Greece is really a particularly beautiful place. Su Youpeng and Tsai Qin previously filmed a TV series called Love in the Aegean Sea. The couple was filmed in Greece. The most beautiful place in Greece is the seaside. The editor still remembers that the second female lead wrapped the things she bought from the supermarket in paper bags very elegantly, which made me yearn for this small European country. I just don’t know how much it will cost to go there.

Experience of prices in Greece

Based on the unified calculation in RMB, the overall feeling is that prices in Athens, Greece, are not cheaper than those in Beijing. Because when it comes to price levels, it certainly cannot be calculated based on prices in discount villages or discount seasons. Just like this year's discount season, I bought an Adidas T-shirt for 10 euros, but such a price is not available in normal times. Let’s compare the price levels in Athens and Beijing in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Let’s talk about clothes first. A pair of ZARA women’s sandals costs nearly 40 euros. You can probably buy them at this price at the ZARA store in Beijing. Eating simple meals in non-tourist areas of Athens, such as the most common pork or chicken PITA, costs 2.5 euros, which is about 12 RMB. It seems better than eating a bowl of noodles in Beijing, because eating noodles in Beijing may not give you so much meat. . The difference in accommodation is huge. In July last year, we rented a one-bedroom B&B with a very small garden in a non-tourist area and a non-city center. It cost 850 euros a month. The total monthly rent was more than 6,000 yuan. This is compared to Beijing. Much more expensive. Of course, my friends also rent a one-bedroom B&B in a better location than me for more than 30 euros a night, which is equivalent to about 200 RMB. This price can also be rented within the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. In terms of prices, there is no doubt that Beijing is cheaper. In Beijing, a subway ride generally costs 3-6 yuan, and a bus ride costs 2-5 yuan. A 90-minute one-way bus and subway trip in Athens costs 1.4 euros, which is more than 10 yuan. If it is an airport bus, it costs about 25 yuan in Beijing, and 6 euros or about 45 yuan for the Athens airport bus. The taxi ride in Beijing is about 30 to 40 kilometers for 15 kilometers, and about 15 euros and 120 yuan for Athens.

Eating costs about ￥200-300 per meal; if you choose moderate accommodation, it will cost about ￥400-600 per night. However, tickets for scenic spots are much cheaper than in China. Most tickets are around 5 euros, which is more than 40 yuan, which is much more generous than domestic tickets! As for transportation, the subway costs 1.4 euros regardless of distance, and the bus costs 1.6-2.2 euros.

In fact, the price of goods in Greece is not much different from that in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Ten thousand a week is more than enough. The monthly expenditure of an average Greek family is only about 600-800 euros, which when converted into RMB is less than 6,500 RMB.

A liter of freshly squeezed orange juice or milk in the supermarket only costs 1.50 euros, and 0.70 euros can buy a large bag of bread. I have to mention Greek olive oil. The price of a 1-liter barrel of olive oil is only about 4 euros.

If you want to buy cheap and fresh fruits and vegetables, you might as well go to the weekly market. Spinach, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, and even fennel are basically all the ingredients commonly used at home. A bundle of green vegetables only costs 0.50 euros, 1 euro can buy a bag of oranges, a whole cabbage only costs 1.50 euros, and 1.8 euros can buy you a two-pound cauliflower.

The fresh seafood just caught only costs 1-3 euros per kilogram.

Of course, it is not difficult to enjoy a petty bourgeoisie life in Greece. For just 50 euros you can enjoy a four-course dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. A steak meal that sells for 500 yuan in China is only 20 euros here.

The price level in Greece, let’s take a look at what it looks like when converted into RMB

(The following data is based on local prices in Greece in April 2019

01, Food

Market

Generally, when we look at the prices in a place, we go to two places, one is the food market and the other is the sales office and housing agency. After all, food and accommodation. These two things account for the largest portion of our consumption.

Let’s first look at some food prices in Greece. Note that these prices are in local supermarkets.

If you go to the wet market to buy food, the price will be cheaper. Milk only costs 8 yuan per liter, which is cheaper than water. Eggs are not cheap, but the ones sold in supermarkets are basically local eggs with red shells. Because the locals love to eat cheese, seafood, etc. and rarely eat rice, it is also very expensive. The prices of other fruits and vegetables are basically similar to those in China.

Generally speaking, local food and vegetables are very cheap in Europe, and the most important thing is that they are fresh. Because Greece does not import chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and does not add any miscellaneous ingredients, local agricultural products are easy to spoil. For example, tomatoes, which are kept for half a month in China, will definitely spoil if they are not eaten for a day and a half here.

Restaurant

Of course, from time to time we have to go to a restaurant for a change. Under the same circumstances, a cheap restaurant costs 25 yuan per person in Guangzhou, 133 yuan in London, and 75 yuan in Greece. Therefore, in terms of dining out in Greece, the price is between domestic and other European countries. It's definitely not a burden to improve the food occasionally.

02, Clothing

To be honest, buying clothes, pants and shoes in shopping malls in Greece is really expensive. After all, it is an island with almost no factories. In addition to various import fees, buying brands such as LEVIS/ZARA/HM in Greece is even more expensive than buying them in China. So rather than going to shopping malls in Greece, I recommend you to shop online such as Amazon.

03, Transportation

In Greece, the price of a ticket is 10 yuan, which is more expensive than in China. However, in Greece, within 90 minutes after the time printed on the ticket, you can use the ticket to freely transfer to various public transportation modes such as subways, electric trains, buses, and light rails. You can basically get to where you want to go nearby in an hour and a half. From this point of view it is quite convenient.

Gas prices are much cheaper than in China, so driving costs are also very low. When driving in Greece, there are no cameras in the city to check for traffic violations. Cars generally drive more freely, and there are no traffic police checking driver's licenses for drunk driving. Everything depends on consciousness.

04, Living

Living in Greece costs a lot of money. Whether it is renting or buying a house, the price is very cheap.

Buy a house

An apartment in the city center of an ordinary Greek city costs less than 10,000 yuan per square meter. This price is also the price of second-tier cities in China.

However, in the high-price capital of Athens, this price still has to double. An apartment in the center of Athens costs approximately 20,000 square meters. Of course, this is still dwarfed by the housing prices in Beijing.

Renting

In terms of renting, the rent for a single apartment in the city center of an ordinary Greek city is less than 2,000 yuan, and in a slightly more remote area it is only around 1,700 yuan. Such low prices are basically impossible to find in other European countries.

Finally, we summarize these data and we can conclude that:

Price in Greece is much lower than that in most European countries. Suitable for immigration and traveling~
