In Heraklion Crete

Postby Kurt » Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:13 am

Last night my wife and I had a pleasant stroll through a park controlled and managed by Antifa.
It was pretty much like a regular park but it had free food and basic medical services near the playground. Apparently The Golden Dawn (Like Greek Proud Boys) had turned it into the exact opposite until they were driven out.

I had the best snails of my life at this Cretan place called Peskesi. I ordered a Cheese, Filo and grain dish from the Byzantine era that was served with fig jam cooked with wine.

Its unofficial but active. Apparently they kicked out The Golden Dawn, who would gather there to harass Gypsies and queers. Then they cleaned it up and provide food and basic medical care.

There are a few areas like this in town but this park is the only one I have seen.

Only cops I have seen since I got here have been in the port directing traffic.

How easy would it be to live there as an American? Asking for a friend.

250k investment in real estate = legal resident alien.

Good place to live when young. Tons of late parties. Tons of attractive young people not giving a shit about careers.
Also for us oldies it would be good because Greeks fuck like bunnies after menopause since its pretty religeous they have one of those "it doesnt count if you cant have kids anymore" cultures.
Plus good food, sun with just a few right wingers tring to ruin shit.
Oh andlots of mixed race US couples hang there. Greeksare so beyong cool with it they assume you are together.
Moment we arrived in Newark someone tried to separate my wife and i into different lines cuz white dude and black girl couldnt be traveling together.
