Шаблон:Short description The Greek community in Belgium numbers around 25,000[1] to 35,000 people.[2]

History

Although Greeks were already living in Belgium before 1956, most migration from Greece to Belgium happened between 1956 and 1964. An estimated 20,000 Greeks were then attracted as guest workers for the mining industry. They ended up mainly in the city of Mons or the mining region in the province of Limburg. Gradually, they also migrated to Brussels, where, among other things, a Greek community settled around Brussels-North railway station.[3]

Since the Financial crisis of 2007–2008, which hit Greece hard on the socio-economic front, an increasing number of Greeks started migrating for work to Belgium.[4]
