Tips and Advice on Greece from Your Fellow South African Expats

Obviously, expat life in Greece goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Greek mentality and way of life. South Africans in Greece are a part of our community, calling cities such as Thessaloniki, Larissa, Athens, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Athens, for example.

Wondering where to shop for South African delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Greek InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from South Africa.
  • On the Greece Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get bobotie in Athens, etc.
