Pros and Cons of Living in Greece (Why I Left)

Welcome to another video! Today, I will be talking about the pros and cons of living in Greece. After the downfall of the Greek economy, the so-called "Greek government debt crisis", is the situation today any better, the same, or even worse? As a Greek myself who has traveled all over the world and resided in different cities, it's now quite evident to me about what the pros & cons of living in Greece are. When I used to live there, I didn't have a clear picture of how things are in the world so I can compare. I unravel a lot of those insights in this video. Greece is one of the most stunning places on Earth, it's on most people's bucket list to visit. From the beautiful and world-famous islands like Mykonos, Zakynthos, and Santorini, to the towering mountains, and ancient cities that are a mix of modern and traditional, like Athens and Thessaloniki. Are all of these things that make Greece so attractive to tourists enough for people that want to become Greek residents and citizens? If you’re wondering what I’ll be covering in the video, here is a list of questions that I answer: What it's like to live in Greece? What are the best and worst things about living in Greece? What is the cost of living in Greece? What are the taxes in Greece like? How easy is it to get the Greek citizenship? Are you a Greek resident or lived in Greece before? What do you think are the positives and negatives of living in Greece? Did I cover everything in the video? I strongly doubt it I have, so comment down below and let me know what I've missed!
