What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Kefalonia. They wrote...
"Expats in Kefalonia often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and important documents are often in Greek. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those used to a faster, more structured lifestyle. The Greek concept of time, known as "Greek time", where punctuality is not always a priority, can be frustrating for some. Additionally, navigating the Greek bureaucracy can be difficult and time-consuming, especially for those who are not familiar with the system. The cultural emphasis on social connections and networking, or "Rousfeti", can also be challenging for expats who are used to a more individualistic culture. Lastly, adapting to the local diet, which is heavily based on seafood and olive oil, can be a challenge for some," commented one expat who made the move to Kefalonia, Greece.
