Working In Greece

Greece offers many jobs in it's summer tourist industry and work can be found between May and September in hotels, bars, clubs and restaurants. Most vacancies are in the busier tourist areas and the Greek Islands of Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Kos and Zante.

As unfair as it seems, women are generally more likely to find work in clubs and bars.

Au Pairs usually need some childcare experience but won't always need to be able to speak Greek. Au pairs live with host families, looking after the children and perform basic domestic duties such as cleaning. Wages are often low but food and accommodation is usually included. Athens is a good place to look for this type of work.

Harvests throughout the year include oranges, bananas, potatoes, olives and grapes in a number of places including Toló, Argos, and Crete. Most harvest work can be found by enquiring in person to various farmers. The majority of jobs on farms will not pay very well and working hours can be long.

Work Teaching English is offerd in private language schools throughout Greece, particularly in towns and cities such as Edessa, Larissa and Preveza in mainland Greece.

Voluntary conservation work opportunities can be found in Greece and Islands
