Hello
The better places to stay is in the North and South of Athens.

North:
Kifisia,Vrilisia,Ekali,Politia,Agios Stefanos etc

South:Glyfada,Bouliagmeni,Varkiza,

But the houses are more expensives.

In addition some cities west of Athens as Peristeri,Haidari are very good.

hi,
I will be moving to Athens with my husband and two children too.
What region are the International /English language schools in? What areas do the expat families live and how far away is this from the centre of the city?

Many thanks!

I have a wife and 2 kids who at the moment are based in Denmark.

Depending on your origin and economy there are 3 schools you should check out.

If I can be of further assistance pls let me know.

Regards

Brian

St. Catherines's British School (Kifissia)

Campion School British School (Pallini)

Hello, I am greek and use to live in Athens. I lived in Argiroupoli and feel it was a great location and safe. All the shops are walking distance, everything is footsteps away shops, banks, town hall, metro, buses..Are you planning on living there for a while or just to visit?
