The Acropolis, Temple of Apollo and Temple of Zeus were just some of the things that come into our minds when we hear Athens, Greece.

Greece, a place in Europe near the Aegean Sea, is a place popular for its tourist attractions. Scenic beauty, beautiful people and the nice climate are some of the reasons why it draws thousands of tourists each year for visit and eventually for migration.

When I was a child, I used to believe that the only available houses in a place like Athens are temples or palaces built for their gods and goddesses. So I always ask the question, Where do Greeks live? until such time that I was able to visit the country, and saw with my own naked eyes that Athens apartments definitely existed.

While on our stay there, we used to live in an Athens apartment as what they call it instead of staying in a hotel because my mother said that it was expensive and impractical. It is warm and cozy and the price is a bit lower compared to those commercial hotels available in the vicinity. Apartments in Athens ...
... didn't have any much difference compared to our own apartment but just the fact that it was located in Greece. The search for an apartment to rent was not that easy. We needed to try hard to find Athens Apartment for Rent where we can stay but I can say all the time and effort used to find one is worthwhile.

The place where we stayed there was a simple apartment made of cement with a fire place inside to give us warmth if it is cold and two rooms, one for me and another for my parents. Each day, we did nothing but to check every good place to go to. Places to dine, to shop and relax. We stayed there for two months and the experience was awesome. If there is one place in this world where I want to go back to, it would be the beautiful city of Athens, a place where people are warm and where you can always enjoy.
