The end of the school year came and most of the parents are wondering what their children will do until they take their summer vacation… Are they too young to send them at a summer camp? Wouldn’t it be boring for them to send them for the whole summer to their grandparents? For the parents who work in Athens there are various solutions which are financially very appropriate.

First find out if there is a daily program with pursuits for children organized by your municipality. Most of the municipalities are organizing various activities for children during the summer holiday which will cost somewhere between 50 and 100 euro per month. The only thing you need to get for you little child is a summer hat a sun lotion, a bathing suit, a towel and flip flops in a bag and he or she will have a wonderful summer even in town!
