Global Triumph for Greece:Adonis Georgiades Showcases the Nation Ranked No.1 for Healthcare & Quality of Life

International acclaim confirms the strategic elevation of Greece’s healthcare system

“When a country is internationally recognized for its performance, it proves that our efforts are paying off,” states Adonis Georgiadis, responding to Greece’s impressive rise to the top of the International Living Global Index.

Greece Crowned the World’s Best Destination to Live

In a remarkable achievement, Greece secured the No.1 position worldwide in the Global Retirement Index—an annual benchmark that guides high-income retirees from Europe and the United States as they choose the best places to live after retirement.

The ranking evaluates:

• Healthcare excellence
• Cost of living
• Food and lifestyle quality
• Climate and natural environment
• Safety and stability
• Social life and community well-being

This year, Greece outperformed countries that traditionally dominate the list, marking a profound shift in global perceptions.

Healthcare Excellence: Greece Scores 89/100

The standout category for Greece is its healthcare system, which earned an impressive 89 out of 100.

The score reflects:

• reliable and accessible care
• strong medical workforce
• internationally trained physicians
• modern infrastructure
• highly competitive pricing

Private healthcare for a couple costs around $288 per month, a fraction of what retirees in Nordic countries would expect to pay.

The report describes Greece’s healthcare as “consistently good, professionally delivered, and cost-efficient.”

A Lifestyle Advantage Few Countries Can Match

The International Living analysis highlights several additional strengths:

• Seaside rental homes: $691–$1,151 per month
• Comfortable monthly living for a couple: under $2,000
• Superior Mediterranean diet
• Mild winters and warm, dry summers
• A social culture that prioritizes connection, wellbeing, and community

These factors position Greece not only as a desirable place to visit—but as one of the best places in the world to live.

Policy Reforms That Changed the Landscape

Greece’s strong performance is widely seen as the result of targeted reforms and systematic improvements in recent years:

• investment in healthcare modernization
• expansion of public and private medical services
• broader access to specialists and advanced care
• a coordinated effort to align Greece with top European standards

The country’s No.1 ranking is viewed as a validation of policy continuity, modernization, and strategic planning.

A Revealing Contrast: Foreign Praise vs. Local Perception

Adonis Georgiadis points out a recurring pattern among Greeks:

“We consistently underestimate our country, yet the world ranks us higher than ever,” he emphasizes—highlighting the gap between domestic self-image and international evaluation.

Greece’s ascent to No.1 worldwide marks a milestone in national progress and a clear signal that strategic reforms—especially in healthcare—are producing visible, measurable results. The global community recognizes Greece as a leader in quality of life, proving that thoughtful policy translates into real-world impact.

Υπάρχει ένας διεθνής Οργανισμός που μετράει τα πλεονεκτήματα και τα μειονεκτήματα κάθε Χώρας εξονυχιστικά και κατατάσσει τις Χώρες βάσει αυτών των δεικτών (υγειονομική περίθαλψη, κόστος ζωής, ποιότητα φαγητού, κοινωνικές σχέσεις κλπ) και έτσι προτείνει στους πλούσιους… pic.twitter.com/7KZpep13RD
