Hello Patrique thank you for the information. I just left Athens about a week and a half ago I had a wonderful time. I'm older and have found many objects. I had about four hours until I could get into the Acropolis I found myself to the right of the ticket center. First I found a interesting top of a funerary vase out of primitive clay. It has a bowl on the top maby for incense. I gave it to the Museum of the Acropolis. Best place to find something else is the last place you found something. Second time I noticed a small white corner exposed maby 10 millimeters tall I moved it and later pulled it out and it was a marble piece with ME carved on it part of the beginning of a name.I gave it to the Athens Museum and Thay we're very happy. I only find to give to Museums. I have my own jewelry, ha. Thanks again your inspiring an older man to move to Athens. I'm already Missing Greece from LA. If you have a email address I can send you my small two finds, photos. God Bless.
i have heard it can be really hard for a foreign to rent an apartment, is that right ? i got a job offer in Athens. And is there any long stay hotels in Athens that dosn't cost your whole wage ? after i arrive i got 30 days to find a place by myself, while i am working fulltime, that could scare me a little bit.
@@patriquemercier sure, i am going to be a Danish customer service expert. for western union. they offered me a 1300euro salary, and i think that is pretty good and enough to live a pretty good life for a single person.
@@patriquemercier yup i know it can be stressfull, but i kinda like jobs like that :) i am just afriad, i will stand after 30 days and don't have any place to stay.
with my family we decided after many visited to athens to move there mostly thise year to invist in a small restaurant do you think that is a good idea to do in athens we are living in brussel more than 20 years ago and really we are very tired here and aso we falt in love with ahens💓💓
thank you to give us this information. I would like to know if a single person can afford by himself one apartment, pay grocery and also pay the university (around 120euros/month) with 885 euros salary? (after taxation of course). I know it will be almost crossing de limit, but it is posible?
@@patriquemercierIt was good to hear from you about Spain, because I live in Barcelona right now, and bcn is very expensive compare to others cities in Spain. Here the most expensive item is the rent. One room in barcelona can cost around 400 - 550 euros. One small apartment can cost a minimum of 750 without the others expenses (energy, water etc). Out of bcn it will be cheaper of course. Same for grocery. I spend 200 euros per month. But on other hand the minimum wage here is 1.350 after tax. They offered me this job in Athens, and I really don’t know if is a good offer change everything I have here to start a new life in Athens. But if I can pay one apartment for me, plus university and grocery, it is a very attractive offer job.
Great video. I have a job offer for Portuguese content moderation salary between 1050-1200 euros in Athens. Would I expect to pay 22% income tax as per Google?
@@patriquemercier Current official minimum wage is 910 gross/ 760 net . Average net in Athens is around 1000-1100 according to my sources. It's also worth noting that in the private sector all employees receive 14 salaries per year ( Christmas "present " 1 full net salary, Easter "present" half net salary, Holiday bonus during august half a salary.This is no longer the case for employees working in the public sector where they receive the usual 12 salaries .

so in general, how much money do you need to live comfortably in a decent apartment would you reccomend?
you mean for rent or all together?
@@patriquemercier Overall everything included but with a decent apartment, nothing too fancy but not a run down apartment.
thank you it was very useful information
Glad it was helpful!

As a student, I am considering going to Ioannina with Erasmus. Do you have an estimate of the monthly cost?
Hi there, Ioannina is not very expensive because it is in the middle of nowhere... seriously
750 gross is not even the minimum wage, not the average.
What is according to you the minimum wage and average?
