Jobs in Greece for foreigners are growing fast: sun, the Aegean sea and a market that hires international profiles, often in English. Here is an honest guide to which sectors hire, the real salary, life on the ground and how to get started.
Jobs in Greece for foreigners: who is hiring?
Athens and Thessaloniki host more and more international companies handling customer relations for European brands. They look for native speakers comfortable in English, with no specialised degree required.
The accessible sectors
- Multilingual customer service: the biggest employer.
- Technical support: after in-house training.
- Tourism and hospitality: especially in season.
Salary and housing
Like in Portugal, the net salary is around 1,000 to 1,100 euros and housing is often provided, which changes everything for your budget.
| Per month | With housing provided |
|---|---|
| Net salary | 1,000 to 1,100 euros |
| Rent | 0 euros (covered) |
| Left to live on | 700 to 850 euros |
What life is like
The Mediterranean lifestyle is a real plus: great food, the sea nearby and a welcoming international community.
