The aim of "Meet in Athens" is to help bring cosmopolitans, expatriates, international Greeks, and foreigners visiting, living and working in Athens together for meeting and helping for a good cause.

Most people prefer to organize home gatherings, house parties, pot luck international cooking parties and friendly events & such, and this is a perfect way to meet & contact new people & invite them to participate enriching everyones' life. Try this by posting your event at the main page and see how many people accept and show up. You can limit the number of people to the optimal group number you prefer, but remember the old adage: "The more the merrier"

That way and in true crowdsourcing fashion, the "Meet in Athens" group is organizing parties, get-togethers, events and causes, by the members, for the members and from the members. We choose to do this so that the friends of the group can easily follow their heart, meet up, make new friendships, share their experiences, network, hook up, play, make business links, and create. Yet the main aim is to befriend and help each other in order to be happy and content in the present life. Ahhh and of course to have fun...
Because sometimes it's great to take time out, get together and share an outsider's perspective on all things Greek and help be of service as the best of all insiders. Kind of like seeing the forest and the trees while maintaining a bit of distance and grace.
Since the group started in 2002, our members have met for a whole range of activities including, coffees, drinks, dinners, clubbing, outings, adventures, travels, book clubs, days at the beach and trips out of the city.
Under the management of the latest organizer, special Meetups about volunteering and meaningful social activities, especially for the younger (at heart) members of the group, have started to be scheduled as well.
Now we are also very keen to organize theater tours and to see great performances of ancient and modern plays in Athens as well as in other theaters around the country. 
Athens is home to 148 theatrical stages, more than any other city in the world, including the famous ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus, home to the Athens Festival, which runs from May to October each year. In addition to a large number of multiplexes, Athens plays host to a variety of romantic, open air garden cinemas. The city also supports a vast number of music venues, including the Athens Concert Hall(Megaron Moussikis), which attracts world-famous artists all year round. The Onassio stage is home to great many performances as well as the Evgenidio theatre and the theatre of Neo Kosmos notable for experimental theatre. English language plays abound in the Athens College in Psychico and the Derree college in Agia Paraskevi as well as some other local institutions offering plays of the Bard and others in English. The Epidaurus theatre also occasionally hosts English plays amidst a smattering of ancient classical Greek plays. English language plays in Athens and Epidaurus attract international audiences, like the recent one with Kevin Spacey rendition of Richard III under the director Sam Mendes who returned to Epidaurus, as they had promised, with the strong Shakespearean drama. Same goes for Herodion theater and for the many ancient theaters around Greece and Athens.
There are also many music shows and music venues and even open air festivals in Greece and some of them very near Athens in the old abandoned industrial spaces, in some stone and marble quaries, in the theaters, and even in Malakasa and other further away groovy venues, like the famed island music festivals in the Cyclades and the Dodecanese and the most remote yet beautiful and famed Samothraki rave and rock wave festival during the Summer months.  Most major international bands and soloists hold Music openings and Jazz but for a couple of shows only in Athens. And all the visiting music artists, foreign shows and music groups are easy to find from word of mouth of friends, in our Calendar of events that our member friends and our musically inclined Majordomo organizes, and from the listings of Athinorama and PR advertisements. But the best music festivals happen in the warm summer months in many open air music scenes and live music venues that are operating in Athens, in Rumeli, in Ionian, in the Peloponnese, in Crete and all over the Aegean. 
Yet for the whole year round calendar with great acts and promising artists, we invite you to develop a system of tracking those acts you follow and then post and update often in the calendar of "Meet in Athens" and share with the others as a crowdsourcing method of sharing music and performances same as we are sharing and inviting others for a house party.
Music and plays are great fun and is always good to share with others and jave a pleasant friendly group for dinner or drinks afterwards. So please select a play or music venue and invite others to join you when planning to go there.
This international group is a true melting pot of Greeks from abroad and new Greeks as well as expats serving here and working or living in Athens for some time or indefinitely... and is a great friendship area, but it is not a dating group. Go forth gently when emailing others observing international codes of email and polite behaviour.The countries represented by our six hundred plus friends, are about thirty seven states, so far and include: the UK, Spain, India, USA, Croatia, Ukraine, France, Germany, Thailand, Italy, Argentina, Romania, Belgium, Russia, Lebanon, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Holland, Sweden, Turkey, Tibet, Greece, Japan, China... and many many more.
"Meet in Athens" is a truly Cosmopolitan & International group and rather unique in that it has been organized so members can join up other people's gatherings, home parties, and also schedule all of their celebrations and participatory events here. And most importantly, they can also create their own personal pages here for social purposes, create event pages, suggest their own ideas for events, activities, causes and discussions -- so the others can join up and make them happen. 
Because of that we want you to put up your suggestions for events, gathering as well as causes right here in the group's suggested future MEETUPS.
