Don't do it if you are relying on finding a job here . There is scarcely enough for the Greek people and they will always get the job first . We live here now but we have a separate income . On the plus side if you could get a job first before coming over then the rents are very low right now if you are willing to rent for a minimum of a year . Cost of living quite high though .

Bad idea. Ver bad.
Have in mind that we have very cheap workforce coming from Philippines, Ukraine, Georgia, etc.

And let's not forget Albanians, who - if they decide not to live from stealing- would work for the minimum of minimum salary ....
