NEW LIFE......

hi kalithea is nice,means ...good view...its a good area,highly populated.lots of traffic but close to the sea,nice cafes,restaurants,some lovely older houses.look for cheap rent because they are cheaper now,if you are on your own you could find a studio flat for about 200 a month,be careful of extra fees like cleaning,lighting,heating oil etc..make sure you only have your separate heating.Will you have your health care covered from your employer? because if not how do you intend to cover yourself,you can take nothing here unless you and employer are paying into the system.If you live near your job you will not have travelling costs.

thanks a lot concertina for the advise i realy do need them,about the health cover will be covered by the employer so its handy i guess ,will be moving in 3 weeks time

I wish you a good move over to Athens and a great start in your job.
