Can you give a little more info on your age, educational background and whether you are totally broke? If you are uneducated and totally broke, depending on your age and physique you may be able to find jobs easily on islands in the summer time as a barwoman or club promoter (giving out flyers and standing in front of tourist clubs). Plenty of cleaning jobs in the islands too during summertime, but mind you there is huge competition with locals, Albanians, Bulgarians etc etc. If you are educated then Greece has all the jobs you would expect to find everywhere else too, but there is a catch. You need to speak Greek, and I have the feeling you dont? Greece is one of the most expensive countries of EU. I do not want to put you off but you can't just arrive with no money and high hopes. To rent a place you will need to provide at least 2 months deposit as well as references. Depending on how much you can afford and where you want to stay (city) there is an option for staying in a flat, sharing a flat or renting a house. New built appartments are the most sought after and pretty expensive to rent. Average rent in Athens for a studio is 400 euro. In other cities it is around 200. My guess is you would need at least 800 euro a month just to get by ( basic accomodation, food and bills ). You can always go there in the summer and give it a try for a few months. Crete island is very big and job hunters are always welcome.

Prices are quite high at the moment, but if you decide to live in Greece, good luck! Greece is a wonderful country, in terms of nature and people, but if you want to stay somewhere in Greece, don't choose a house near the centre, as that is the area with the highest crime rate, pollution and noise. Staying in an area that hasn't been developed yet is a good idea as those houses will have a greater value in the future. An island would also be nice, although some islands have purposely elevated prices in order to have a greater income from tourism. I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly sure of the prices or jobs available. Hope I helped, and you should come! :P

Ask in your embassy first for approval !!! Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.
