Bottled gas is widely available for cookers and heaters.

For short term rented accommodation the utility bills will usually remain in the name of the owner. For longer term rentals and if the landlord requests it, the bills may be transferred into your name by applying at the relevant offices. Non-Greeks may be required to put down a deposit against future usage.
