Well, not a good time/period for someone to want to live in Greece or asking why to do so! Actually, I would reverse the question and ask "5 good reasons for NOT living in Greece"...:-)

Ok, let's get serious now. Greece is the most beautiful country for someone to live, given that: a) is not looking for job in public sector, b) is not used to live on governmental financial supports (unemployment, social health, etc), c) has no high expectations for his family education and health quality level, d) avoid Athens (the capital). On the other hand, it is the proper country to live in if someone:

a) loves beautiful sea, sun, mountains, women...the best nature and scenery that anybody can find anywhere in the world.

b) loves healthy and tasteful food (Mediterranean and Medicinal diet)

c) loves real social networking and life (not in Facebook...)

d) loves to learn everything related to culture, history, philosophy, romanticism, sexuality, etc., not reading it in books, but rather 'living' them, 'smelling' them...

e) loves to enjoy all the above in concert, in one place at the same time!
