Prices in Greece 🇬🇷

In Greece, beer costs $1.14, diesel costs $2.39 and gasoline costs $2.46. That is 11 of the 16 everyday items in the game, priced in US dollars, in EUR, and as roughly how long someone on the average local wage works to buy one.

Greece has eurozone prices on a much lower wage: hourly earnings here are a fraction of those in Austria or Finland, a legacy of the debt crisis and the wage cuts that came with it, so the work-time column is where Greece looks expensive. VAT is 24%, one of the higher rates in the EU, with most food at 13% and some staples at 6%, and a 30% discount on all rates applies on some islands. Fuel excise puts Greek petrol and diesel among the dearer in Europe. The Big Mac row is the euro-area price, as for every eurozone country in the game.

Most local-currency figures are printed as the source published them. The cappuccino, milk, egg, apple and petrol rows are converted from US dollars at recent exchange rates; the healthy-diet row is converted the other way. A dash means the source publishes dollars and nothing else. Work time divides the dollar price by an estimated average hourly wage, the roughest number on this page. See methodology.

How Greece compares

Relative to the rest of the game, Greece is most expensive for vape liquid, where it ranks 2nd out of 26 countries at $7.66, against a global median of $3.22.

It is relatively cheapest for cigarettes at $4.98, which is 31st of 61, only 30 countries in the game are cheaper.

Measured against local earnings rather than dollars, the item that takes the longest to afford here is electricity (100 kWh), at roughly 3.8 hours of the average wage. Dollar prices and work-time prices often rank countries very differently, and that gap is usually the more interesting number.

What the state takes

Where do Pricele's Greece prices come from?
Every row names its source and the date it was collected. They come from The Economist Big Mac Index (euro-area price), Jan 2026, GlobalPetrolPrices.com, 19-Oct-2026, GlobalPetrolPrices.com, March 2026, WHO Global Health Observatory, tobacco tax survey 2024 (most sold brand), WHO Global Health Observatory, alcohol tax survey 2024 (most sold brand), WHO Global Health Observatory, tobacco tax survey 2024 (cheapest disposable device), Cable.co.uk worldwide mobile data pricing, 2023 and World Bank Food Prices for Nutrition, 2025 (converted at the World Bank official exchange rate). A pair only exists where there is a real sourced number: the table is deliberately sparse rather than padded with estimates, so a missing item usually means the item is not sold that way in Greece.
