Cost of Living in Greece
Greece generally offers lower living costs than many Western European countries while providing high quality of life, Mediterranean climate and excellent food culture. Costs vary significantly between Athens, the islands and smaller cities. Housing is the largest expense, followed by food, transportation and utilities. Overall, many expats find Greece more affordable than their home countries while enjoying a high standard of living.
In Athens, a comfortable apartment in a good area can range from €800-1,500/month depending on size and location. Islands and smaller cities are generally cheaper. Groceries, dining out, public transport and healthcare are relatively affordable compared to Northern Europe. Utility costs (especially electricity and heating in winter) should be budgeted carefully.
