Athens
is a wonderful paradox
〰️ Work and stay in the heart of Athens, Greece 〰️
〰️ A short walk to amazing museums 〰️
〰️ Dozens of contemporary art galleries, project spaces and performance venues 〰️
〰️ A strong tradition of political engagement and protest 〰️
〰️ Vibrant nightlife and queer scene 〰️
Athens is, of course, an ancient city steeped in history, known for its classical architecture and archaeological treasures. Amidst the remnants of its past, though, the city boasts a vibrant arts scene, hundreds of contemporary galleries, and cultural festivals. Local artists draw inspiration from their surroundings, blending traditional themes with modern expressions. This unique juxtaposition creates a dynamic atmosphere where history and creativity coexist harmoniously.
Exarchia is our beautiful, grubby, intense, relaxed neighborhood. It’s famous for being a center of political activism and for its vibrant atmosphere of creativity and resistance. It’s not all protests, though: the neighborhood is also dotted with charming bars and cozy cafes, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors to eat with friends, sit all day with a coffee and notebook, or party all night.
