How much does it cost to live in Greece alone?
To live in Heraklion on a moderate budget, you'll need around $940/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($310), weekday lunches out ($283), weekend casual meals ($66), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($126), a monthly transit pass ($60), and a few taxi rides ($94). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Greece for two?
2 persons
$1,754
≈ €1,568
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,754 ≈ €1,568/month — a proper apartment ($495), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Greece?
With a child, the total comes to around $2,006 ≈ €1,793/month. Kids eat less, rarely pay for transit, but you'll need more taxi rides and little extras add up fast. School fees not included.
