Thinking to repatriate after 13 years
Hello everyone
I am 40 years old, Greek (not from Athens) being living in London for almost 14 years now and thinking to repatriate because I got a job offer in Athens for close 100k. The company is solid and the role is challenging.
I have a wife who is a foreigner (not European) and we have a beautiful 2 years old boy.
Even though the job opportunity is great for Greek standards I am still worried about the quality of life in Athens vs London.
Is Athens better for my family? Is it a family friendly city? Is it safe? Is commuting better? We dont drive in London. No need. My life loves parks and green spaces. I doubt Athens have any.
Will we be able to survive just with my salary considering that my wife doesn't speak the language and probably wont find a job? Or at least will take some time. (She is a University lecturer and PhD holder)
Can please someone share their experience of moving their families in Athens after living abroad for more than a decade?
