Living and Investing in Greece: A legal, economic and social guide for foreigners

Greece - the land of islands, light and long history - has been attracting more and more people for years who not only want to holiday here, but also want to live here. However, anyone who wants to live or invest in Greece on a permanent basis is quickly confronted with a multitude of questions: How does buying property work for foreigners? What legal framework applies to EU and non-EU citizens? Which regions offer stable prices and an attractive quality of life? And what tax, labour law and practical considerations need to be taken into account when moving to southern Europe? This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and well-founded overview of all the relevant aspects of moving to Greece - from the legal basics and economic conditions to the real living conditions. It not only highlights opportunities for buying and renting property, but also covers topics such as work permits, right of residence, healthcare, education and everyday living costs. An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand how Greece really works - beyond tourist clichés and with a view to the opportunities and challenges of a new life in the Mediterranean.
