Faro, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
Faro is the capital of Portugal’s Algarve region, home to an international airport and where you’ll most likely arrive if you travel to the Algarve by plane. Despite the flow of tourists it receives, Faro has kept a strong Portuguese identity and boasts a lively center, with a marina, jacaranda trees, and stately buildings.
The place has character and a keen sense of history. It’s not a clone of anywhere else and the smart money, domestic and foreign, is arriving to boost the economy. More real estate investment is coming into Faro itself and the city has a confident, expansive air.

Lisbon, Portugal | Portugal Special Report

Much like an old dame, Lisbon has her share of scars and stories to tell but still boasts her unique beauty…
The capital of Portugal has won over the hearts of many, especially in recent years. But this city is much more than melancholy Fado and social media-worthy scenarios. It is ever changing and ever growing.

Porto, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
When a region and a wine share the same name, you can imagine the passion involved in the product…
The history of this fabulous city—the second-most prominent in Portugal—is closer to that of an ensemble of small villages, its landscape formed by generations of seafaring and trade.
Some of the oldest parts of the city are being totally revamped, so it’s common to see infrastructure works underway as you walk the streets these days…
Although shrouded in resident fog that contrasts with the colorful people that live here, the gloom adds a sense of charm and mystery while simultaneously illuminating the city… it adds personality and creates harmony among the many villages that compose it.
With a broad mix of cultures and styles that can be seen from one street to another, it’s no surprise people have a strong sense of belonging to this special little piece of coastline.
Globally known for its exquisite port wine and surrounded by the enchanting Douro Valley (with a population of roughly 240,000 in the metropolitan area), this is Porto, Portugal.

Praia da Luz, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
Most folks don’t travel much further west than Lagos when they visit the Algarve, which is a shame. Some of the most spectacular beaches and prettiest towns are nestled along the furthest southwest and western Algarve coastlines. One such town is welcoming Praia da Luz, known for its excellent beachfront.
Luz wraps itself around a picturesque sandy bay and was originally a small fishing village. It’s located in the western Algarve, one hour west of Faro airport. Sandwiched between the towns of Lagos (6 kms) and Burgau (5 kms), it’s ideally situated for exploring the region’s best sights.

Tavira, Portugal | Portugal Special Report
Tavira is an ancient town in southeastern Portugal, found where the Atlantic Ocean meets a sun-blessed stretch of coastline peppered with islands and lagoons. It’s a river town, spliced by the River Gilao, with attractive squares full of restaurants, cafés, and social buzz on either side.
Tavira is relatively small, with a population of 28,000 people. Forming part of that number are more and more expats who hail from Sweden, Italy, France, Germany, Britain, and more recently, Canada and the United States. They’re drawn in by Tavira’s offer of easy, peaceful living in what is considered to be the Algarve’s most charming town.

If you’re dreaming of a new life in Europe… even for just a few months of the year…
Or if you ever thought about retiring to Europe but ruled it out as too expensive…
Then you owe it to yourself to keep that dream alive and check out the country we, at Live and Invest Overseas, have chosen as the world’s top retirement haven for eight years running…
Portugal is a country that has something to suit almost every taste and budget…
And I have big news on this understated corner of Europe to share with you today (including your 6-night stay in a top Algarve resort… on my dime)…
But first, let’s make sure we’re both on the same page…
So, when you dream about your new life overseas, does it include:
- Warm, sunny days most of the year? Portugal has over 300 days of sunshine a year, with mild winters. Whether you choose beach or city, you’re guaranteed plenty of days out of doors…
- An affordable lifestyle? For the sophisticated culture and fine dining on offer, Portugal has some of the lowest living costs in Europe. You could live well here—without scrimping on luxuries—from US$2,200 a month. Dinner for two with wine costs as little as US$35. Or pull a good bottle of wine from the supermarket shelf for just US$5 …
- A safe place? The Global Peace Index ranked Portugal the 3rd safest country in the world in 2019. It’s a politically neutral country without civil unrest…
- A healthy way of life? Almost every expat I meet here tells me they live a healthier lifestyle by default. They’re taking their dogs for long walks on the beach… or ditching the car to go about their business on foot. You have an abundance of fresh fish and locally-grown fruit and vegetables to feast on, too…
- Access to world-class beaches? The Algarve has 100 miles of coast… not all known to tourists. Many of its beaches fly the prestigious “Blue Flag”—Europe’s gold standard in cleanliness…
- An English-speaking community? Thanks to its centuries-long history with Britain, English is widely spoken in Portugal—especially in the Algarve and the main cities. You won’t have to spend hours studying Portuguese grammar to get settled in. You’ll also have the support of established expat circles whenever you need them…
- Easy to reach from North America? You can fly direct to Lisbon from the U.S. east coast in as little as six hours… or seven hours from Toronto…
- Easy residency? Residency here is one of the easiest you’ll find in Europe. You can qualify for a passive income residency visa (D7) by showing an income of around US$9,000 a year… or US$13,500 a year for a couple…
- Quality health care? The World Health Organisation ranks Portugal 12th in the world for its standard of healthcare. You can see a local GP for as little as US$6. What’s more, you’ll find English-speaking doctors and consultants in major clinics and hospitals…
- A rich history and culture? Portugal has no shortage of historic cities and towns, including impressive castles, cathedrals, and Roman sites. In Lisbon and Porto, you could have a full social calendar that includes concerts, theatre, art shows, music festivals, and almost any kind of entertainment you might wish for…
- Adventure? From its fishing villages to its natural reserves, historic cities to wild coastal walks, there’s lots of adventure to be had on the ground in Portugal. And, you’re also in an ideal position to explore the rest of Europe by car, rail or air…
- Affordable property? Portugal is emerging as “the California of Europe,” but prices here are a fraction of what you’d pay for a beach property in southern California. Algarve property prices are an average US$2,830 a square meter (an incredible bargain compared with Santa Monica or Venice Beach)…
Really, I’m just scratching the surface here. There’s so much more to discover.
But if your retirement wish-list includes at least three of the above criteria, then I’d say you’re in the right place…
Remember, though, Portugal is a big place… with many great options to choose from…

