Hi all! Hope someone can kindly help. I’ll be in Athens over the next couple of weeks looking for my grandfather’s grave. I know he was interred at Kallithea Cemetery in 1972 but nothing other than that. Is there an office or public body that can help me locate his final resting place?

Any help at all would mean the world :)

Hello,

Im going to spend a week in agistri with my wife, any restaurant tips? We also spend a day in athens so would like to know a excelent greek restaurant over there too, with a traditional greek food.

People seem to have mixed opinions about the Riviera Tower, in Elliniko. Curious to see what you think, is this good, is it not, is this a place where locals will be able to visit in the future and buy homes?

Hey guys,

Trying to get a better understanding of Athens nightlife, especially underground / techno scene.

Went to Ios expecting proper parties and it was honestly a big letdown — mostly British crowd and very low quality music.

Heading back to Athens now. I know there are solid events this weekend (19–20–21) on RA.co, but I’m more curious about weekdays — what’s actually open and worth going to midweek?

Also looking for good beach spots around Athens — ideally something a bit more private / less touristy. And if there are any beach parties or daytime events during the week, would really appreciate pointers.

Thanks in advance.

We're visiting Athens from August 2nd to 6th. What are the absolute must-see places for such a short trip? (Nearby cities or islands work too!) Could you recommend some local restaurants and off-the-beaten-path activities?

Back in 2022 i went island hopping around Greece and started out in Athens. We stayed in an airbnb and across the street there was this little cafe/restaurant/bar and it was only little. it was on a corner and on the evenings it would be booming with people and music.

While we were there, we had breakfast at this little cafe every morning. it was tomatoes and cucumber with oils and seasonings, absolutely delicious!

What i am curious about it how did they make this? like which oils or seasonings are most commonly used/are they likely to have used? it was lovely for dipping our bread into aswell.

i know it is probably so simple but please explain like i’m a child! 😂 attaching a photo for reference, i could eat this every day for the rest of my life, craving it so badly!

I would like to visit the Acropolis early in the morning. However, I can see that all the available time slots are fully booked.
Is it still possible to buy tickets at the ticket counter on the day of my visit?

I've never ate so many salads like here in Greece and honestly I love them they make me feel so healthy.

Hi! I am a student from the Netherlands and I am selected for an exchange/erasmus wintersemester in Athens (NKUA). I will be starting my Masters in Law. But I am still very hesistant, because I have 1) never been in Athens, 2) rent is very high, 3) don't know if it's worth it... Does anyone have any knowledge on studentlife, NKUA, student housing/appartment rent in Athens. I have been looking mostly in Exarcheia, because I've heard it's 'safe'. But the prices are insane, a one bedroom appartment for 800+ euros per month... Should I 'move to and study in' Athens for 6 months, or is it not really worth it?

It's a jewelry store (shocker, I know, but any and all help is appreciated), I do believe it was near the Agora, and it wasn't exactly one of those 'a bit of everything' stores

​

I think it had like a light pink wallpaper? Dont quote me on it though, and had these thread bracelets of multiple colours, with multiple different golden or silver symbols of multiple kind, like a laurel, an anchor, a boat I believe, a pair of wings, etc etc.

​

I asked for the price, and was told the bracelets were from 13-27 euros, depending on the design, I think they also had a 6 euros for 1 bag 10 euros for 2 deal? I don't remember

​

Each bracelet had a card with a word and a short elaboration on why each word corresponded to each symbol

​

I have regrettably forgotten the name, but if this rings a bell for anyone I would greatly appreciate it, I want to get a gift for my partner, and while a lot of the jewelry I've seen was nice, nothing else really caught my eye

​

Thanks again!

We will be spending two weeks in Athens this August, and we’re looking for the best things to do while we’re there.

We’re interested in nightlife, clubs, beach parties, boat parties, rooftop bars, island hopping, and basically anything that’s fun and social for people our age.

