Sadly in reality that ship has sailed for us but, while there if fit enough have a walk upto the Filerimos Cross, if not bus/taxi. The views are fantastic up there.

A lot of places are better to visit than live, the reality of living in these places can be somewhat different. I know someone living in Cornwall who has to travel to Bristol for cancer treatment, for example.
That said, pure fantasy I am moving to Patagonia. Might even do this for 6 months in the future if I can.
Something a little closer to home, part of our long-term plan is to have a place along the Cote d'Azur in the future. With a little hard work and sacrifice that should hopefully be within reach.

Are we guilty of dreaming?
Ask yourself where you want to die. I had a house in a small village in a beautiful part of South West France. Every elderly ex pat I knew there has come home. (Nothing to do with Brexit) Before that I had an apartment in Spain. As you get older accessing health care, driving in rural areas, especially when you are miles from shops, even missing the uk, all add hit home. That's why I say I am happy in Manchester, shit weather but City, good mates and great beer. That's all I need.

Bureaucracy, healthcare, banking, the language, all present their challenges here. Can imagine as people get older, dealing with all that is just too much of a hassle.

It’s bad enough trying to get to the MRI and live in South Manchester if you are disabled and have no transport or shall I say have lost the ability to be able to drive yourself, getting back is even worse and yes, I know taxi’s are useful if you have the funds to be able to afford the journey there and back so if you live in another part of the country it must be doubly difficult.Currently living in spain myself, and although still in my 20's, i can completely empathise with the bits you said above.
