Pros and Cons of Living in Greece

"Expats in Greece appreciate the warm hospitality of the locals, the vibrant culture, the stunning landscapes, the delicious food, and the relaxed lifestyle. They also enjoy the rich history and the many archaeological sites, as well as the vibrant nightlife and the beautiful beaches. Additionally, expats appreciate the fact that Greece is a safe and welcoming country with a strong sense of community," said one expat in Greece.

"Friends and family are not casual relationships here. They will bend over backward to help and support you in whatever way they can. One just has to learn to ask and accept that help," said a person living in Athens.

"Expats in Greece often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the pace of life in Greece is often slower than what expats are used to, and the bureaucracy can be difficult to navigate. Furthermore, the cultural norms and expectations can be difficult to understand, as they are often quite different from those in other countries," remarked one expat in Greece.

"Realizing that the sense of humor and level of tolerance for foreign ideas of many of the locals is very different from mine," explained one expat living in Athens.
