Neighbourhood guides, honest notes on long stays, and the practical stuff of moving to Athens. Written by the people who keep the apartments.
Neighbourhood Guides
Behind the Panathenaic Stadium, fifteen minutes from Syntagma and a world away from it. The neighbourhood people move to and then stay in.
Neighbourhood Guides
No ruins, no views, no guidebook entry. Two metro stations, ten minutes to Syntagma, and the street where young Athens actually drinks.
For Owners
On gross, short-term wins easily. On net, the gap narrows sharply. A line-by-line calculation, with a worked example in Pagrati.
For Owners
Στο μεικτό η βραχυχρόνια κερδίζει άνετα. Στο καθαρό η διαφορά μικραίνει δραματικά. Ένας υπολογισμός γραμμή γραμμή, με ενδεικτικό παράδειγμα στο Παγκράτι.
For Owners
Guaranteed rent is not a projection, it is a contractual term. What you sign, who carries what, what you give up, and the tax break that expires in 2026.
For Owners
Το εγγυημένο μίσθωμα δεν είναι πρόβλεψη, είναι όρος σύμβασης. Τι υπογράφετε, ποιος αναλαμβάνει τι, τι θυσιάζετε, και το φορολογικό κίνητρο που λήγει το 2026.
For Owners
A second bathroom is the best investment you can make. What else pays back, what is wasted money, and what a renovation actually costs in 2026.
For Owners
Το δεύτερο μπάνιο είναι η καλύτερη επένδυση που θα κάνετε. Τι άλλο αποδίδει, τι είναι σπατάλη, και τι κοστίζει πραγματικά μια ανακαίνιση το 2026.
Living in Athens
Invented by accident in 1957, reinvented in Athens in 1991. How the frappé and the freddo took over a country, how to order, and why you are really buying the chair.
Thoughtfully furnished apartments for monthly and long stays, in the neighbourhoods we write about.
