CONCLUSION
In conclusion the cost of living in Greece compared to Canada is somewhat cheaper. However our
healthcare does not include having to work in order to receive it. As for the transportation costs
Greece once again is cheaper than Canada.

So would I live in Greece? Absolutely! Why would I need to have a vehicle, everything in the capital
city Athens is either walking or biking distance. Scooters are often used as way of transportation as
well!
