Thank you for your great comment @upheaver

Even for one product, hundreds of variables are involved.

That's actually very true. In other words: you build infrastructure for your business, right?

I'm not from Greece myself, but I live here for quite some time now, currently in Crete where our first product is from

How is it in Greece during winter? Is there anything to do? And would you mind telling me what are average costs of living?

I was thinking about running away from Poland to Greece or south of Spain during next winter.

Sort:  

Yes, correct. Cost of living in Greece is similar to Poland, but quality of life (due to climate, nature and fresh food) is much higher. I'm from Lithuania myself :)

It's great to get to know you closer @upheaver :)

How did it happen that you moved to Greece? Have you been living in Crete for long already?

Simple - weather is much nicer here :) Ten years and a bit in total in Greece, most of it in Athens. Crete just this year.

Thank you @upheaver

And how developed is Crete? Do they have any shopping malls, cinema? Any entertainment except of tourist drinking areas? Would you mind sharing with me?

I'm dying to know what you know about Greece during winter :)

Yours
Piotr

You are kidding, right?

Dear @upheaver

Im not sure what I'm kidding about. I've been living in south east asia for past 11 years and I don't know much about Crete. Actually I know only that it supposed to be very touristic. So I would appreciate if you could share with me your experience and knowledge.

Yours
Piotr

"Do they have cinemas there" sounds like one of those bad Hollywood movies where Greeks are riding donkeys while dressed in rags. This is a modern European society, so it's closer to what you would find in other European cities than let's say Asia.

The only touristic place in Crete is Hersonisos / Malia, where UK's youth spend their drunk summers, the rest of the island is gorgeous and your experiences can range from complete wilderness in south-east side of the island to a modern metropolis in Heraklion.
