Xpat Accommodation in Athens

If you are an xpat planning on relocating to Athens, apart from the paperwork you will require to undergo for any job positions you may be applying for, you will need to look for a home and there are plenty of ways in doing this.

A great real estate site is: Spitogatos which has full listings from private adverts and realtors in Athens.

There is the Greek version of the yellow pages Hrisi Efkairia which is quite usefull but unfortunately it is in Greek so you may need some help for the translation.

Other useful newspapers are: Athens News & Kathimerini which is great for xpats & Naftemporiki are the top Athens newspapers.

Athens Xpat Introduction

Being an Athens xpat I thought that I would start this blog as I am always trying to find out information on how to get things done as a British xpat living in Athens.

For an xpat, it's never really easy doing things without asking people a million questions as there is so much bureaucracy, so, I thought that I would share whatever information I have with you and it might make your lives a little easier getting around the hassle in Athens so you can have a little more fun!
