They will not prevent you, but most likely they will require their "protection fee" once you set up your business. Better try to find some people already in this business and get them to talk about this issue. They surely know much more than I do. Read More

I do not have personal experience with such situations. It is a widespread rumor that such shops are victimized by the local mafias, but don't expect to find out much more, as such groups operate under the law of  "Omerta" (silence), and often ... Read More

I don't mean that you cannot open a coffee/bar business with $80.000. Of course, you can. The question is how far you can go after the opening date. Will you get the business and profits that you expect? Read More

Too many questions, Vasso. Difficult to handle in one run! Greece is a semi-western country. You'll find many things European or American, but also many things that would be reminiscent of a third-world country. Let's try to answer your questions:1. ... Read More

If you plan to buy property in Greece you will need three RELIABLE parties: a) a real estate agent, b) An accountant and c) a lawyer, experienced in checking real estate titles. (c) is the most important, part. As an example, I will mention only ... Read More

You've got it right, Concertina. You are correct in a lot of the points you make. Tourism could be a blessing if it doesn't 't corrupt people and natural resources. Greece could have more industry if it had better public management. The ... Read More
