Athens - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
There are a lot everywhere and within walking distance. No idea on costs. - Oct 2023
Gyms are plentiful and are similar to gyms in the US price-wise, however expect them to be jam-packed during core hours. There are a few places you can run outdoors where the roads are made for it (by the National Garden), but most of Athens is uneven marble or stone sidewalks that force you to run in the street. - Jan 2023
