      if you are still in Athens, than there is a market that is open every tuesday, you can also find something cheap there, or just tell seller you dont want to pay the price, often if they see or think you are leaving they will offer you a discount ;) but you can only do it at the big market in the middle of Athens :)

    i moved to greece for 4 month ago. it is super expensive here, with a normal job you will use 80% of your money on rent, being able to eat "like a greek" as people say is just not possible with those low saleries here. i live in a cheap room 250 euro and around 50 euro in utily. but still i struggle every month to have food on the table for the whole month. prices are only going up but the salaeries are going down. there is so many who end up being homeless because they cant afford a place to live. i feel so bad for greeks that gets the loweste amount in salary and are impressed on how the even can survive. is greek cheap, if you just to for a visit, yeah sure then it is cheap, street food is 2-4 euros. but if you are planing on living here than those 2 euros is better spend buying some flour and make flat bread. i thought like so many others, greece would be paradise, but i was so wrong, i used all my savings the first month to rent airbnb before i even found a room to live in. the hotels are so expensive, i paid 65euros/day to live in a 1 star hotel where the shower was broken, you couldnt sleep because there was bars right outside that was playing high music all night ever day. even the hotel gave us those ear plugs, but the bass just went though anyway. no food on the hotel and barely clean water. hookers right on the other side of the hotel. i searched for some better hotels but between 90 - 120 euros/day is just to expensive when you get paid 1200 euros before tax. the streets in the summer smell so awefull of piss so you almost need to have a mask on. there is drug users all over Athens, they shoot up in plain seight and just throw their used needles on the floor. The police here or should i say the the people who should be police do not do anything, they are so poorly paid so they do not want to risk their lives to do anything. i see people smoke crack just in front of the police every day. beggers all over the place. it is so sad. the only good thing i can think about is the beach at summer time.

      I visited Athens once, once too many. Sound's like you need to th8nk about moving somewhere else. Their economy has been going down for nearly 20 years. All the best and thanks for taking the time to write ✍️

      I am from denmark where everything is expensive. But compared to greece it is nothing. I lost my job and my apartment. But no help here in greece if you are not born here. So i am walking around Athens while i also sent job applications. So you really need a good money buffer before moving here, Because you will stand all alone. All Companys promiss you almost gold. But that stops the day you come to the country

    Wow, i don't know why they are so expensive, sometimes i go to that brand of super market but i buy only what's in discount. Also the veggies are so expensive there, i usually buy my vegetables from local supermarket in my town and the prices are half of what you showed us in the video

      I think it is because this is right next to a major tourist area in Chania, expensive rent, probably important ingredients most items from the mainland etc

    Looking at those prices I think I can safely say yes, Greece is expensive. €2.38 for one tin of beans? 😮 11.5 kronor for Heinz beans here in Sweden, around 90p /€1.01 , or 6.5 kronor / 51p / €0.57 for supermarket own brand ones

    Food in the United States is generally much more expensive than Europe.

    • @StevenHeapRecipes
      @StevenHeapRecipes  Год назад +1

      Yes I see, in the past the US used to be much cheaper than the UK but not any more. I visited in 91, 97 and 2000 when it was almost $2 to the £. Used to go to Food4Less in Atascadero CA and it was once much cheaper than the UK.

    I went to Greece in 1998 under the Drachma and it was much cheaper than the UK. Went to the same resort in 2001 under the Euro and it eas double the price and more expensive than the UK for many things.

    • @Adiadni

      indeed... with Drachma In many Greek families only the Dad worked and still the family was getting by just fine. With Euro both parents have to work and that is just to survive not to save in most cases.
