Travelers now receive a free 1-year Global Nomad Pass (USD $79.99 value), unlocking exclusive local discounts in 5 Greek cities, courtesy of WORKFROMGREECE.GR
In a bold move to establish Greece as a premier destination for remote work, Marketing Greece has partnered with Global Nomad Pass to launch an unprecedented national rewards program as part of its WORKFROMGREECE.GR initiative to welcome digital nomads and remote workers from around the world.
Beginning June 17th, the first 2,000 travellers — either already in Greece or with proof of an upcoming flight — can click this link to claim a free 1-year Global Nomad Pass membership (valued at USD $79.99). This membership offers exclusive discounts of up to 30% off at over 75 handpicked local businesses across five Greek cities — Athens, Thessaloniki, Chania, Ioannina, and Kalamata — ranging from independent cafes and restaurants to coworking spaces, fitness studios, salons, accommodations, and local experiences.
Valid for 12 months, the membership continues to unlock discounts well beyond Greece, with access to more than 500 local hidden gems across 25+ destinations worldwide where Global Nomad Pass is already accepted.
“This isn’t just a city launch — it’s a national welcome,” said Safir Jamal, CEO of Global Nomad Pass. “For the first time, an entire country is actively rewarding travelers for supporting local businesses. It’s a powerful example of what’s possible when destinations partner with us to build a future where travel creates meaningful, lasting impact for local economies.”
CONNECTING REMOTE WORKERS, LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Unlike Global Nomad Pass’ previous destination launches that focused on a single city, this program reflects a larger ambition: to bridge the gap between tourism and economic development. By helping travelers discover hidden gem businesses that have been handpicked by locals — and giving these businesses access to a new stream of high-value customers — this partnership allows each trip to Greece to be a win-win: for travelers, local businesses, and the economies they strengthen.
It also helps further strengthen established hubs in Greece like Athens, Thessaloniki and Crete, while introducing emerging digital nomad-friendly destinations like Kalamata and Ioannina.
WHY GREECE IS BETTING BIG ON REMOTE WORK
At the heart of this partnership is a shared mission: to reimagine Greece as more than a holiday destination.
Established by Marketing Greece (a not-for-profit initiative of Greece’s private-sector tourism industry and creators of Discover Greece) and operating under the auspices of the Hellenic Government, WORKFROMGREECE.GR wants the world to see Greece as a year-round home base for remote workers.
“We believe Greece is one of the world’s most rewarding destinations for digital nomads,” said Nikos Diamantopoulos, General Manager of Marketing Greece. “It offers flexibility, discovery, and a sense of community – values at the heart of WORKFROMGREECE.GR. And now, through our collaboration with Global Nomad Pass, it’s easier than ever to connect with local life. It’s not just about working from Greece. It’s about giving something back — and getting even more in return.”
This program builds on Greece’s strategy by showcasing authentic experiences, vibrant urban centres, and a welcoming infrastructure for location-independent workers, including a growing network of coworking spaces and upgraded digital connectivity across key regions.
GREECE AND REMOTE WORKERS: A PERFECT MATCH
Greece is already becoming a magnet for remote workers. In 2021, the Greek government introduced a Digital Nomad Visa, granting eligible non-EU citizens the right to live and work remotely from Greece for up to 12 months, with the possibility of extension. Applicants must demonstrate remote employment or self-employment and a monthly income of at least €3,500 (after taxes).
With its affordable cost of living, rich cultural heritage, and temperate climate, Greece is emerging as a top choice for remote workers seeking a better quality of life. This new program is designed to highlight that potential, offering a low-barrier, high-reward way to explore Greece — with the hope that many will stay longer, return often, or make Greece their new home.
