What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Ioannina often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the Greek language can be difficult to learn. The pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is typically slower than what many expats are used to, which can be frustrating when trying to get things done. Additionally, the Greek concept of time, which is more relaxed and less punctual than in many other cultures, can be difficult to adjust to. Some expats may also struggle with the local cuisine, which is heavily based on meat and seafood, and may not cater to all dietary preferences or restrictions. Lastly, navigating the Greek bureaucracy can be a challenge, as it can be complex and time-consuming," remarked another expat who made the move to Ioannina, Greece.
