In this 2025 guide, we show you how working in Greece works, which jobs are available specifically for German-speaking applicants and why it’s worth taking the plunge and moving abroad.
Greece offers over 250 days of sunshine a year, beautiful islands and a relaxed mentality. Those who live and work here enjoy a quality of life that is hard to find in northern Europe.
Many international companies have their offices in Athens, Thessaloniki or Crete. There are particularly many job offers for German-speaking candidates here – because large companies are specifically looking for employees who can look after their German customers.
A job abroad looks great on your CV. You work in international teams, gain valuable experience abroad and can work in your native German at the same time.

👉 Important: The working language is German – English is only used in the team or in everyday life in Greece.

Accommodation: Companies often provide furnished apartments or actively help with the search for accommodation.
Language skills: Your job is in German, but you can cope well with English on a day-to-day basis.
Cost of living: Athens is cheaper than major German cities, especially when it comes to food and housing.
Culture: Openness, hospitality and serenity characterize working in Greece.
