An Interesting Time To Move To Greece

move to Greece

It looks like I have chosen an interesting time to move to Greece! With the general election sweeping out the old order and ushering in the new, there is a strange mix of hope and uncertainty in the air. Can the anti-austerity party Syriza deliver on their promises?

Athens Street Art – A Look at Alternative Athens on a Walking Tour

Athens-street-art

During my time in the Greek capital, I have become fascinated by Athens street art. It's certainly not something that was top of my 'Must Do in Athens' list, and to be honest, not something that normally interests me at all. As the days went by however, I found myself drawn more and more towards these urban street murals. What were they for? Who was painting them? What did they mean?Walking … [Read more...]
