Greek citizens are increasingly migrating to Iceland to find employment within the tourism sector. Driven by a surge in Icelandic tourism since 2022, workers are filling roles in bars, restaurants, and other infrastructure. During the summer season, the number of Greek workers in Iceland reaches approximately 1,100, which decreases to between 400 and 500 during the winter months. Migrants report seeking the country for economic security and stability. While securing employment can require months of effort, workers have noted high wages, protected labor rights, and respectful working environments. In specific locations, such as the fishing village of Höfn, workers have highlighted the benefits of Icelandic labor standards, including scheduled breaks and provided meals.
