What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Zakynthos. They wrote...

"Expats in Zakynthos often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the Greek language can be difficult to learn. The slower pace of life, known as 'Greek time', can also be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced lifestyle. Additionally, the bureaucracy in Greece can be quite complex and frustrating for expats, especially when dealing with legal or administrative matters. The cultural emphasis on socializing and spending time with family and friends can also be overwhelming for some expats, who may be used to a more individualistic culture. Lastly, adjusting to the local cuisine, which is heavily based on seafood and olive oil, can be a challenge for those with different dietary preferences or restrictions," remarked another expat in Zakynthos, Greece.
