Cost of Living Comparison (Greece vs. U.K. )
Although, we do not have any specific data on this issue, I attach someinformation available on the internet which for an example compares the cost of living in Greece to that of the UK. In general, we can state that costs are significantly lower in the regions outside of Athens, and particularly rural Central Greece, as with many other countries the rural economy is operating at different levels than that of the capital,Athens. Kindly, consult the information retrieved from www.numbeo.com
For major cities in those countries you could get probably more relevant data by specifying cities itself. |
