Which private pension when living abroad?

Options
I have 25 years in a Civil Service pension, which will be frozen until retirement age.
I will be living in Crete from April 2013, but would still like to contribute to a private pension.
Does anyone have any advice as to which pension I should look at?

Thanks
Shirley.

    It wont be frozen. It will be deferred.

    As you wont have any UK income and would be non-resident, you would not be able to contribute to pensions or ISAs in the UK. You would need to look at what Crete offers you.
