Any information related to Athens

Post new topic

Hello everybody! :)
I am a girl from Madrid, Spain and I just got a job in Athens, and I will be moving there next week (yes, everything has been pretty fast!), so I haven't had time to check information about the city.
The company I will be working for is located in the Kallithea area. Is it a nice area to live as well? Because I was adviced to try to live as near to my workplace as possible.
Will I need a plug adaptor for my computer, hair-dryer, etc?

Any information related to the city, renting an appartment, etc would be really welcome!
Thank you in advance!!

David

Hi Solare79,

Hola Solare y bienvenida,
Kallithea no está nada mal. Seguro que en la mayoría de los barrios en Atenas hay partes buenas y malas. Supongo que igual en Kallithea.
No hace falta cambiar algo para operar el ordenador. Es igual que en España. Vosotros como pueblo parecéis mucho a los Griegos, así que no vas a encontrar problemas integrarte en la vida cotidiana. Hay muchísima gente que habla inglés. También los hay que hablan español como yo.
Pregúntame cualquier cosa si te apetece.
Hasta luego
Spiros

Hola!
Kalithea no es muy buena zona pero tampoco la peor. tiene la ventaja q tiene estacion del train lo cual significa q puedes rapido y facil llegar a otros lugares de Atenas. Para salir, tomar algoo simplemente dar un paseo el centro esta muy bien. Entre Sintagma y la estacion "Panepistimio" hay muchisimos pequeños bares(la plaza Karitsi es un ejemplo o la calle Kolokotroni). La calle de peatones (Apostolou Pavlou) a la salida del metro"Akropolis" llega hasta la zona de Thisio y creo q es el mejor paseo de Grecia!

Para ir de compras la calle comercial Ermou es la mas importante de Atenas. Tambien al centro ahy Attica Stores y Notos Galleries.

Espero q te haga ayudado algo. Q lo pases bien en Grecia!
