What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Rhodes. They wrote...
"Expats in Rhodes often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the Greek language can be difficult to learn. The slower pace of life, known as 'Greek time', can also be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced lifestyle. The bureaucracy in Greece can be quite complex and frustrating for expats, especially when dealing with legal or administrative matters. Some expats may also struggle with the local customs and traditions, which can be quite different from their own. The Greek concept of personal space can also be a challenge, as Greeks tend to stand closer to each other than people from other cultures might be comfortable with. Lastly, adjusting to the local diet, which is heavily based on seafood and olive oil, can be a challenge for some expats," commented one expat who made the move to Rhodes, Greece.
