    Few cities in the world rival the antiquity of Athens, where people have lived continuously for thousands of years. Athenians created the first forms of democracy, the plays and philosophy that shaped Western civilisation, and the classical buildings that still dot the Acropolis.

    Amid the ancient ruins, another survivor of the centuries is the Greek concept of philoxenia – a term that directly translates as “love of strangers”, but which locals define more as a warmth that makes foreigners feel immediately welcomed when they come to the capital city. “The people can be very hospitable and friendly,” agreed Julian Williams, who moved from London in 2009.

    Though more than 4.5 million people visit the city every year to delve into its past, Athens has plenty in its present to make it worth staying for the longer term. The always-on atmosphere of Athens attracts Greeks and expats alike. “Athens is a buzzing city. No matter when you go out you will see the cafes and bars filled with people having a good time”, said Chrissy Manika, an Athens native and blogger.