Paxos, Greece | Overseas Haven Report
Get Started, Greece, Overseas Haven Reports, Retirement & LifestylePaxos, Greece | Overseas Haven Report
At only 10 kms long and about 3 kms wide, Paxos, an island off of Greece’s northwest coast, truly qualifies as tiny… Despite its small size, it boasts a wide selection of high-quality restaurants and bars scattered across the handful of colorful villages. The island’s peaks and valleys are heavily forested with olive trees, Mediterranean cypresses, and evergreens. Exploring on foot or motorbike (or bicycle if you don’t mind the hills) is the best way to discover the many hidden coves of cerulean waters and white-pebble beaches.
The real appeal of Paxos for many expats is the boating lifestyle that it affords… whether it’s island-hopping on a simple motorboat or cruising around on a luxury vessel to see and be seen. Paxos lends itself well to the high-end lifestyle, if that’s what you’re after… But it’s also traditional at its core, with Greek cultural values—family, hospitality, religion, and so on—felt strongly. Discover Paxos in this Overseas Haven Report.

In this Overseas Haven report we explore East Algarve.
Because of the huge increase in tourism in Portugal, standard popular areas are getting crowded and expensive. Hence, the attention on this part of Portugal’s world-famous Algarve region. European expats have been moving here in droves, especially the British, and now an increasing American influx is being felt. This means an active, English-speaking expat community to plug into along with the lower cost of living, great weather, and outdoor activities on offer.
Eastern Algarve is perfect for those with a love of nature and the outdoors. The warm weather and laid-back life near the sea harkens to a slower time spent with friends and family enjoying the sunshine and outdoors. The pace is yours and can be dialed up or down as you like. If you’re ready to savor moments in the sun… discover a healthier lifestyle and food… find a safe place with an emphasis on family and friends… live a first-world life at third-world prices… make a good investment with the benefit of an EU passport… and do it all without a language barrier to start… you’ll find many options await you in eastern Algarve.

Gozo is an extremely picturesque little rock in the middle of the Mediterranean where you can enjoy beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, inexpensive property, and an interesting local culture, all steeped in a rich historical ambiance…
Gozo is a steppingstone between North Africa and Southern Europe… Its first known inhabitants arrived in 5000 B.C., and since then, it’s been invaded by everyone from the Phoenicians to the Arabs, the French to the Brits.
Its landscape is renowned for its cacti-spotted hills and peaceful, desert scenery… In fact, it’s so distinctive, it’s often featured in television and film. If you’ve ever seen “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Game of Thrones,” or “By the Sea,” then you’ve already laid eyes on Gozo’s landscape.
If you’re after the party scene or enjoy spending time at the mall, Gozo isn’t for you. The island is rustic, with more outdoor diversion than indoor. The local culture is vibrant, with year-round activities, and the island is safe.
