These days, we take the content we consume for granted. Seeing what the loading times are for you to be able to upload, makes me appreciate what you do even more. Thank you for the dedication you show to your viewers.

As an expat in Greece, I'm telling you that there are excellent Greek online stores with fantastic prices. Please do your research. As expats, we must support the local market and even more, the local physical shops.

I hope you both continue making videos. I enjoy them and find them informative. I have pets that are everything to me so I have not traveled the past fifteen years. Before that traveled often to many places. I live vicariously this way. Your English is super. You provide a lit of practical advice. I am considering moving and if I do I only have one chance because of pets. Keep up your super efforts. Thank you again.

The internet speed is important these days.
Different providers deliver different speeds, depending on the area you live in and where the antennas are located. If there is a hill or buildings blocking you and many other things influence the speed.
I live in a village on an island. I have wireless mobile data. I changed provider and thus improved the speed x 4. Then I put an extern antenna on the roof and connected it to the router with a SIM card and limitless data. This increased the speed still x 2.
Now I have a download speed between 130 - 20 mbps. Best very early in the morning and when there are no holidays or tourists around. The tourists seem to stream a lot.
The upload speed seems to be much lower then the download speed in Greece. Unproportionally so, most often.

When i was on crete, i had a cosmote mobile sim for internet, worked really well almost everywhere.
Cable/fiber is a different option :)

[yiannispalm]

I would say 5G w unlimited data is a solution but yet it doesn't give you a quality answer to your upload needs.
Have you thought Starlink?
Residential plan is 40eur/mo at "Unlimited high-speed, low-latency internet".
You can always have two non-contract 5G connections for backup and when out of home.
And you don't need a land line.

the african sand is not only in crete even in thessaloniki 1000 km away from crete

You have to choose a beach that is protected from the wind.
On a small island that is possible, on Crete it is not that easy.
The northern Meltemi wind rules most of the summer. Unlucky for an island like Crete, where the most resorts are on the northern, quite straight coast. Not many bays to seek shelter in.

[jimjim]

As a (very) general rule, best and less windy beaches in Crete are in the south...

I have a cosmote mobile plan so with it you have the options to get another 3 sim cards for 5g internet . it costs like 3 euros a month and you have unlimited speed. So try get a 5g router with a sim insert and you will be happy.

[stevefoxg]

Yes I am from Australia and the internet speeds have shocked me. I try to do all my work in the morning, before I go out - in the afternoon, here on Syros in the summer, it slows down to be almost unworkable at times.

[PAGREEKMASTER]

i work few times from greece in a village in thessaloniki and i use a mifi with an unlimited internent for a month from cosmote and although its not as fast as uk i can work without issues, also do video calls and meetings with no problem and thats in a village.

The extreme weather is here in Connecticut, USA too. We have more bugs now especially ticks. More windy. We get bad air from Canadian and western USA wildfires. We also have some areas with flash flooding. We have more thunderstorms. I think my cats would like the weather in Greece better. But my dog probably likes it where I am now.

[CASIUSGELAEI]

The one with the African dust was once in 5 years but now it is 5 times in a year!.. (Southerly winds and it is not a phenomenon of Crete but up to Thessaloniki now)

ps: Cockroaches and mopeds are fast in Greece, not the internet!.. 😁

[horror]

greece has fibre and 5g and if u rly need fast internet in remote areas u can just get starlink for 40euros a month.
dont know if crete has fibre but starlink is covered 100% in greece

[sanekabc]

We do want to hear about your UK time.
