In an era where remote work has become so common, working from a picturesque location like Greece looks increasingly appealing for digital nomads. We know it very well, being here – in Rhodes – ourselves! However, like any decision, working from Greece comes with its own set of pros and cons. In this guide, we’ll explore both sides of the coin to help you and other digital nomads make an informed choice.
The pros of working from Greece
We will start by listing the advantages first, because it’s so easy to find them and have them clear in mind. Some are a little less obvious though, so pay attention! Here is a summary, then we’ll look into them in detail.
- Inspiring natural scenery
- Rich culture and history
- Relaxed and laidback lifestyle
- Good cost of living
- Pretty good connectivity
- Bonus pro 😉
1. Inspiring natural scenery
Greece, with its extremely diverse landscapes, offers inspiring work environments. From the iconic white-washed buildings of Santorini overlooking the blue sea to the historical charm of Athens, not to mention the Medieval town of Rhodes. If you choose to work from Greece, you can enjoy pristine waters and snowy mountains (yes, you can ski too!) and everything in between. Every corner of the country and its islands provides a unique backdrop that can boost creativity and productivity.
2. Rich culture and history
Working from Greece allows you (and all digital nomads) to immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of history and culture. You can end up exploring ancient ruins during your breaks, and organize proper trips to interesting sites. Some examples? Well, the Acropolis of Athens with its Parthenon for sure, but also the castles scattered everywhere on the islands, the Oracle of Delphi, or ancient theaters and amphitheaters. You will feel like you’ve catapulted into a different time!
3. Relaxed and laidback lifestyle
Who wouldn’t want to embrace the laidback Mediterranean lifestyle? A mix of leisurely lunches, lazy siestas, and a slower pace of life will provide a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the business world. If you work from Greece remotely, you will have the chance to experience the warm hospitality of the local people, who will welcome you as if you were a lifelong friend.
4. Good cost of living
Greece boasts a relatively lower cost of living compared to many Western countries. As a digital nomad, this financial advantage allows you to stretch your budget further while enjoying a high quality of life. The only thing that might be more expensive than expected is rent, especially if you decide to work from Greece during the tourist season – which we advise against, as you will see soon. On the other side, if you rely on us for that, you’ll be surprised: we can provide you with digital nomad friendly accommodation starting from 500€ per month!
5. Pretty good connectivity
In the most recent years, Greece has made significant strides in improving its digital infrastructure. More or less everywhere, you will find reliable internet connectivity and a growing number of coworking spaces – especially in places like Athens and Crete, but also in Rhodes or Thessaloniki – ensuring a smooth remote work experience. Of course, if you choose a small island or a remote village as your destination, you might stumble upon a bit more issues with the internet… but in general, you will be able to find fiber and high-speed solutions.
Bonus: the mouthwatering food!
Ok, maybe not everyone is a foodie. But if you are – like us! – you will 100% fall in love with Greece while working there. The food is tasty, genuine, and full of options for lovers of meat, fish and vegetarians too. From souvlakia (skewers) to spanakopita (spinach pie), passing through all shades of delicacies. Not to mention the absolute passion of Greeks for coffee – so you will surely find plenty of cafés to work from, in Greece.
The cons of working from Greece
Of course, Greece is no paradise – like every other country in the world, even this beautiful place has another side to its coin. Maybe not all of its cons will sound like huge disadvantages to you, or maybe they will. There’s only one way to find out: read on.
- Language barrier
- Seasonal tourism
- Time zone differences
- Bureaucracy for non-EU residents
- Limited networking opportunities
1. Language barrier
While English is widely spoken, especially in cities and tourist areas, language barriers can still pose challenges in certain situations. As a digital nomad, you may encounter difficulties in more remote or non-touristy locations. To overcome this potential con, we suggest you choose International destinations such as Athens or Rhodes – the latter is our favorite because, despite being a small city (surrounded by amazing waters!), it hosts a big community of expats and is way more “English-language” friendly than most places in Greece.
2. Seasonal tourism
The downside of a place like Rhodes is seasonal tourism: the island gets packed during the summer making it expensive and difficult to enjoy. In general, this happens throughout Greece, because its economy heavily relies on tourism, and the industry experiences seasonal fluctuations. During peak tourist seasons, every popular destination becomes crowded, affecting the peaceful work environment digital nomads seek. How to overcome this? Easy: travel off-season! Cheaper prices and quieter places – again, though, don’t choose a tiny island in the middle of nowhere if you don’t want to be completely alone. Rhodes and Crete are definitely better options.
3. Time zone differences
Depending on your home country and the country where your business is based, the time zone difference may pose challenges in coordinating work schedules with clients or team members. If you’re a digital nomad you probably faced this already and you will face it again in the future. You know it’s not a big deal, you only have to be mindful of potential disruptions to communication and collaboration, and prevent them as much as possible. Personally, we are working with clients on GMT +1 timezone and we love having one hour of “advantage”!
4. Bureaucracy for non-EU residents
If you are a citizen of a country outside of the European Union (UK included), and you are planning to work from Greece for a few months, you will need to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa. We all know that dealing with bureaucracy and obtaining necessary permits may present hurdles, but to be honest the Greek visa is pretty easy to obtain as long as you meet all of its requirements. We suggest you deepen the topic through the two links we have just shared with you and, if you still don’t feel comfortable applying on your own, consult a professional who can help you navigate the administrative process to ensure a smooth and legal stay.
5. Limited networking opportunities
While Greece is an excellent place for leisure, professional networking opportunities, especially in certain industries, may still be limited. Digital nomads seeking career growth through networking may find this aspect challenging – unless you choose destinations like Athens or Thessaloniki, where the startup and IT scene are more advanced.
In conclusion, should you work from Greece?
It’s undeniable: working remotely from Greece offers a unique blend of professional and lifestyle advantages, but as for everything else it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons before taking the leap. The breathtaking scenery, cultural richness, and cost of living advantages make Greece an attractive destination for digital nomads. However, potential challenges such as language barriers, seasonal tourism impact, and bureaucratic hurdles should be considered.
You know yourself better than anyone else, so our suggestion is to understand the weight of both sides of the equation for you specifically. That’s the only way to make an informed decision that aligns with your professional and personal goals. As long as you’re prepared for the nuances that come with embracing the digital nomad lifestyle in this Mediterranean paradise, we truly believe that working from Greece can be a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
