Where to live near Athens airport
 

Hi All,

I am going to be moving out the Greece in January for a 6 month contract with a Greek airline flying out of Athens airport.

I was wondering what areas could be recommended that are easily commutable to the airport. I don't mind spending more for a good area. And a few expats around would be a added bonus!

Thanks for your help
Ben

Hello Ben. Places like: Porto Rafti,Spata and Coropi are very close. The first of the three is also close to the sea.:thumbup:

Hi Ben,

Normally you should pick an area easily accessible to and from Attica Road, as this is the major motorway taking you directly to AIA. Specifically, pay particular attention to any of the areas located between exit/entry 8 and 16. Porto Rafti and Spata are a safe bet but IMHO they are NOT what is considered to be a 'good area'. Yes, they definitely are next door to AIA, yet I doubt there will be any expats around.

As you're willing to spend some more money I suggest you consider Kifissia and Vrilissia, especially the later given the proximity of this small town to the entry/exit 12 of Attica Road. Although Kifissia is some way farther from the entry/exit points of Attica Road it'll give you the luxury flair you're looking. Should you stay there DON'T forget to ask for a parking space when it comes to your tenure terms.

PM for anything more.
