Hi,

My daughter has recently moved to Afandou to live with her Greek boyfriend and she thought it would be relatively easy to get a job in a hotel or something - but alas it has proved quite difficult as nearly every where wanted her to speak Greek (she is learning) plus the hours are long and usually 7 days a week (not that she minds that really) but not every employer wants to pay 'the insurance' (a must if you plan to live there) as sadly other foreign summer workers will work for next to nothing and no insurance. Rent is quite cheap she has found - her 2 bed flat is about 280 euro - and a hotel job would be about 600 - 800 euro per month. Petrol is quite expensive though. I think you have to register for a 'green card' to enable you to work here - I will ask my daughter more if you like. Beautiful place to live but I think you need money behind you to start with.
