Hello! I suggest reaching out to anyone you know who's working or living in Greece/Athens. You never know who knows someone who can help you out or that works in marketing. In Greece, many people find jobs through word of mouth and people always hire friends of friends. It's not the most western way, but that's just how Greece works. If you don't know anyone, that's okay! You can also try looking for jobs on Linkedin and try searching by location. Good luck!
 
I’ve been looking into options too, and I found that with P72, the minimum income you can earn is $18,324. It’s legit and seems like a decent starting point, especially if you're new in Athens and just trying to get your foot in the door. I’d suggest checking them out if you haven’t already.

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I'm curious—did you end up finding something in Athens? I'm currently thinking of making a similar move and trying to figure out if speaking some Greek makes a big difference when looking for jobs there, especially in hospitality or teaching. Anyone here have recent experiences with English-speaking jobs or tips on where to look other than Facebook groups?
 
I moved to Athens recently and found that having a specific skill helped a lot. I looked up "phlebotomy training near me" because healthcare jobs are always in demand, and it gave me a good starting point. Even if you're not planning to stay long-term, it can open doors quickly with clinics and labs. A friend found work faster just by having some basic training under their belt.
 

Is Kolonaki worth visiting?

I'm planning another trip to Athens and keep hearing good things about Kolonaki. I've walked through Plaka, Monastiraki, and Syntagma several times over the years, but I've never really spent much time exploring Kolonaki.

For those who have visited, is it worth adding to my itinerary? I've heard it's a more upscale neighborhood with great cafés, restaurants, shopping, and a different atmosphere than the more tourist-focused areas. I'm wondering if it's the kind of place where you can spend a relaxed afternoon wandering around or if it's mainly for luxury shopping.

If you recommend visiting, what shouldn't I miss? I'd love suggestions for cafés, bakeries, restaurants, viewpoints, or any hidden gems nearby. I'd also be interested in hearing what makes Kolonaki stand out compared to other neighborhoods in Athens.

What to Do on Cruise Stop in Athens (Piraeus)?

I’ve got a cruise stop coming up in Piraeus with about five hours, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to spend it.

I’ve been to Athens quite a few times and have already done most of the major sights, so I’m not looking to rush back to the Acropolis of Athens or museums again.

I’m more interested in something different this time, maybe a great local area to wander, a good food spot, or even something closer to the port that still feels worth it.

Is it better to stay around Piraeus and explore there, or head into a specific neighborhood in Athens for a quick, focused experience?

Is it worth spending time in Athens in August?

I’m starting to plan a trip to Greece, but the only month I’m really able to travel this year is August. I know that’s peak season for a lot of the islands, but I’ve heard mixed things about Athens in August.

Some people have told me the city can feel pretty quiet because many Athenians leave for their villages or the islands during that time. Others say it’s still lively because of tourism. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s worth spending a few days there before heading to another part of Greece for a Panagia festival we want to attend.

Athens is such an important city historically and culturally that I don’t want to skip it if it’s still enjoyable. On the other hand, if a lot of places are closed or the city feels half-empty, maybe it makes more sense to focus our time elsewhere?

Best Athens Restaurants with Acropolis Views?

I’ve been to Athens many times over the years, but one thing I never get tired of is a great meal paired with an Acropolis view. I’ve already been to a few of the classic spots, but for my next trip I’d love to branch out and try something new, maybe somewhere a little unexpected, or a place locals actually enjoy as much as visitors.

I’m open to anything: modern Greek, traditional tavernas, rooftop bars with small plates, or even hotels with great terraces that allow non-guests. What are your favorite restaurants in Athens with Acropolis views?

How walkable is Athens?

I’m thinking about visiting Athens this year and trying to figure out how easy it is to get around on foot. I usually prefer walking when I travel, especially in cities where you can explore neighborhoods naturally without relying too much on transportation.

How walkable is Athens overall? Are the main areas like Plaka, Monastiraki, and the Acropolis close enough to each other to comfortably walk between them, or is it more spread out than it looks?

I’m also wondering where it makes the most sense to stay if I want to rely mostly on walking. Would it still be worth using the metro, or even renting a car, or is that unnecessary for a short trip?
