Summer jobs in Greece? So you want to get wet and wild and experience the Greek Islands, huh? Well, how about instead of a weeklong party fest you stretch your short stay drunken carnage into an entire summer of orgasmic bliss and mistakes? I am talking about snagging one of the many jobs that the Greek Islands offers to potential sinners for the summer.<\/p>\n

\"summer<\/a><\/p>\n

So where do you find a ‘fun-in-the-sun’ summer job in the Greek Islands?<\/em><\/p>\n

Everywhere. There are so many islands to choose from for your summer job. The party meccas in the Cyclades group in the Aeagan Sea such as Ios and Mykonos, characterized by their hilly, craggy cliffs lined with the classic white facades of Greece’s celebrated blues domes, are perfect for those looking for a raucous atmosphere. Then there is Corfu – the largest in the Ionian Sea archipelagos, which boasts more greenery and nature for those looking for something a little more lush.<\/p>\n

What’s the party job lifestyle like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well, your average day greatly depends on where you land and what summer profession you decide to take. There are always jobs working at the legendary\u00a0Pink Palace Corfu<\/a>\u00a0– a sexified backpacker resort, but the majority of employment action happens on the other side of the sea. Let\u2019s look at Ios as an example…<\/p>\n

\"summer<\/a><\/p>\n

Ios is the stomping ground of many an Aussie lad. Cheap drinks and bar jobs galore make Ios the cheapest of the Greek party towns. Here, your typical day may include, but is not limited to: going to the beach, swimming, baking in the sun, nursing the head other hung over folks in the sun, before doing it all again at any number of the bars and restaurants scattered along the beach…particularly the renowned Far Out Beach bar<\/a> with its large pools and lounge area.<\/p>\n

It may also include adventure water sports, volleyball, barbecuing on a balcony, enjoying an endless sunset, beginning your pre-party shortly thereafter at Far Out, carrying the party into downtown Ios at one of the dozens of bars all night long, seeing the sunrise, making a big mistake or five, rinse repeat.<\/p>\n

“Wow, that sounds great, but how do I pay for this amazing experience\/poor life-choice?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Get a job dude<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This non-stop party machine needs busy bees to keep those cogs moving – and what better bees than the backpackers they serve? Jobs range from working in water sports to working at the hotels along the islands or getting more intimate with the aforementioned party culture with one of the many bars jobs. Most shifts run from 10pm until 4am, with a pay of about \u20ac25-\u20ac30 per shift. Which of course means you won\u2019t be ballin\u2019, but it\u2019ll keep you ticking over and besides, life is full of experiences \u2013 and working the Greek Islands is one of those. Here are a few job examples:<\/p>\n

Bartender<\/strong><\/h4>\n

No surprise here. Someone must feed the ravenous alcoholics and the barman is the man for the job. It is arguably the best job. As usual, as you get to participate in the party whilst on the job. Your typical bartender earns a mere \u20ac40-\u20ac50 a night.<\/p>\n

image greece hut<\/h4>\n

‘Door Whore’<\/strong> – Not to be confused with a bouncer. Your job here, typically a guy, is to get passer-by\u2019s interested in your bar. Some play it aggressive, some lay back and just mingle. Either way, you will meet a lot of people. Typical pay here is \u20ac25 per shift.<\/p>\n

‘Floor Whore’<\/strong> – Ah the beloved ‘floor whore’. For some a perfect travel job, for others, it is the bottom of the bin of human misery filled with deceit and, well, whorey-ness. Typically a job for the ladies, the \u2018floor whore\u2019 drinks all night, dances all night, and entices other party-goers (drunk horny men) to also do the same. At best it is a fun way to chat up, drink with and meet new folks while on the clock. At worst it is a saliva-swapping creep fest. Either way, you are done by 3 or 4am and have earned your keep for the night: \u20ac25 plus drinks per shift.<\/p>\n

Ok, I’m disgusted…sign me up<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that you have been shown what to expect from your summer – the studying of Greek history in the islands, now you probably want to know how to secure gainful employment. And for that you will have to buy my ebook for $9.95.<\/p>\n

Ha. Joking. Who do you think I am, some shameless travel blogger?<\/p>\n

Jobs come and go in Ios. Things are pretty transient, as to be expected from irresponsible 20-somethings with alcohol issues. But the season runs from May to September, so if you want to secure a better job \u2013 or want to drink for the duration like a sailor (wink: Australians) \u2013 arrive earlier, and inquire around.<\/p>\n

What about housing, yo?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some of the companies provide shared apartments for their party slaves, others you will sort yourself. When you first arrive the hot spots for short-term housing areFrancesco\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0for downtown Ios and\u00a0Far Out<\/a>\u00a0for the beach. You can then sort yourself out until you land your dream summer job and a place.<\/p>\n

What’s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take action. Buy your ticket. And prepare for a life experience you will not want to share with your partner later in life.<\/p>\n

Oh, and one more thing – once you’ve had the summer adventure of your life you can send me an email of gratitude for giving you a heads up at\u00a0Aroundtheworldin80jobs.com<\/a>\u00a0and ask about other great travel job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Party on responsibly…<\/p>\n
