834.8€ cost of living + 405.00€ rent = 1239.8€
Average net monthly salary 895.03€ and that is the average I bet the median is even lower.
Hmm... Good thing the grandparends are still alive.

Live your myth in Greece everyone!

Its not livable with basic salary and most companies offer basic salary even for skilled workers. Greece is awesome for rich people or tourist but not for the rest of people.
