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 Alexandroupoli. They wrote...

"Expats in Alexandroupoli, 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 lead to frustrations when dealing with bureaucratic processes or business transactions. Additionally, the Greek concept of time, which is more relaxed and flexible than in many other cultures, can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Some expats may also struggle with the local diet, which is heavily based on meat and seafood, and may not cater to all dietary preferences or restrictions. Lastly, while Greeks are generally warm and hospitable, it can take time to form deep, personal relationships, which can lead to feelings of isolation or loneliness for some expats," wrote a member who made the move to Alexandroupoli, Greece.
