Living and work in Athens have its pros and like everything in life contras, lets focus on the pros
Everyone is welcome to work in Athen, especially people who speaks English, and other required native languages, many young people find it easier to plunge into such an adventure, it is a new stage of life. Athens offers many new possibilities. Athens is the main city, but the most beautiful islands in the world ( my opinion, and others as well ) are not far away.
One of our employees, relocated from Austria, a beautiful country. He loves the sea this was his main reason to come. He was never been on an island, he loves his job till now, and goes with his colleagues, and his Greek girlfriend, every 2 weeks to an island, sometimes to Crete, sometimes to Kros. He has been working with us for 7 years now, used all the possibilities the job offers him, so he speaks perfect English, and communicate in Greek as well, has done several trainings, which are a great benefit to him and the company.
So what else you will enjoy:
Weather. It is literally perfect. We get sunny hot days even in winter. Summer could be a bit too hot for some people though, but spring and autumn are amazing.
Cheap public transport. Although there are some problems with buses sometimes, and also a few strikes occasionally, you will find that the metro works great. It really depends on where you live.
The monthly card is 30 and 15 euros respectively. Unemployed people move around for free.
Nightlife.
Athens offers a variety of nightlife options, from luxurious expensive clubs, to sitting in a square and drinking beer. Again it depends on your taste. People go out a lot, even if they don’t have money. They always find a way because in the end we need to enjoy life despite the crisis.
Also, people go out on weekdays, not just weekends.
Food. Mediterranean food is known to be tasty. And it is true. But still you need to know where to eat, because there are a lot of touristic places that have crappy food and high prices.
Ask Greeks and they will tell you where to eat.
History. If you take a walk in the center you will see a great number of ruins all over the place. Even if you are not interested in history, it is still amusing to see how ruins blend with everything else in the city.
Sea. The south part of Athens is built right next to the sea, and there are also beaches in the east side of Attica, just outside of the city. Nevertheless, you can always ride a bus and enjoy the seaside.
Rent prices. Athens is the only European capital where the price of rent increases in the suburbs, making the center the most affordable place to live. For example, a one-bedroom spacious apartment in the center costs usually 200 euros/month.
Greeks speak usually 2–3 languages.
It is hard to find a Greek who doesn’t speak English fluently. Everyone communicate in Englisch no matter who, or where.
