Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Athens

These are some of the pros and cons of living in a shared apartment in the Greek capital:

Advantages of sharing a flat in Athens

  • If you have a Greek roommate, you're in for some warm hospitality. Greeks are known for being generous and welcoming, making it easier for you to integrate into the local culture.
  • Sharing a flat reduces your rent expenses, allowing you to afford accommodation in more central areas, such as Ano Plaka, Katao Plaka, Pagkrati, or Ampelokipoi.
  • Saving on rent means you’ll have more money to spend on activities in the city and on trips to nearby places and Greek islands like Santorini, Ios, and Rhodes.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Athens

  • If your room is in a student residence, you’ll have to follow the building’s rules, which can feel restrictive compared to living in a private shared flat.
  • Some apartments might have old floors or appliances, leading to occasional problems with the washing machine, kitchen, or heating. It’s a good idea to maintain a friendly relationship with your landlord, as they’re usually reasonable and responsive about fixing these problems.