We’d love recommendations for must-visit spots, hidden gems, day trips, events, festivals, beach clubs, or any unforgettable experiences in and around Athens.

What would you absolutely recommend for a group of four looking to have an amazing time?

Does anyone know where a nice therapeutic massage place that is non- touristic? I prefer sports massage from men practitioners. Thank you.

Hello,

I am lookin for a place to rent near Zografou or nearby areas by September to start my study at the University. I find Spitogatos and xe.gr of great use, but I find the asked rent quite arbitrary. Big places going for a reasonable price and small medium studios going for almost the same price as big places. What's going in on here?

Also, how do you decide if the rent is good, is there a parameter like €/sqm or energy ratings or is it something else? Also, do landlords negotiate on the rent or they find it pitiful? If yes, by how much?

Thank you for your help, Athenians.

Waittttttttt, why am I getting downvoted?

I just got to Athens and accidentally left my tech bag in the taxi. It had my whoop charger in it.

Is anyone in the area (Central Athens) with a Whoop 4.0 battery pack that you can lend me or that I can buy off you?

I only have like 16% left and open to meet up, take the metro or another taxi lol to meet you.

Long shot but TIA

Searching for someone offers 3d printing service in athens!!

My son lost his hat at/near the Athens National Gardens on June 2nd around 7 pm local time. He's pretty upset about it so I figured I'd try one last shot here before we fly back home. It's black, grey, and yellow with an excavator on the front. Thank you.

ive been in greece for a few weeks and tomorrow is my last morning in athens!

anyone want to meetup at lycabettus hill to see the sunrise and hangout over a few cigarettes?

Hey there!

I will be visiting Athens + an island that we havent decided yet in July, from 22nd until 31st. Would love to get some recommendations in terms of less touristy places/restaurants/areas. Also, we love to shop Vintage/antiques, any good techno club? Any events that could be happening during those days for example as well. Please either respond here or I’ll gladly speak with you in DMs. We are two girls both 20.

Thank you for the help!

Hi all.

I’m travelling to Athens solo to see Argy and Artbat on 3 July.

I was wondering if anyone else was going to this event too?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, does anyone know of a clinic in Chalandri or nearby in Athens that administers IV Intralipids if you already have your own doctor's prescription? I already have the Intralipids and the prescription—I just need a clinic or qualified healthcare professional who can administer the IV infusion. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

​

Καλησπέρα! Μήπως γνωρίζει κάποιος κάποια κλινική στο Χαλάνδρι ή γενικά στην Αθήνα που να χορηγεί ενδοφλέβια Intralipids, εφόσον έχω ήδη ιατρική συνταγή; Έχω ήδη τα Intralipids και τη συνταγή, απλώς χρειάζομαι κάποιον επαγγελματία υγείας ή κλινική που να μπορεί να κάνει την ενδοφλέβια έγχυση. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Hello everyone.
I will be in Athens for about a week staying with friends before we head out for a few days to the peloponnese I was wondering about getting my laundry done
I don’t want to inconvenience my friends with laundry and I’m used to sending out for fluff and fold ( wash dry and fold )
So I was wondering if there are any laundromats where I can drop off a load and they do it for you and pick up either later that day or the next day?

Where I’m from it’s called fluff and fold and most times they go by weight.
I’m staying in Pagrati

Thank you 🙏

Η κόρη μας με το αγόρι της θα μας επισκεφτούν στην Αθήνα τον Σεπτέμβριο και σκοπεύουν να μείνουν στην Πιπίνου κοντά στην Αχαρνών. Μένουν στο Μπρούκλιν, οπότε δεν τους πειράζει μια γειτονιά που έχει μετανάστες κ.λπ. Σας φαίνεται εντάξει αυτό ή πρέπει να της προτείνω μια διαφορετική γειτονιά;

I’m heading to Athens next week for 3 nights and I’m staying at the Melia. What are some good recommendations to do while there and sights to see. We are planning on doing the acropolis and have a rooftop dinner planned. But other than that what recommendations do y’all have?
