They forgot to add “with lots of money”
This person is probably mostly kidding but actually they probably can very easily get citizenship in Greece if both of their parents are from there. This is a completely achievable dream for op.
I’ve literally just moved from Greece to North America to pursue a better education, and I have to say, trading perpetual summer from May to September for the stress of midterms and finals in the grey and depressing north where it rains forever was not an easy choice.
Until you return to the village in Greece and realize how boring, dull, mind-eroding, conservative, eavesdropping everyone is and you move to a city to give your family a better life
Rinse and repeat
The show called My Greek Odyssey is literally a guy doing this in documentary form.
And so, the cycle begins anew for the humble ~~salmon~~ city migrant. Drawn by an instinctual longing for the place of their birth, they return to these familiar grounds to reproduce.

Been there done that. You do NOT want to do this. There is a reason your parents left.

My wife and me were on several greek islands over the last years.
We would love to live there as well.
Turns out we didn’t need to leave our villages, we just needed a drone to visit regularly with nice food and a new game console occasionally
