First time comers

Hi!

This section refers to residents in Aiantos 6 or Efxinou Pontou flat.

Grocery / Supermarket

For your daily grocery and bread you can shop at Ermis which is located at Samakoviou just before the bus stop of bus 15. 

If you like to shop for the week or so or more stuff you can visit Masoutis SuperMarket when finishing class at the University. The bus stop for 15 is just outside the super market so you can hop on and get home directly. (Aggelaki 16). (goo.gl/maps/nz29pGfJGGN2)

For bus routes and info on city buses (www.oasth.gr). There is also application available on GooglePlay. In many bus stops there is also telemetric flashing boards showing when the next bus is arriving.

ELTA is the post office in Greece. The post man comes every week and delivers only mail, for boxes you will receive a notice and will have to pick it up from the post office of Panepistimioupoli (on Egnatia street from the central library down on your right just before exiting the campus)

Hospitals

I always dreaded when I was in a new place the "What if?" and then "How much". 

In Greece all people are entitled to free access to Public Hospitals. The AXEPA is the University Hospital located inside the Uni. Gennimatas Hospital is just outside the Uni Campus on Ethnikis Amynis str. Tell them you are student and from a foreign country and need immediate help or be prepared to wait some time to be examined.
