With the support of Grand Sponsors COSMOTE and in partnership with AEGEAN and Eurobank and under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Digital Governance
Addressing the international trend of Digital Nomads, Marketing Greece has launched a new initiative encouraging remote workers to choose Greece as their workplace. With the support of Grand Sponsors COSMOTE and in partnership with AEGEAN and Eurobank, the campaign is operating under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Digital Governance, inviting Digital Nomads to transform their work life into a lifetime experience.
With the famed climate, lifestyle, authentic experiences, and Mediterranean diet constituting competitive advantages for Greece, Work From Greece highlights the country’s unique qualities as an ideal destination for remote workers, as well as offering practical information on how to make the move, including securing a Digital Nomad Visa.
Through workfromgreece.gr, the international community of Digital Nomads is being presented with an open invitation to move their workspace to Greece by:
- Providing useful information that answers their main questions about living in Greece
- Encouraging them to imagine their professional daily life in Greece through inspirational travel content
- Inviting them to connect with the communities of remote workers that already exist in various destinations in Greece
- Feeding them with testimonials from Digital Nomads already living and working in Greece
- Strengthening the concept of community through the power of Social Media and the creation of dedicated digital channels on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
The workfromgreece.gr platform aims to become a hub, not just for the Digital Nomad community thinking about or already living in the country but also for the growing ecosystem of companies providing services to remote workers in Greece (including co-living and co-working spaces).
At the same time, to help attract Digital Nomads to Greece, workfromgreece.gr is offering rights-free digital content through a Content Kit*. A series of videos is being made available (Your office view| Your open-space office | Your conference room| Your after-work drinks), transposing popular workplace terms onto classic urban and island settings in Greece, creating the connection between regular office life and aspirational scenes of everyday living and the feeling of being in Greece.

“Digital Nomads are a dynamic and up-and-coming community that will continue to grow, even when the current environment stabilises. The emerging opportunity for Greece can be a powerful vehicle for attracting interest, and achieving it requires a collective effort – from the active participation of the public sector and the contribution of destinations in creating or strengthening infrastructure to the cooperative nature of communities and the development of Greek tourism initiatives. In this initiative, we have the significant support of COSMOTE as a Grand Sponsor, as well as our partners AEGEAN and Eurobank, who are once again assisting our work. We would like to thank them for their continued support,” said Ioanna Dretta , CEO of Marketing Greece.
“The coverage and reliability of networks, both mobile and fixed-line, are a fundamental criterion of this new generation of remote workers when choosing the physical location of their digital activities. With state-of-the-art technologies, such as 5G and Fiber to the Home, COSMOTE has developed high-quality infrastructure throughout Greece, which is an incentive to attract Digital Nomads. The new generation networks give impetus to the Greek economy, create prospects for digital development and contribute to the creation of a better world for all,” said George Onopas, Fixed & Mobile Access Network DevOps Director at OTE Group of Companies (HTO).
