  • Is Greece Expensive? Have a look at Athens supermarket prices at Alfa-Beta Vassilopoulos (AB Supermarket) in the Monastiraki area of Athens. If you are thinking of living in Greece and want to know how bad inflation is on food prices, check out the prices in this AB Supermarket to compare to your local food prices. Or if you are staying in the Monastiraki area and want to know how much food costs before you visit, check out this video.
    I take a tour of the supermarket and compare food costs in Greece to other countries. Do you think Greece is expensive, cheap, or average?

    AB Vasilópoulos is very good in quality, but rather expensive. You can find quality and gourmet products. Sklavenítis is the supermarket most Greeks go to. But family people and pensioners mostly go to laikí (ağorá), which is a street vegetable, fish and clothes market, which takes place on a specific day once a week, depending on the neighborhood. Where I live in Gyzi, I go to the laikí on Wednesday and buy fruit, vegetables, fish, legumes, rice and nuts, and then I go to the supermarket for all the rest, like meat, dairy, sugar, coffee, flour, pasta, spices etc. and cleaning products.😊

      The fruit and vegetable market across from the fish market on Athenas has some good prices.

    greece is very expensie. anthotiro cheese which is like ricotta is over 6 euros a kilo. too expensive for greece plus americans have better salaries than the greeks. a tiny jar of peanut butter is 4 or 5 euros.

    • @ToGoIsToKnow
      @ToGoIsToKnow  Рік тому

      I never heard of anthotiro cheese. Peanut butter was cheaper than that because I bought some and if it was 5 Euros I would not have bought it. The everyday Greek food was not bad and this is one of the more expensive supermarkets because of the area. Peanut butter is not very common in many places. In both Brazil and Poland, it was over $10 for a small jar.
