Medical/Health insurance living abroad

Hi all,
My wife and I are planning to move to Crete later this year. Does anyone know a good company who do health and medical insurance whilst abroad. Best buys please.

    Hi Ron,

    Medical insurance is a complex product - ex-pat medical insurance even more so. This isn't something that you can just buy online like car or home insurance - not reliably, anyway.

    Find yourself a broker that specialises in international PMI and be prepared to pay a fairly hefty premium for anything but the most basic cover.

    Might it be possible to source a domestic policy once you're settled in Crete?
