Jeffrey Davidson, 62, and Walter Zak, 57, retired early from Florida and moved to Akrata, Greece, after buying a €400,000 house sight unseen. The couple sold their townhome and Jeffrey's Corvette, scaling down to 10 suitcases. They qualified for Greece's Golden Visa through real estate investment. Initially vacationers in Greece in 2024, they spent a year researching before relocating in April. Challenges include learning Greek, adapting to late dinners and the afternoon mesimeri break. The couple chose a town with few foreigners to immerse in local culture.
