What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Mykonos. They wrote...

"Expats in Mykonos 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 laid-back lifestyle and slower pace of life, while appealing to some, can also be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced, structured environment. The island's heavy reliance on tourism can also be a challenge, as it leads to crowded streets and higher prices during the peak season. Additionally, the local customs and traditions, while rich and fascinating, may be unfamiliar and difficult to navigate for newcomers. Lastly, the Greek concept of time, known as "Greek time", where punctuality is not always a priority, can be frustrating for expats used to strict schedules," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mykonos, Greece.
