Welcome to the forum :bearhug


There are probably as many questions as answers. Many of your answers to these simple questions will help members give you advice

Are you retired or looking to work?
Do you have family that might need schooling?
Do you have a preferred area?
Do you want to rent or buy?

Depends on whether you are retired or are going to be working

I don't want to be a killjoy, but coming here to work will be difficult. The majority of jobs for motor mechanics (say 99%) will be in a Greek-speaking environment. If you speak Greek then you are in with a chance. As to administrators, well there is a significant unemployment here and a number of them will be administrators. Again, speaking Greek, and writing it as well, would be an advantage. Your only opportunities as I see it (if you don't have Greek language skills) would be in British owned business. However a lot of Brits already here will be after them as well. You may find something, but don't expect great wages. If you do come then make sure you bring enough cash to live on for 6 to 12 months while you are looking for something. Sorry.

As to starting a business I will leave that to those on here that have.
