Athens - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?

Yes, for all I think. - Oct 2023


Couples are ideal…ease of travel….great restaurants..perfect for couples. Great for families with small number of kids that aren’t too old. Big families seem to have some challenges, but I can’t really speak to that. - Jan 2023


In my opinion, this is a much easier post for those without children or pets. - Mar 2022


I think good for all. Tons to do for everyone, from bars and clubs to movies, a zoo, adventure parks, paintball, etc. - Jan 2020


Great family post. - Mar 2018


Yes. Greece has something for everyone. - Feb 2018


Everyone can enjoy Greece. - Oct 2017


I think it is an excellent city for everyone since it has so much to offer. Families love it since there are plenty of parks, malls, museums which plan kid friendly activities, ec. Singles and couples love it since there is a great dining out scene and cafe culture that encourages meeting people. I have heard it is difficult as a single woman here though. - Dec 2016


Good for all. - Sep 2013


Absolutely! Even though I would definitely spend a lot of time traveling the islands, as well as the other interesting places in the interior of the country. Not many parks in Athens, but miles of beaches in the south-east and west/south-west of Attica, the prefecture (state) where Athens is located. - Jul 2012


Yes. - Jun 2010


Great for all. Greeks adore children. There are lots of things to do as a family, single or couple. - Jan 2009


Yes on all counts. Single women often date Greeks and seem to like it better here than single men. The local women are not as attractive as other Europeans to most men. - Dec 2008


Yes to all of the above if you're flexible and can handle a few challenges. - Jun 2008
