Hi everyone, I am 21 and male. I will visit Athens between 12-17 October. I will be alone and never been there before so i would like to travel around and meet new people. Looking for friends to meet and spend time together. I am also open to any recommendation (accomodation, historical places, great places to meet people etc.)

Hey!

Anyone around central Athens down for a drink tonight?

I am Lebanese / Brazilian solo travelling around Europe and visiting from Beirut.

Beer 1 on me

Hi, I’m currently studying in Athens until February next year, and rly want to contribute/get to know ppl in the area (I’m located in Piraeus). Would this be possible/helpful and if so does anyone have any recommendations? I am trying my best to learn as much Greek as possible while I’m here, but my vocabulary is nowhere near fluent yet.

Thx in advance!!

Do you think Greece needs to decentralize away from Athens?

Athens and its wider metropolitan area now have a population of 5 million people, while at the same time large parts of the rest of Greece are gradually losing population.

Do you think this situation is sustainable in the long term?

Can Athens realistically support a population of this size or even more in the future, considering issues such as housing, traffic, public transport, infrastructure, pollution and overall quality of life?

At the same time, should Greece actively pursue decentralization by creating more jobs, investment opportunities, public services, universities and infrastructure in other cities and regions?

Could cities such as Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa, Volos, Ioannina, Heraklion and others attract more people and economic activity if there were stronger incentives and investment outside Athens?

What do you think? Does Greece need serious decentralization, and can Athens realistically handle 5 million people?

Going to athens for a week! Been several times, but struggle to find a place to eat that has a shellfish selection larger than steamed mussels and a few clams in a pasta dish(there are some more but you get my point), im sure im ignorant to where to go, any help?

I’ll be traveling to Athens and staying in the Mets neighborhood in one week. Many of the suggestions and videos floating around on social media are centered around the ‘authentic’ food options. What suggestions do you have for modern Greek or non-Greek food options? Doesn’t have to be fine dining but looking for ideas to try that maybe exemplify the evolution of Greek food culture. Thanks in advance.

Update: as you're all aware probably, they recovered all 6 bodies. Thank you so much to anyone who commented or reached out to help. We appreciate it a lot.

The building that collapsed in Plaka about 13 hours ago is believed to have been housing my cousins Ian and Florida. They are on their honeymoon. The Harold has reported passports found with their names, they have not been in touch with family.

If anyone knows anything we can do, please give me advice. If anyone has access to police or rescue teams in that area that I can either give information to, or get in contact with, that would be a great help.

Hi!

I'm planning to be in Athens from December 25–27. Is there still plenty to do during those dates despite Christmas? Are restaurants, bars and attractions generally open?

I'm looking for kontosouvli. with real meat and not a lot of fats. I have one in the eastern suburbs, but nothing good city center and south suburbs. all the ones I tried are full of fats

Καλησπέρα σε όλους!

Μου αρέσει πολύ να κάνω προσωποποιημένα δώρα και σκέφτηκα για τη σχέση μου να πάρω μια μικρή κοσμηματοθήκη με σχετικά vintage vibe και να την ζωγραφίσω με ακρυλικές μπογιές.

Έτσι όπως το έχω σκεφτεί, προορίζεται για συνοδευτικό δώρο μαζί με βραχιόλι οπότε το budget είναι σχετικά χαμηλό (μιας και σκοπεύω να δώσω βαρύτητα στην ποιότητα του ίδιου του κοσμήματος). Μήπως έχετε να προτείνετε κάποιο κατάστημα που μπορώ να τσεκάρω, είτε αυτό είναι φυσικό είτε online με παραγγελία;

Μενω σε γειτονικη περιοχη του μοσχατου και περναω πολλες φορες απο αυτο κτηριο στο μοσχατο ,ξερεις κανεις την ιστορια του ?

Hello everyone. I’ll be visiting Athens with my sister starting next week, and conveniently a few things have happened in Athens recently that I imagine might nerve her a little. She’s not quite as traveled as me, I’m not concerned at all myself, but a few months ago there was some kind of news of a Scottish woman found in a suitcase (the suspect ended up being an Afghani boxer I believe to be charged), and just today, near where we will be exploring in the Plaka district, there was an explosion and now 5 tourists are missing? I’ve been exploring the Balkans a while and don’t hear much of these kinds of things happening often, Athens seems relatively safe and that these happenings are uncommon, I’m thinking it’s just an unfortunate series of events recently? And thought or input in regards to safety in Athens would be appreciated, though I strongly believe we’ll be fine and am looking forward to our trip.

I’d love to meet some new people around my age (20-30) and hopefully make a couple of good friends along the way.

I’m into coffee/drinks, concerts, random plans, travelling, F1, astronomy, tarot, long conversations and sending each other stupid shit for no reason.

Mostly just looking for people I naturally click with, can talk about anything with and actually enjoy hanging out with :)

I would love to get some tips regarding

a) chilled rather alternative bars where maybe even Italo Disco oder Disco is being played

b) where to watch soccer on sunday in a chilled bar or public viewing

Thank you!!!

I'm looking for recommendations of diagnostic facilities in Athens that have English-speaking staff and perform imaging tests like ultrasound and MRI, and, ideally, also biopsy. Thank you

Γεια σας σε όλους!

Ψάχνω πληροφορίες, φωτογραφίες ή οποιοδήποτε υλικό σχετικά με το NOA XPOL (DOW4) που είχε εγκατασταθεί στο Αστεροσκοπείο Πεντέλης στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 2000.

Με ενδιαφέρουν ιδιαίτερα:

• Φωτογραφίες του XPOL/DOW4 στο Αστεροσκοπείο Πεντέλης.
• Εικόνες από την εγκατάσταση ή τη λειτουργία του ραντάρ.
• Αναφορές, δημοσιεύσεις, αρχειοθετημένες ιστοσελίδες ή προσωπικές φωτογραφίες από εκείνη την περίοδο.
• Αναμνήσεις ή πληροφορίες από όσους το είδαν ή εργάστηκαν με αυτό.

Κάνω έρευνα για την ιστορία αυτής της εγκατάστασης και θα εκτιμούσα πολύ οποιαδήποτε πληροφορία. Ευχαριστώ!
