Chryso, a charming village nestled in the Agrafa mountains in the heart of Evrytania, is a quiet spot surrounded by fir trees and springs, with just a few residents.

Few Greeks know these villages well, but American retirees have “discovered” them. In fact, major U.S. retirement advisory firms recommend these and many other picturesque Greek villages, alongside better-known spots like Kyriaki in Viotia, Gkoura in Corinthia, Steni in Evia, and several villages in Pelion, as ideal retirement destinations.
