Hi there!! Im an EU citizen and I want to work in Greece starting next summer. I am a qualified English teacher (EFL/ESL) but is that the only thing I can do in Greece? What are some other creative options a native English speaker can do there? I mean in the mainland, not on the islands. Maybe in some small city or large town...And I have no knowledge of the Greek language, yeah I know its a disadvantage but anyways... =( Thanx =)

That or working as a waitress in a bar. The language shortage is a main disadvantage. Besides if you do not have a friend of a friend, finding a job is a problem even for locals.

You have a great advantage by having EFL/ESL so use that to get your foot in the door! It's a good way to start life in Greece as schools normally supply an apartment with this job for foreigners. From this move you can see what other options you have - however you have the best option right there - it's a very respected job, and therefore you will fit and be accepted totally into the community. Great that you've chosen the mainland, I prefer Epirus to everywhere else in Greece .... although Athens was great fun as a young single girl ...... in smaller towns everyone knows everyone elses business. Good luck Have a look at this site http://www.anglo-hellenic.com/
