Athens Cost of Living: Overview
What it costs to live and work remotely from Athens, broken down by category.
Verified Aug 2026 · Spitogatos rental data, Bank of Greece Q1 2026 figures, and current coworking space pricing
Athens costs sit in the middle of the European destinations on this site — more than Tbilisi or Budapest, less than Lisbon's current inflated market — with a coworking and cafe scene concentrated in the Koukaki and Pangrati neighborhoods.
- 1BR apartment, central Athens — €500-850/month depending on neighborhood, renovation level, and proximity to a metro station; Kolonaki and areas with Acropolis views run well above this range
- Coworking, monthly — €100-300/month depending on location and amenities, with several established spaces clustered in Koukaki and Pangrati
- Eating out, per meal — roughly €8-15 for a casual taverna meal, considerably more at restaurants aimed at tourists in the most central areas
