Eastern Europe’s Next Great Retirement Havens. Travel through a land of crumbling medieval castles…precarious leaning towers…farms tilled by horse-drawn plows and decaying gatehouses…and you’ll find a land that’s lost in time. A land where wolves, brown bear and wild boar lurk in evergreen forests. Where boys still jump into haystacks like we did in the 50s and people treat you with old world respect.

Visit, and find out if this retirement lifestyle is right for you. You can still take a two-hour bus ride from the city to a mountain resort for under $4…and hotels cost as little as $17 a night.

If this lifestyle sounds appealing to you don’t wait because the fairy-tale ending you are searching for may come to an end soon as the prices begin to increase by leaps and bounds in the near future. As more and more people discover Eastern Europe‘s quaint village, parts of this nostalgic old world are going to fast forward into the new world and when they do, so will property values. But right now, if you want a fixer, you can purchase a cottage that you can restore for as little as $12,000.
