It is important to understand the healthcare system in Greece, as expats may need to purchase private health insurance. 3. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the tax system in Greece, as there are different rules for foreign residents. 4. It is important to learn some basic Greek before retiring in Greece, as it will make everyday life much easier. 5.
