How are things in Athens right now?
Can you still get euros out of the ATMs or has the supply of cash dried up yet?

Hi, here in center of Athens is not like you'll have all this things in one place, you must look in all Athens, I think. But maybe in Glyfada you will find massage easyer, is more "fancy" part of Athens...I saw direction Glyfada from tram several fitness center. I don't see this in Sintagma or Omonia;) and there is everything more expensive, maybe quality is good too;) Is rich part of Athens

If you want many shops like this you must go Germany or other country. Here they don't have some China-city or something like that, and I don't see many Chinese an Jap. Restaurants..good luck
