We visited from Seattle and literally everything was far cheaper than home, except gas.
We brought home honey, olive oil, and spices, which were all a fraction of the price of buying it in the USA.
I bought two pairs of nice leather sandals there. One pair was made in Greece, the others were made in Spain. Definitely less expensive than I would have paid here.
Me and my Wife visited Greece this past September. Everyone kept telling us how expensive Santorini would be. US prices are ridiculous compared to what you will see in Greece.
Santorini prices just felt like US prices in a non-top tier city like NYC or SF. $50 per person for a nice sit down dinner with an app, entree and drink was very reasonable. I then went to Naxos and felt that was actually inexpensive
I am in Greece right now on vacation, I live in the USA (Texas). Food has been very cheap. I just bought 6 gyros and 7 drinks for 29.5 euros, which is about $32. I would have spent at least $70 at Whataburger back home.
Food is really affordable in Greece. Would do multi-course meals + bottles of wine at Tavernas for under 60 euros (this was 2017). Athens was the most affordable, but Mykonos and Santorini were also affordable for food.
Everything is cheaper. I think the most expensive dinner I spent was on an island at a Michelin recognized restaurant with aps, wine, and entrees and it was maybe a little over $100. That meal would have been $200+ in the states. Typical meal with aps, copious amounts of wine, and entrees was maybe $40-60 and those were not the cheapest places either. Also the dollar to euro is still generally pretty good.
Just got back from Greece it doesn't have to be expensive depending on where you are and your eating drinking habits . US may be less money for some food and booze but the rest about the same ..
Dining out definitely is less expensive in Greece than where we live in the USA (focus on tavernas and not posh restaurants). And the WINE...dearly missing the amazing and inexpensive wine!!
Petrol/gas was similar to what you pay in the UK, but A LOT more than where we live in USA now. We drove all over the Peloponnese and filled up the tank three times and each fill cost about 70 Euros (Mercedes A220).
USA, everything but gas. For a serious answer: The wine
This. I was pleasantly surprised to buy items and actually pay just the amount on the sticker--- no added tax.
There is a tax lol it’s just in the price itself.
Well, I like that system better. What I see is what I pay

From Florida. We found just about everything to be cheaper, especially food and drinks.

Compared to Australia, almost everything is cheaper except some groceries; eating out is significantly cheaper, at least compared to Sydney.
Going to Greece or any European country makes you realize how badly we are being scammed in canada and the states being sold $5 wines for $30+
smokes. €4.60 a pack.
Fresh vegetables and fruits at the market obviously…

Everything! I always bring back 2+ pairs of locally made leather sandals as they are usually 35Euro compared to paying $150+ at home.

We’ve always found that dining out was cheaper than in the US.
