It is very difficult for the average Greeks to live in the metropol, without the support of family if does not have a good education or business skills. The above essential needs are 4 times, and even some things are 5 times more expensive than Turkey. Most close figures betwwen 2 country could only be house rentals, may be...
Prices in Greece are really amazingly expensive compared to Bulgaria too. I'm going to Bulgaria regularly the prices are not so high as Greece. Despite this, the city of Edirne is almost under Bulgarian invasion on all Saturdays and Sundays. People do their monthly grocery shopping and even buy whatever they can find and return home that way. When my little brother was in Bulgaria for university, Bulgaria was a much more affordable country to live. With the transition to the Euro, that old environment disappeared.
Anyway, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria etc. these countries have almost become villages of the core of EU. Abandonment of their old currencies did not make a big leap in their economy either. Of course, there are subsidies and infrastructure investment supports created by European funds, but the dream of a great Europe has begun to turn into countries whose purchasing power decreases as they move away from Europe's borders, and whose population is used as a labor force source.
With the devaluation of the currency in TR, the flow of illegal workers from Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, etc. to Turkey has completely stopped. Central and western Europe is the only way now for poor people in countries like this... Also I hope that a million or so population from Turkey will move to western Europe. Half of them Syrian-Iraqi and other half of them Kurdish-Turkish. I think Greece should close the refugee camps in the islands too. If the best social conditions in Europe is in Germany, these refugees must go there.
