"Expat homes and apartments in Greece tend to be modern and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and airy spaces. Many expats choose to live in larger cities such as Athens, where they can enjoy the convenience of city living while still being close to the stunning beaches and islands of the Mediterranean. Expat homes and apartments in Greece often feature balconies or terraces with views of the sea or the city skyline, and many come with modern amenities such as air conditioning, high-speed internet, and satellite TV," remarked another expat in Greece.
