Hey, Pati! I’m surprised at the amount of research you’ve done into the Athenian neighborhoods!! You analyzed each one better than a Greek! Well done!! Wild guess?? You’ll definitely be staying in Greece. You suit it and it suits you ❤
Hello Pati from Australia (Adelaide) . I have no intention of living in Greece, but I am visiting Athens and some of the islands in September/October, and I just love to watch your videos and your chat about a city you obviously love. (and it is charming to hear a bit of that English accent creep in to your conversation, making it so apparent that you lived there at some time). I was born in Brighton, but we emigrated here in 1970 (so I guess that tells you that I am an oldie, lol) I am spending a week with a mate and my English cousins in an apartment near Evangelismos metro station( from September 19). Hopefully we have chosen a good area to stay? We planned on eating out a lot. Have you eaten at Klimataria, Kati Allo , Ouzeri Lesvos or Diporto? I have been looking up recommended restaurants and they seem to come up in my searches often. It would be interesting to see if you have an opinion on any of them, or any other recommendations? My mate and I are also spending almost a week in both Naxos and Paros with a day visit to Delos and Mykonos. Also one to Aegina from Athens. we are so excited. It will be at the very end of our 9 week holiday (starting this Friday 16/08) after time in the U.K, Budapest, Prague and Amsterdam. We will finish with three more days in Athens (in an apartment near Akropolis metro), so hopefully we will get to know Athens well. Thanks for all your content. I regularly look forward to seeing it. cheers, and all the best, Mark
G'day (Kalimera) from a Greek Canadian. I grew up in Athens (Northern suburbs) but I'm familiar with the area of Evangelismos and specifically the near by area of Kolonaki. You chose well! Kolonaki is an upscale neighborhood and it is located on the southern slopes of Mount Lycabettus which you should definitely visit. The only area that I would stay away from is OMONIA square, that's it. Just do the "Walk About" to explore and enjoy the many parts of Athens. I recommend you guys buy tickets from a Athenian Tour Company which will walk you thru the many fascinating areas of Athens. Make sure to explore Athens' incredible historical sites like the Acropolis and the Parthenon, enjoy a stroll through Plaka, and relax in one of the city's vibrant cafes or tavernas. Don’t miss out on the lively nightlife and try some delicious Greek food. Have a great time!"
Hi Mark, Thank you for your lovely comment! I love Brighton. I used to live in Sussex and spent many summer days there :) Diporto and Klimateria are awesome and highly recommended, I can't comment on the other two. But I will put it on my list :) I am also planning on taking a day trip to Aegina, so watch this space, I will definitely make a video bout it! I am super happy you enjoy my videos! Enjoy your trip and Greece!
Hi there! Since you mentioned the expensive side of Athens (Riviera), there are also the north suburbs (Kifissia etc.) that are super green and well connected to the centre.
Yes, there are some quite a few nice northern suburbs. I am not sure how easy it is to find a rental apartment there, but some neighbourhoods are definitely worth considering. I will be honest with you, Kifissia wasn't my favourite, but of course it's a matter of taste. I would have to do a part 2 to include more areas. Maybe I will 😉
Great video as always Pati! 😊 But...unfortunately Koukaki was an amazing place to live until 5-10 years ago. Now it's a big Airbnb and the few houses you can still rent are extremely overpriced.

Well done, Pati! Insightful and practical advice! Wishing you all the best and happy trails!
Thanks so much!

Oh this makes me sad 😔
Let’s throw Thissio in the mix
I really like Thissio! I go there for a walk all the time. But I must admit I have not seen any properties for rent in the area 🤔
Would love to see the map you used, to help see where these areas are.
I will post a link to Google my maps I created soon! Watch this space!!
Kurcze, wszystko w tych Atenach takie podobne, ze co ujecie, to mam wrazenie, ze tam bylam 😀
