Meet in Athens started life in September 2005 when three people met in an online discussion forum while looking for other expats in Athens. One of them took the initiative and set up a fledgling group with the aim of getting people to meet up in person. Shortly after, they met for a coffee somewhere in the centre of Athens and with the active participation of those early members, MIA was born.
Of course, there are thousands of expats in Athens and quite a few other groups, but nothing quite like MIA.
A little time has passed and there is now a steady flow of new members joining the group every week, a lot of good friendships have developed and we have already had to say goodbye to friends who have moved on. We are still awaiting the first MIA wedding, but that surely cannot be far off now! Come on people!
The following countries are represented by our past and present members:
Albania Argentina Australia Belgium Bulgaria Canada Czech Republic Egypt England France Germany India Ireland Italy Jordan Latvia Lebanon Netherlands Romania Russia Scotland Serbia South Africa Spain Sweden Thailand Turkey United States
