Relocating to another city should be an exciting experience.

And Athens, with its mind-blowing nightlife, fascinating history, excellent weather, and magnificent coastline certainly lives up to all the fun and excitement.

However, quite a few things might be confusing, and at times, quite stressful.

Getting the hang of public transportation, doing grocery shopping, or ordering food delivery are just a few of those things.
