Focusing on the living conditions of investment immigration in Greece is closely related to the lifestyle in Greece. The prices of mobile phones in Greece are similar to those in China, but they are charged on a one-way basis; if calling from mainland China to Greece, the recipient does not incur charges. Using a 10 euro IP phone card from Greece to call mainland China can allow for approximately 30-50 minutes of conversation (depending on the time period), while a regular phone card costs 0.5 euros per minute for calls to mainland China. Most locals in Athens have their own cars, while Chinese residents generally use public buses, subways, and taxis, which are relatively inexpensive. Additionally, public buses and subways offer seasonal, monthly, and weekly passes, which are more economical. In general, the monthly income for workers in Greece ranges from 500 to 1500 euros. If living requirements are not high, monthly expenses are approximately 300 euros per person. For a family of three living in Greece, a budget of 500-600 euros per month is sufficient for living expenses. Of course, this figure is also for a middle-income lifestyle. Consumption is endless, and there are many wealthy high consumers in Greece.
In the European Union, the cost of daily living in Greece is also considered relatively low. Among food items in Greece, milk, bread, eggs, and chocolate are quite affordable, roughly equivalent to prices in Beijing, generally ranging from 0.5 to 1 euro. Beef, fruits, vegetables, and seafood are relatively more expensive. For dining out: Chinese cuisine is the cheapest, with a typical meal of two dishes and a soup (one meat and one vegetable) costing between 10 to 20 euros; Greek cuisine follows, with a plate of seafood pasta, a vegetable salad, an aperitif, and some bread costing between 15 to 25 euros; Italian meals are similarly priced to Greek meals; the most expensive is French cuisine, generally costing between 50 to 100 euros per person; fast food is also relatively inexpensive, with meals available for around 5 euros. Tap water in Greece is drinkable. In supermarkets, a 600 ml bottle of mineral water is about 1 euro, a 300 ml bottle of beer is around 1 euro, and a 600 ml beverage costs between 1.2 to 3 euros. Cigarettes generally cost between 1 to 2.5 euros per pack (Marlboro is 2.5 euros). In Greece, if you do not have high demands and cook at home (three meals), the average cost per person per day is around 6 euros. If working in Greece, employers typically provide two meals, so preparing one meal yourself would only cost 2-4 euros. Daily necessities in Greece, such as low-value consumables (e.g., soap, shampoo), are relatively inexpensive, while bedding is more expensive, and clothing is affordable. Electrical products tend to be pricier (e.g., rice cookers). The voltage in Greece is 220V, and the power socket is 50Hz, type C2.
