11 Hippest Places to Retire in The World

6) Santorini, Greece

There may not be a more beautiful place on earth than Santorini. This Greek island is a peaceful paradise stacked with gorgeous white-washed houses lining the most stunning blue sea. The scenery is literally picture-perfect, and the views are something you’ll likely never tire of. The welcoming Mediterranean culture will make you feel right at home, and settling into a slower paced way of life is something you’ll adjust to happily. Santorini is a unique balance of island life, European class, and Mediterranean style. Even though Greece is part of the European Union, it’s much more reasonably priced than almost all the other EU members. This means your dollar account will stretch further while you enjoy all the perks of a Greek lifestyle. Bonus: Traveling around the area is convenient with the inter-island ferries. The same ferries run to the mainland, too!
