We took the liberty to write this Info-pack in order to inform you about the basic things you need to know before arriving to our country. In the following pages you will be able to find information regarding our living in Athens, transportation in Athens, the facilities of our apartment, safety, some basic vocabulary, emergency contact numbers and more. We hope you enjoy your time in our country and make the most of it. We are very delighted to host you and work together to achieve our goals and aims, giving the youth more opportunities and transforming the world to a better place. Athens Athens Athens (Αθήνα) is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence started somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC. The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Landmarks of the modern era, dating back to the establishment of Athens as the capital of the independent Greek state in 1834, include the Hellenic Parliament and the so-called "architectural trilogy of Athens", consisting of the National Library of Greece, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Academy of Athens. Athens is also home to several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, making it one of the few cities to have hosted the Olympics more than once. Living in Athens Living in Athens is way different than any other place in Greece. Nothing close in the living style of the countryside and the islands. Athens is a big and randomly expanded city of almost 5 million people. Athens is sited inside a big geographical basin, called Attica basin. The city is surrounded by sea on the south side and mountains on the north side. The southern suburbs are where most people hang out during the summer months while downtown is where most hang out during the winter. Winters tend to be mild and wet with usually zero snowfall with a lot of hours of sun during day and temperatures of 10–15 degrees on average. Weather during the summer can be very dry and hot in Athens, because of the cement and asphalt, with average temperatures of 30–35 degrees peaking usually from around 38–42 degrees to 42–45 degrees (although more rarely). Athens offers a variety of nightlife options, from luxurious expensive clubs, to sitting in a square and drinking beer. It depends on your taste. People go out a lot, even if they do not have money. People go out on weekdays, not just weekends. In Greece, our local cuisine is called Mediterranean. Mediterranean food is known to be tasty. And it is true. But you need to know where to eat, because there are a lot of touristic places that have crappy food and high prices. Ask Greeks and they will tell you where to eat. Athens is not expensive so do not be fooled by those touristy places that come with big price tags. Athens is the only European capital where the price of rent increases in the suburbs, making the center the most affordable place to live. For example, a one-bedroom apartment in the center costs usually 300 euros/month. Ancient history is a big deal for us here in Athens and it is mostly what draws tourists in our city. If you take a walk in the city center, you will see a great number of ruins all over the place. Even if you are not interested in history, it is still amusing to see how ruins blend with everything else in the city. Acropolis Hill Public Transportation Athens is served by a multitude of public transport services, including the Athens Metro, Buses, Trolleybuses the Suburban Railway and the Tram. Starting at the airport, connections to the city center are available by Metro (the Blue Line or Line 3) every half hour. There are 4 buses connecting the airport with multiple points of the city center. Those Buses are: X95: Athens Airport - Syntagma Square X96: Athens Airport - Piraeus X97: Athens Airport - Elliniko Metro Station X93: Athens Airport - Kifisos Intercity Bus Station (where buses to other cities of Greece leave from) The Suburban Railway connects the airport with the central train station of Athens (Stathmos Larissis or Larissa Station), the Port of Piraeus and the city of Corinth. Last buses, trolleys and metro are usually around midnight. After this time there are some night buses and round the clock routes which can serve you. More info on those routes can be found by pressing HERE (in English). Please keep in mind that Google Maps is fully working in Athens, and by pressing the directions button you’ll be able to view up to date info on public transport no matter where you are at the moment. We’d also like to let you know that an itinerary involving the metro will always be faster even if at first glance it doesn’t seem so, because it’s typical for Athens to experience traffic jams, which are always very time consuming. The price for a ticket that lasts 1,5 hours, is 1,40 euros, and for students, disabled, and old people it is just 0,60 euros. The monthly card is 30 and 15 euros respectively. Unemployed people move around for free. The ticket to and from the airport costs 10 Euros for the Metro and Suburban Railway and 6 Euros for the Buses. Half-price tickets are offered for the aforementioned social groups. Tips for reaching our office easily, from the airport: • Coming to our office from the airport, we would suggest taking the Metro and getting off at Ampelokipi (Αμπελόκηποι) Station. Exit the Metro Station to your right. The exit is marked as (Alexandras Ave./Panormou). Then, just outside the station, you’ll find a bus stop. From there you can take any bus or trolleybus that comes first except for 230. You should exit at “Sonia” stop and the office will be 30 seconds away from you, on your right. • Another route would be to take bus X95 to Athens and exit at “Karanika” stop. Wait at this stop till bus B5 arrives. Get on it and exit 7 stop later at “Sonia” stop. • By following THIS LINK, you’ll find an up to date itinerary in Google Maps, with