And deserve more attention.
20-25% total rate in, for the large part, a mostly developed and safe European country, it’s a good deal.
It’s also not one of these cases where you either fall into some “super special and temporary” tax regime (to pay 20-25%, or even 30%+, in case like Portugal or Spain or Italy), or you’re faced with 40%+.
It’s flexible to basically all ways in which you might want to structure your incomes.
It’s a place with a lot of charm, incredible history, beautiful landscapes, awesome food and great weather.
It’s far from perfect, obviously:
Athens is the only major city
Athens can be fairly dirty and not so safe in some areas
Island and small town life lacks good quality infra (but still workable for some)
But, it can be very interesting, for those considering:
Mediterranean Big city without the taxes of Naples, Marseille or Barcelona
“Berlin but sunny”
Worth keeping it into considerations.
IMO, it can be a solid option for many.
