Athens

In Athens, the winter hardly has temperatures below zero (normally in between 10-20 degrees). Expats who work in Athens will find themselves in a city with a rich history dating back thousands of years. It is considered one of the most important cities in the foundation of Western civilization. The Parthenon, which watches over Athens from the Acropolis, still stands as a reminder of this history, and many modern places in the cities make a contrast with the empire of old.

In this city, you will always find things to see and do. It has a myriad of shopping venues, ranging from flea markets to luxurious boutiques. Restaurants are more than places to grab a bite before going to the bar, theatre or cinema.

Working in Greece is not as easy as it used to be. While other markets in the Eurozone seem to be recovering, the country is still dealing with the effects of the global recession and the Greek debt crisis. However, in Athens we can find the biggest industries related with the service sector, which employs the majority of people and contributes the most to the country’s GDP. Athens is where most businesses and government organizations are based: there is a good change that expats moving to Athens will end up working in the area.
