The town is small and has little to offer but is quiet and life is nice if you have income. Life can be extremely cheap here and the food is great. Especially the meat. Eating every day out is possible due to food quality and price. Of course there is junk food around too.
What I like about it is the people. It is easy to make friends and especially in summertime pubs are crowded. Groups and clubs (tennis, basketball, running, etc) are small so you get to know everyone and get invited here and there.
Growing your own garden here is easy because the weather is generally good although in August you should be at some beach and in February it might snow. You breathe and smell each season.
Winter might be a bit boring if you are not active, as in build a tight schedule with many activities, by default.
Now the interesting part is the location. It is 1.5 hours from the closest airport, 45 minutes away from the sea and 1.5 hours away from mountains that you can snowboard.
There is a virgin forest nearby and a river which offers lots of interesting activities. Biking in the city is a bit problematic due to lack of infrastructure but there countless natural mountain biking tracks.
There is a track 1.5 hours away where events happen every now and the and we can go racing.
The closest island which has shores that most will find outstanding, is about 1.5 hours.
Generally speaking, if someone has an income of +2k/month here can live really well. But it's possible to live with 500 $ too.

And everything is about 1.5 hours away.
I like it :-)
Will you share the location? Or do you like it too much to do so?
The location is: Drama 66100, Greece
No need to be ironic though. It is fairly easy to find out.
I found it via your profile before AnimalMuppet asked. Was waiting to see what your reply would be, or whether anyone else would also spot it :)
The area sounds great from your description. Also googled and looked at some photos of places around there.
