đź‘‹ Hey there expats,

Did you know? A new beach app helps you discover beaches in Greece

MyCoast app lets you see all the beaches in Greece and check if beach bars and sun-bed owners are following the rules for their coastal concessions — and you can even report violations directly through the app.

đź“Ť But there’s a catch:

  • Not all beaches are listed yet.

  • To submit a complaint or view the concession contract, you must be within 10 km of that beach — so if you spot something illegal, file the report on the spot, or you’ll miss your chance.

  • And keep in mind, the app is currently available only in Greek.

Why Your Business Needs Professional Tax Support — Now More Than Ever

Did you know Greece’s Income Tax Code has been amended by 120 other laws — and counting? For small and medium-sized businesses, staying compliant isn’t just confusing — it’s costly.

👉 Greece’s 99.9% of SMEs face over 40 different levies tied to tax, social security, labor, and licensing. And despite promises of “digital transformation,” platforms like myDATA have actually increased compliance complexity.

In fact, a European Commission study shows that for every €1 a large company spends to comply with new rules, a small business could spend up to €10 per employee. That’s time and money you could be investing back into your business — not wasting on frustrating bureaucracy.

The solution? Get a trusted, specialized tax partner on your side.

At My Greek Expat Journey, our experts stay ahead of every amendment, so you don’t have to. From digital filings to navigating Greece’s ever-changing tax maze, we help you reduce costly mistakes — and reclaim your peace of mind.
