I Found a Secret View of Athens - Exploring Neos Kosmos | Living in Greece

While I was back in Athens, I stayed in the area called Neos Kosmos and did a bit of exploring. I found a secret view of Athens I had not heard of and shopped at the weekly laiki, street market. I finally visited one of the many museums that I haven't made it to yet as well. @emstathens Come explore Athens with me!

    I used to live in Neos Kosmos for 5 years and I loved the neighbourhood which was quiet and friendly. The most important factor was that it is close to the centre and you can use buses, metro or tram to get there, since I dont own a car.. If you are lucky and find an appartment..just enjoy the area..there are lots of nice open areas here and there to sit and chill but you have to search for them, and a lot nicer area is close by called Nea Smirni..have fun during the holidays! ( I had to install the airconditioning units at the appartment that I was staying so its not so bad, since I took them with me to the next flat once I left..)

    We are still back and forth between Athens and Chania. We are going to spend 20 days in both places and then decide after that. At at this point with selling all our things and moving, plus not having been there for over 2 years, I think visiting is the only way we’ll have any confidence in our decision! Lol

Quality of life is better here and the suburban surroundings are far better for raising children. On the other hand I do miss the old friends. The place has changed a bit due to the metro and tram, I left when it was starting to become "trendy". I do not regret my decision though, and I can always visit.
