Hospitality in Greece and Mediterranean islands

Greece and the Mediterranean islands are summer hospitality hotspots, with tavernas, beach bars and boutique resorts. Tourism is highly seasonal. Island economies rely heavily on hospitality.

Tipping

Tipping is optional but common: 5-10% in restaurants or rounding up.

Working there

Seasonal contracts dominate, with long hours in peak months. Staff housing shortages are a major issue. Many workers move between islands or countries each season.

Rules on pay and visas change. Check official government guidance before you move.
