Advice for Moving to Athens

21 years ago
Hi. I'm an American who is considering moving to Athens with my Greek fiancee. I'd like to hear about the experiences of other Americans living in Athens--particularly those with no Greek background--in an effort to find out both the challenges AND the rewards. If you are someone who plans to live in Athens long-term, what is your advice to a new-comer, and what do you cherish most about Greece?

Things to consider...I've visited Greece several times (for vacation), so I'm a bit familiar with the cultural differences. I am also very close with my family in the U.S.

Many thanks in advance!
