure of immersing ourselves in a foreign land and the endless possibilities it held motivated us to embark on this transformative journey. With a shared sense of purpose, we dedicated nearly a year to meticulous planning and thorough preparations.
As we packed our belongings, two large suitcases, and two pieces of hand luggage, the weight of our decision was apparent. But it was not just our possessions that accompanied us; our loyal canine companion also joined us on this extraordinary quest. With excitement and a touch of nervousness, we bid farewell to our previous life and embarked on a voyage of self-discovery.
Setting foot on the enchanting island of Crete, we knew deep within our hearts that we had answered a profound calling.
The beauty of this land, with its captivating landscapes and rich history, embraced us warmly. The azure waters, pristine beaches, and charming villages captivated our senses, making us feel truly at home.
With each passing day, we discover hidden gems, from ancient ruins to picturesque tavernas, that added depth to our experience.
In Crete, we found a place where dreams take flight and where our pursuit of happiness could thrive.
