Hi Augie,
thanks for all you support and help. We finally sold our house and are moving to thassos at the beginning of September.
A new start!

Congratulations, Kerry! Weāll need to meet up when you get here!
Give me a nudge in the meantime, if you have any questions or need local knowledge or advice. 
Thanksā¦ I canāt believe that we have done it.
It would be great to meet up. Where do you live?
We have some ideas for work, but we are starting with a āblank pageā and direction and input would be priceless.
I guess our first few months will be finding our feetā¦but we want to check a few ideas we have for work in the summer.
one step at a timeā¦
Thatās very exciting, Kerry!
I live in Limenas. 
Why donāt you come for a few days this Summer and get a feel for what itās like during the lively time of year? You could see the situation with your own eyes, which can in turn inspire you to think about what you could do and enjoy doing for work during the summer.
If you decide to come, take advantage of a Last Minute Deal!

PS. Always book directly with your host to avoid spending more money on the same exact room or apartment, which will happen if you book through a site like Booking.com
Hi Augie,
Thatās good to hear that you live in LImenas as that is where we will be staying when we arrive at the beginning of September.
we would really like to meet up with youā¦
so until then thanks again for all your help and advice.
Kerry
Hi Augie, we have arrived and are in LIMENAS. Can we meet up with you?
Thanks..
Hi Kerry!
Welcome to Thassos!
Up for a coffee this week?
Email or private message me a day/time that suits you. Thanks!
Hi Kerry
Can I ask how you found your rental property in Thassos town. Myself and my partner are in same position at the moment. We are selling our house in the U.K and looking for a long term rental for 2018 but are finding it difficult as thereās hardly anything advertised. Weād ideally like to be in the Potamias, Golden Beach, Panagia, Limenas areas. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Peter
Saxkerry, how have you got on with your first Thassos winter? I would LOVE to move there but wonāt be for a good number of years yet (unless I can win the lotto lol ) x
He Leanne,
Sorry for taking so long to respondā¦ we have been very busy since moving here in September.
Funny that everyone said āoh you havenāt spent your first winter in Thassos yetā and we though OMG what have we done, moving here just before the winter. We found it pretty much like a winter anywhere elseā¦ because it is cold people stay at home in the warmā¦ a lot of places obviously are closed down in the winter, but in Limenas there are still places open. We found it OK and enjoyed the time in our new home.
We had been dreaming of moving here for quite a few years, but there always seemed to be a reason not to. Our children and grandchildren live in Israel (I am originally from the UK, but moved to live in Israel where I met my husband)ā¦ we also both had jobs, a house and mortgage. But we decided that if we didnāt take the plunge then we probably would never do it.. So we sold our house and quit our jobs and took one way flights to Thassos with 4 suitcasesā¦
Everyone has been so helpful and supportive and we have bought a small garden apartment in Limenas.
We are not as stressed out as we were in Israel and we have time to do the things we likeā¦ We have bicycles now instead of cars and donāt set our alarm clocks to get up at a dreaded 6.00 am to start the daily trek in the traffic jams to get to work.
We are slowly learning the Greek language and I will feel so much better when I can actually speak it freely.
If there is anything you want to ask meā¦ feel free.
Donāt give up on your dreams 
Kerry

Hi!
It sounds perfect.. thereās not a chance just yet for us, kids still at school /college and financially but we all need a dream to work toward.
Few years. down there line and I can seriously see us packing up and sitting in a restaurant having an ouzo with you in October enjoying the peace
Hi.. you sound at the place that we were.. our kids had not yet found their way in life and only when they left home and found their own way we felt that it was the right time.
You will know when the time is right.
If you are here for a holiday and want to meet up for a drink.. feel free to let me know.
