The town of Elefsina is a European Capital of Culture for 2023

Charalambos Andronos Located on the Thriassian Plain just a 20-minute drive along the Saronic Gulf coast from Athens, this city of around 30,000 is now largely industrialised (home for example to the country’s biggest oil refinery) but its roots reach back to ancient Hellas. Founded in the 2nd millennium BCE, it became one of the five sacred cities of ancient Greece; was the birthplace of the 5th-century BCE tragic playwright Aeschylus; and the site of the Eleusinian Mysteries, initiations…

Elvia Island cited in 'Can the Tourism Industry Survive the Climate Crisis?'

  I recently caught this in The Guardian about how tourism is inextricably connected to the global warming crisis.

      Hi Buzzy - you know, I've heard that Omonia - anchored of course by the square of the same name - is the most affordable central neighborhood for short-term rentals, more than a third cheaper than the "usual suspects" like touristy Plaka, so you might want to start by concentrating your search there.

      Hi Max, Thanks for your reply, Of course I know Omonia Square, and it is one of the neighborhoods I look at when searching. Of course, I am open to any affordable neighborhood -- Pangarati, Koukaki, etc. -- the problem is finding one using the usual sites. I was hoping this group might lead me to someone with insider information about a specific place.

    Greece is my second homeland. Nowadays it is very hard to live here, mainly because of the economic crisis that constantly gaining momentum bringing this beautiful country to ruin. Though I still can’t imagine living in another country. I grew roots here  and as long as I can, I will live here. But Why I love Greece?
