Greece's DNV is on par with Spain's and has a meaningful tax incentive for newly-arrived residents — 50% income exclusion for seven years if you weren't tax-resident the prior seven. Athens is the year-round base; the islands are summer/shoulder territory only (winters are quiet to the point of nothing being open). The 60-day-rule for non-residents is one of the cleanest in Europe.
