Greece retirement costs estimated at 2,000-2,500 euros monthly

A retired couple requires an estimated monthly budget of 2,000 to 2,500 euros to live comfortably in Greece. This amount exceeds the average monthly income of 1,200 euros reported for a family of retirees.

In Greece, rental prices for coastal properties or homes near the sea typically range from 500 to 1,000 euros per month, depending on the size and specific location. These costs are comparable to rental markets in Bucharest or Cluj. Daily living expenses in Greece are estimated to be 30% to 40% lower than in Western Europe.

Additional costs for a couple include private medical services, which average approximately 260 euros per month. Senior citizens in Greece also benefit from local discounts on regional trains and ferries.
