Two years ago, Jeffrey Davidson and Walter Zak hadn’t even set foot in Greece. But the couple, who were previously based in Orlando, Florida, are now happily settled in the Peloponnese region and can’t imagine ever leaving.
Now retired, Jeffrey and Walter love being surrounded by Greece’s rich history and what they describe as the “wonderful chaotic energy” of the European country.
They spend their days either relaxing at their home in the coastal town of Akrata, where they’ve lived since April, exploring the local sites, or taking day trips to nearby cities such as the Greek capital Athens.
“We lived in the land of make believe,” Jeffrey, 62, tells CNN Travel of their former home near Walt Disney World and other US theme parks.
“Now we stumble over ruins that are several thousand years old in every direction.”
