Where should I setup a bank account in Patras?

We asked expats in Patras what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Patras, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Patras is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's still important to have a solid financial plan in place. The healthcare system in Greece is of a high standard, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. Expats should also be aware that while many Greeks speak English, especially in larger cities and tourist areas, it's beneficial to learn some basic Greek phrases. The climate in Patras is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The city is known for its vibrant culture and history, with many festivals, museums, and archaeological sites. Public transportation in Patras is reliable, but owning a car can be beneficial for exploring the surrounding areas. The process of buying property in Greece is straightforward, but hiring a local lawyer can help navigate the legalities. Finally, Greece is part of the European Union, so expats from EU countries will have an easier time with residency and legal matters, but those from outside the EU should research visa requirements," commented one expat who made the move to Patras, Greece.