real time information on how to reach our office from the airport. Below you can find a map of the Metro Network in Athens. Please keep in mind that 3 more metro stations are due to open for use in July 2020. They will be located after Aghia Marina in the western suburbs of Athens. Safety Athens is a very safe city within the European Standards. There are no indications of terrorist attacks happening in the near future, nor is Greece used to violent crime. That however does not mean that you shouldn’t care about petty crime. During your stay in Athens, you should follow common sense and be aware of your surroundings. Never follow anyone you don’t know, mind your personal belongings during your time in public transport and always lock your door at night. Pickpocketing is common in buses and the metro especially in areas like Omonoia, Metaxourgio, Attiki Square and wherever flocks of tourist gather, like Plaka and Monastiraki. Athens, as the capital city and the residence of most people living in Greece and a very touristy city, has developed a multicultural character and has no history of violent crime towards minorities of any kind (be it foreigners, immigrants and refugees, LGBT+ people and others). Always remember that in case you need help you could stop a passerby and talk to them. Chances are that they can speak English and help you in any way that they can. View from a rooftop cafe bar, in Monastiraki Square Facilities Offered Inside the Apartment - Things You Should Know Our apartment is used as the office and the home of our interns. Inside the apartment you can find a fully-fledged bedroom with two single beds, a big wardrobe, a well-equipped kitchen with cooking stove and oven, fridge and coffeemaker, a living room with a couch, a bathroom equipped with a fully sized bathtub (hot water is of course available). The kitchen and the bathroom are shared with the staff during the working hours. Free Wi-Fi is provided. The apartment has also 3 rooms which we use them as an office. There is no washing machine in the apartment but there are self-service washing machine places nearby the closest one being at Victoria Square.

  • What Role and Perspectives for Africa's Social Economy to Cope with The
    From Austerity to Growth and Recovery: Overcoming the Socio-Economic Consequences of Greece's Crisis SPEECH by Mr Luca JAHIER President of Group III 'Various Interests' of the European Economic and Social Committee INAUGURAL SESSION 20 March 2014 EN R - 1 - Your Excellencies Distinguished guests Dear friends and colleagues, It truly is a great pleasure, personally and for all members of the Various Interests Group of the European Economic and Social Committee, to be here with you today in Athens and in this exquisite building of the Zappeion Megaron. There are not many occasions in life where one can be so close to History: here we are looking out to the Parthenon, whilst standing in the Zappeion, this monument which represents the revival of those Athenian values in modern-time Greece. For the Zappeion Megaron was constructed in the 19th century to exhibit Greek art and industry during the modern Olympiads, a sort of precursor to the current Acropolis museum. The Zappeion was also the venue for the signature of the accession treaty of Greece to the EU in 1981. Hence the continuity. Indeed in Greece 'History' is inescapable, we are imbued with its memory, we are graced by its wisdom and we are humbled by its responsibility. And Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of Memory and Remembrance is also the goddess who invented words and gave humans the skill of language: to always remember our common European history and our common aspirations. Did not the French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing say in 1979 that "Europe without Greece is simply not Europe"? So today in the 6th year of the crisis, we are still united by our common quest for a sustainable, ambitious and cohesive Europe which responds to the needs of its citizens.

  • The Athenian Agora: Excavations of 1972
    THE ATHENIAN AGORA: EXCAVATIONS OF 1972 (PLATES 65-76) FROMMarch to August of 1972, the American School of Classical Studies conducted its twenty-ninth campaign of excavations in the Athenian Agora.' Although the work of the past season was concentrated entirely in areas which had begun to be cleared during the previous two years, significant results were forth- coming in five separate sectors of the excavations. Our efforts brought nearly to completion the general clearing of the northern sections bordering modern Hadrian Street, and as a result the history and disposition of the monuments at the north- western and northeastern corners of the market square can now be charted in some detail. Here there remain to be carried out only a few tests and probings of the early stratified deposits in order to verify the results of recent years' work prior to publication of the area. Our principal forces were massed on the eastern front during 1972, where the excavators succeeded in carrying out the general exploration of the large block of land lying between the south end of the Stoa of Attalos and the Market of Caesar and Augustus. Excavation of this area had commenced in 1971 at its western edge along modern Brysakiou Street, but the major part of the section remained to be opened from the modern surface at the beginning of last season. The clearing of this block provided the first evidence for the topography and architecture in a pre- viously unexplored region of the ancient city. The archaeological history of Athens was further enriched by the addition of new evidence for a period which had hitherto 1 The season of 1972 was entirely financed by the grant from the Ford Foundation which has made possible the excavations of recent years; and grateful acknowledgemnentis once again made for this support.
