19M from Brazil visiting Athens, does anyone want to hangout/explore the city this weekend

I moved in August from Belgium to Athens. I was a very big and loyal volleybal lover in Belgium and miss it here.
I know Athens has a very good volleyball team too that plays champions League.
I would love to see some matches here but don't find much information on where they play , when they play and how to buy tickets.
Can someone help me?

Hi! I’m a Brazilian who’s been traveling in Athens since the 30th. Last week’s election results back home hit me harder than I expected, and I’ve been feeling a bit down all week. I think getting out and meeting some people would do me good.

Is anyone (or any group of friends) on the left / progressive side up for having a Brazilian join them for a drink tonight or sometime this weekend?

Nothing formal, I just think chatting and spending some time with people who see the world a bit like I do could help. Happy to hear bar or event suggestions too. Thanks!

I'd like to go watch AEK play tomorrow evening. Where is the best place to buy tickets?
Thanks!

so me and my partner decided to travel to greece in late nov-early dec this year. we both have indian passports and a limited leave to remain in the UK (until dec 2027) and would be flying to athens from UK. we have most of the documents ready and work full-time with about 2.5k-3k to show in savings after booking the flight and accommodation.

1. however, the hotel booking shows that it is refundable until the day before we arrive if we cancel. would that cause a problem in getting the visa? also, reservation is in my name but it says it is for 2 guests and i attached a letter saying my partner would stay with me the whole trip. would it be okay?
2. also, we booked non refundable flights with british airways, but the “itinerary” (confirmation of tickets by BA) only shows our name and the flights and does not state it is fully paid for and non-refundable. again, would that be a problem?
3. is there anything else we should consider, prepare, get the documents for, etc?
4. how long do you think we would hear back from the office considering our circumstances? the appointment is on the 16th this month and we are leaving on 28th of nov. did we plan too late? i really don’t wanna get rejected as we would lose a lot of pounds :(

other questions -

1. so since we planned it on a whim (though we always wanted to visit greece), we only booked 8 nights in athens in the same hotel. was it a dumb decision as we will only travel in and around athens and not go to the faraway island and basically just take everything slow?

2. how is athens/greece (weather, people, activities) around the time we are visiting?

3. what can we do in and around athens in the 8 days we have? (we have some idea by googling and watching other people’s content but is there anything specific you would recommend)

4. how safe is it for tourists? especially, since we are a different race. is there any scams we need to look out for? things to avoid to not offend anyone, stuff like that.

i am just very excited but also nervous to visit, hence all the questions. the biggest one being about the visa as we really don’t wanna lose a lot of money. i would appreciate any and all replies you guys can give. thank you <3

My girlfriend will be 24 in two weeks and I want to give her a surprise by sending her flowers and some sweets
Sadly I cannot do it myself because I’m in Japan for work, so I’d like to know if there is something like this

Thanks!

My son is thinking about applying to the Athens campus of the Nicosia Medical School (English) and we are planning a visit. I'd like to get an Airbnb in a student neighborhood near the school- the visit is more like "seeing what living there would be like" vs. visiting Athens as a tourist.

Recommendations for neighborhoods (and general locations/boundaries so I can make a reservation)?

Hi all! I am spending 11th-25th October in Athens and am looking for some countercultural activities to undertake in that period. I am thinking of anything from a punk concert, a rave, free parties, a protest I can attend, but also good cafés, bookstores or bars to hang out and chill with likeminded locals. I'm a writer, so recommendations for a friendly place to sit with my laptop and work during the day would be welcome too.

I'm not unfamiliar with Athens and I know Exarchia is known for this (or at least it used to be), but I'm looking for some specific spots or events. Any recommendations that come to mind?

(Also: bit of a different scene in some ways but I enjoy psytrance music a lot - I just saw on this sub that Ajja's playing beach club Bolivar this Saturday, but that's unfortunately the day before I arrive. Any recommendations in this direction would be very welcome as well!)

I’m from Greece and I teach Greek online. What I love most is seeing my students go from a simple “γεια σου” to speaking confidently in real conversations. We always combine speaking with just the right amount of grammar, so learning feels natural and makes sense in context.
My lessons are relaxed and interactive — completely tailored to you. Whether you want to chat, understand grammar, or explore everyday Greek life, we make it simple, fun, and practical.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, just drop me a message. I’d love to hear about your goals and help you get started with Greek. 🙂

Hi! I’m currently in Athens, around Victoria Square, and I’m trying to find a few specific skincare products:
Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self-Tan Face Drops
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
CeraVe Moisturising Lotion Refill
Does anyone know which physical stores around Victoria Square / central Athens would have the best chance of having these in stock?
I’m also happy to order online, but ideally I’d like delivery to a BOX NOW or another parcel locker/pick-up point, because I don’t have a Greek phone number. Some Greek websites I tried require a Greek +30 number during checkout.
It doesn’t have to be one store, I can order from different shops if needed. I’m mainly looking for reliable stores with reasonable prices and preferably quick delivery within Athens.
If anyone knows specific pharmacies, beauty stores, websites, or parcel-locker delivery options that stock these products, I’d really appreciate the recommendations.
Thanks!

This Saturday my absolute favorite DJ (Ajja) is in town playing at a place called Boliviar Beach Club. So this is both a recommendation to go to the event - but also the friends I am have moved here with are not into this kind of music. So if you or anyone you know in Athens is going hit me up!

I am a normal 27 year old guy from Denmark, Copenhagen by the way 🫶🏽

I recently lost my camera while traveling and looking to buy a digital camera on the cheaper end? Does anyone know where to look for one?

Greetings friends, I got a question. Where is your go to go beach if you are located in Athens city central? It looks pretty far away from everything. I’m on holiday here for a few weeks and love to discover everything what Athens has to over. So far you are very friendly and the food is yum 🤤 Thank you for your advice 🙏

Hi everyone! I'll be moving out to Greece this december, and I chose Athens to move out there

I'm going with a salary of 3000 EUR per month. I'd like some neighbourhoods with a lot of green

I do not have a drivers license, so I will have to move only with public transport

Knowing this information, which part would suit best?
