Ping pong #68 🏓- Monday - Renti
\*\*Same stuff, always fun! \*\*
ℹ️ **General info:**
Bats (rackets) & balls are provided by the venue (are included in the price).
The ping-pong tables have an hourly cost of 8€/hour, per table. Usually we pay 5-6€/person for the whole 1.5 hours. PLEASE, bring some cash on you, unless you have Revolut or IRIS (nope, a 50€ euro bill does not count).
**Location**:
The venue cannot be reached by metro, so you have to either take a bus or **carpool** with any attending member that will arrive via car.
ℹ️ Bus options should be fairly good, since the venue is next to a big amusement park & a mall.
ℹ️ Personally, I'll always be coming via car, so I'll have 4 available spots in my car. I can pick you from:
* **Egaleo** metro station, blue line,
* **Sepolia** metro station, red line,
* **Pallini** metro/train station
❗️ If you plan to attend via car and are willing to carpool people, please let me/us know in a PM or event discussion!
❗️ People getting carpooled should be in the agreed location **5 minutes earlier**, so that the driver is not made to wait! No excuses, just be on time (or else people won't offer to carpool any more in the future )!
⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️
Tired of Dating Apps? Try a Different Way to Meet Singles in Athens
**Tired of endless swiping and superficial speed dating?**
You’re not the only one.
Most people who join us say the same thing:
Dating started to feel rushed, performative, or strangely disconnected.
So we built something different.
Conscious Connections Club hosts Relational Labs — guided social experiences designed to spark real conversation, emotional depth, and authentic connection.
Events now run in **40+ cities across six continents**, bringing together singles who value curiosity, presence, and meaningful interaction.
Before joining an event, everyone attends a short alignment call so you can understand the space and decide if it feels like your kind of people.
**[Get the Zoom Link →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)**
***
**What Happens On The Call**
This is a 35-minute alignment call with the founder.
On the call you’ll learn:
• why this community was created
• how Relational Labs are different from speed dating or typical singles events
• how we curate intentional spaces across 40+ cities
• what actually happens at the events
• why many people return again and again
Some calls have two people, others twenty or more.
You’re welcome to simply listen and get a feel for the space.
Many people attend their first event alone — and most leave having met someone they genuinely want to see again.
Sometimes it becomes friendship.
Sometimes romance.
Often it's simply the relief of realizing you're not the only one craving deeper connection.
***
**[See If This Is Your Scene →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)**
***
**Why We Require This Call**
The introduction helps us keep events intentional, respectful, and aligned.
It also gives you the chance to decide if the experience feels right for you before joining a live event.
No pressure. Just clarity.

Latinos night💃🕺
Welcome to our new recurring event — now happening every second Friday 😃
🇱🇦 Latinos Night | Kallithea 🍹
After a hugely successful first edition, this event is officially moving forward as a bi-weekly experience. Due to demand, capacity is increasing to 15 spots (up from 10), while keeping the atmosphere exclusive, social, and high-quality.
📍 Venue: El Latino Café Bar — a hidden Latin bar in Kallithea, just a short walk from Kallithea Metro 🚇
The space is small and cozy, mostly standing, with only a few chairs. The idea is intentional: less sitting, more movement, more interaction, more real connections 🤝✨
There’s also a small area to dance if the rhythm hits 🎶💃
No tables. No formal seating. Just an open, dynamic social setup.
🎧 A DJ will be playing Latin music all night — fresh space, fresh crowd, fresh energy 🌶️🔥
We’ll also be collaborating with another group to ensure a diverse, vibrant mix of people and new connections 🌍🧩
🍹 Happy Hour: 8:30 – 10:00 PM
All drinks included. Any drink. Any cocktail — 5€ 💶
Everything is included during happy hour.
🕣 Event time: 8:30 PM – 12:30 AM
🎟 Entry: Free — but strictly limited
⚠️ Important – How to get free entry:
To secure your spot, you must DM me in advance and write “Latinos”.
Only people who DM “Latinos” will be added to the list.
Capacity is limited to 15 people only.
📍 Location:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ryquYc9KEmwhYhdw9�
I’ll be there personally to welcome everyone 🙌
Arrive early, grab a drink, move around, dance a little, connect, and experience something new in a fresh part of the city.
Discover. Connect. Enjoy.
See you there,
Mamad

Conversation and Coffee @ Belle's Bread Bakery
Hey Everyone!
Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Italian Conversation Hour
Ciao a tutt\*!
Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (**Tremont** Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.
Keeping Monday for consistency but we can discuss if there are better days/times/locations!
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
