Ostensibly those are Greek taxes we&#8217;re talking about, which is something to consider. While a tax break on that order is certainly an enticement, how the overall tax ecosystem stacks up against that of your own country could still be a factor from the prospective digital nomad&#8217;s point of view. Still, the Greek mystique is pretty strong.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\" data-stories-id=\"5328180\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<p>Greece is not alone, of course, in the drive to draw digital nomads. Consider that Newton&#8217;s third law of motion\u2014 for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction\u2014also applies to people in motion. In other words, when due to the pandemic people have largely been stopped in their tracks and the global tourism industry is teetering on collapse its majors\u2014entire governments included\u2014will do cartwheels to recoup lost revenues. A recent headline in Forbes evoking a &#8220;war&#8221; for digital nomads may have veered into hyperbole, but a shift is undeniably afoot.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, low cost airfares and nifty marketing campaigns worked wonders to fill hotel rooms and keep beach bars hopping but when lockdowns and pervasive apprehension pulverize package tourism it&#8217;s time for Plan B.<\/p>\n<p>With digital nomads, the idea is to plug some of the revenue gap left by absentee tourists with a qualitatively more compelling brand of wanderer. Someone who spends more time in a given place tends to spend more money too, and making remote work a prerequisite for getting those tax breaks almost guarantees the nomad is going to spend more money over time than would a typical tourist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnail-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x113_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x149_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x227_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x300_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x340_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 808w\" alt=\"Anthony Grant\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x113_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x149_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x227_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x300_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x340_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_a250f08a-27f6-54e7-aa59-ef4252dbfffe-5340658.jpg 808w\" \/><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Anthony Grant talks us through the advantages of working as a nomad abroad<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Anthony Grant<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>But why Greece?<\/h2>\n<p>But when countries around the world are dreaming up new ways to woo digital nomads, why choose Greece? Is a nice beach enough? Alex Patelis, the chief economic adviser to the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, says that &#8220;Greece is naturally blessed with a temperate climate, lots of sunshine, and a combination of beaches and mountains,&#8221; adding that other advantages are &#8220;a strong currency, the euro, and the safety of the EU institutional framework.&#8221; On the technical side, Patelis notes that 5G networks are already operational in major Greek cities (and they&#8217;re coming to some Greek islands too: read on) and that &#8220;tax incentives are targeting those who relocate to Greece.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some countries such as Finland and Estonia have floated digital nomad visas (or in the case of Barbados, a digital &#8220;welcome stamp&#8221;) which, sometimes for a set fee, allows you to live and work tax-free in the given country for a specified period of time, usually for up to a year. Greece&#8217;s model is a little different. &#8220;Greece is a member of the European Union so any EU citizen is allowed to live and work freely out of Greece,&#8221; Patelis says. &#8220;Other than that, there are traditional routes to obtain work permits and\/or temporary stays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x113_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x149_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x227_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x300_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x340_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 808w\" alt=\"Anthony Grant\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x113_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x149_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x227_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x300_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x340_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x454_cmsv2_3af8c5de-9b18-5321-b5ec-b65dd06394fd-5340658.jpg 808w\" \/><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">A working lunch<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Anthony Grant<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Extended stays in Greece as in most European Union countries can be tricky to arrange if you don&#8217;t hold a European passport because of Schengen regulations. Remote workers with only British or American passports, for example, need to be mindful that without the proper permit or visa to stay in a Schengen area country such as Greece beyond the allotted 90 days in any 180-day period that are normally exempt from visa restrictions (for U.S. passport holders), giving your digital nomadism the imprimatur of officialdom may not be so cut and dry.<\/p>\n<p>Like any country, Greece has its fair share of bureaucracy and navigating it can be daunting for the uninitiated\u2014though\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.enterprisegreece.gov.gr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>the website of Enterprise Greece<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can be a helpful place to start.<\/p>\n<p>But whether you crave a change of scenery after being stuck at home in lockdown for so many months, or simply because you&#8217;d rather look before you leap\u2014a perfectly valid choice\u2014you may find that &#8220;just&#8221; two months of going digital in Greece is already a lot better than a mere two-week holiday. And after all, who says you need a tax break to call yourself a nomad? Once you board that plane you&#8217;re already in the realm of the new, different and maybe a little risky, but also the potentially wonderful and productive. All of that underscores what travel is supposed to be\u2014less about frequent flier points, more about discovery. So in this sense, the administrative aspects are just one part of the picture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x608_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x152_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x200_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x304_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x402_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x456_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x608_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 808w\" alt=\"Anthony Grant\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x608_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/202x152_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 202w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/266x200_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 266w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/404x304_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 404w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/534x402_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 534w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/606x456_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 606w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/05\/34\/06\/58\/808x608_cmsv2_dd55c995-f812-54cb-805c-d331edaaf68d-5340658.jpg 808w\" \/><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Acropolis rainbow<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Anthony Grant<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>In the market for Mykonos?<\/h2>\n<p>Consider this one, though: if you get yourself all the way to Mykonos, do you really want to spend your time working there?

In fact, the City of Athens and the Athens Development and Destination Management Agency recently launched a #BetterInAthens campaign to showcase the Greek capital&#8217;s digital nomad brigade (cue tales of sun-starved Brits who swapped Piccadilly Circus for the Parthenon). As far as European cities go, Athens does have a relatively low cost of living, a scintillating array of cultural attractions both ancient and modern and enviable weather most of the year. And it&#8217;s worth recalling that even though Thessaloniki is Greece&#8217;s northern second city, it&#8217;s still further south than Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line? Just as you would do some basic research before venturing out on holiday, doing your homework before embarking on any digital nomad odyssey is a good idea. The lifestyle switch from stuck-at-home (or stuck in traffic) five days a week to waking up with a shimmering Mediterranean horizon beyond your desk and demitasse of robust Greek coffee by your side\u2014but not too close to the computer, if you please!\u2014is definitely an appealing option but ultimately the only person who can sort out the financial and bureaucratic tangle is you.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve digested that, Greece&#8217;s new digital nomad tax cut does emerge as a clear incentive for road warriors to pull up closer to the Parthenon\u2014or maybe a nice ribbon of beach on an island shaped like a butterfly\u2014power up the laptop and stay a while.<\/p>\n<p>Based in Athens, Anthony Grant also writes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greek-c.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>the Greek Column.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>SOURCE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2021\/02\/01\/greece-is-gold-for-digital-nomads\">https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2021\/02\/01\/greece-is-gold-for-digital-nomads<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"gurlpb\"><a class=\"gurlpb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2021\/02\/01\/greece-is-gold-for-digital-nomads\" style=\"visibility:hidden\">UrlPreviewBox<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece is the perfect spot for the post-pandemic digital nomad &#8211; Copyright Kristin Wilson&hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gurlpb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2021\/02\/01\/greece-is-gold-for-digital-nomads\" style=\"color: #888; display: block; width:80px; opacity: 0.2; font-size:9px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" >UrlPreviewBox<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":156985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48565],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156984"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greeknewsondemand.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
