Summers are insanely hot. Bureaucracy and inefficiency of getting things done is whole another level compared to northern parts of Europe. You have to know a guy who knows a guy. Greece is 33rd in world corruption index between Saudi Arabia and Malaysia while Germany is 10th. Walkability is not a thing in the cities, especially if they want to take long walks with their baby in stroller.
People are friendly though and nature is beautiful. And some of the food is amazing.
- Getting things done in Germany is equally problematic. Bureaucracy exists there as well.
- There is large part of the public sector that works better than anyone gives them credit for. Same with public schools and healthcare. Greece produces twice the number of scientists compared to the average on OECD countries, you can't do that without an at least "good" education system.
Unfortunately corruption is rampant and the current gov only made things worst on this front.
