Highest Paid Remote Jobs in Greece

After decades of economic crises, Greece has been redeveloping and investing to stimulate growth. According to the OECD, Greece introduced measures to reduce inflation and international debt, investing more in training and support for families, while also focusing on tackling climate change.

The aim has been to improve living standards across the board.

Since 2022 unemployment rate has decreased from 12% to 9%.

The job market in Greece is quite different from the rest of the European Union. Recruiters in Greece are not offering many remote positions and salaries may not be as high as in other European countries.

Advantages of Working in Greece

The main draw that Greece has on international expats and visitors is the variety of beaches and beautiful islands to explore, as well as the favourable climate and the high quality of food and restaurants.

If you are used to a fast-paced lifestyle, you will need to adapt to the local culture and customs, particularly having a long lunch break, mainly to avoid the devastatingly hot temperatures around midday during the summer months. In winter, temperatures are still mild which can be an advantage as you don’t have to spend as much on heating costs.

The cost of living in Greece is lower than many other countries in Europe.

Languages Spoken in Greece

The official language in Greece is Greek (modern Greek), which uses the cyrillic alphabet. The population of Greece is approximately 11 million and Greek is the first language, followed by a few minority languages such as Turkish and Albanian. In terms of foreign languages, half the population can speak English as a second language; then, a smaller percentage of people (10% and below) can speak Italian, German and French as their second language.
