I have no expenses concerning food, tel. and accomodation at home. Since the nightlife took over most of the daylife as well, it was quite costly. Thank god for the cheap redzina,ouzo and Vodka!

if you want to learn greek, try to get into contact with local students. being in the country is the best way to learn it. at university and with other exchange students you will mostly english, which also improves your language skills.

nightlife is really expensive, but everyday products are comparable. since greece has lots of islands, you will spend a lot of money on traveling
