⁣
On our Europe tour, we decided to make Skopje home for a few weeks! One of the main reason is because I needed to renew my passport which is much faster outside the country.⁣
⁣
Other than that, we didn’t really know what to expect. There weren't many blogs or videos about being digital nomads here. We could only find 1 coworking space in the area but there were plenty of cafes to visit! There’s a huge cafe culture which is always nice.⁣

We had a really nice, modern, comfortable apartment in Skopje for $580 USD which was 5 minutes walking from the city center. The cost of living is pretty affordable and it’s very safe! ⁣

Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destinat Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destination in Europe! 🇵🇹Why?⁣
⁣
One word: community!⁣
⁣
According to some digital nomad statistics, loneliness is the #1 reason people leave this lifestyle. When you’re traveling alone (or even as a couple), you easily feel all alone. Thankfully, the digital nomad community is very strong, open and welcoming!⁣
⁣
Lisbon is also a popular spot because of the fast wifi (we had speeds of 500+ Mbps), endless coworking options and a relatively affordable cost of living (except the rising rental prices, of course let's be real). ⁣
⁣
Our month in this wonderful city wasn’t long enough! It’s got all the simple things we love:⁣
 ☕ specialty coffee⁣
🍷 delicious food & wine⁣
🥑 bustling brunch scene and ⁣
👯 friendly people & community⁣
⁣
We can easily see why digital nomads keep coming back to this city and we hope we can explore more of Portugal (Porto, Algrave, etc).⁣

⁣
Zagreb, Croatia has been on our minds for a while. While most people think of Split or Dubrovnik, we wanted to visit the capital and see what it’s really like for digital nomads.⁣
⁣
These are some things that we think of before choosing a destination:⁣
- Is there an active digital nomad community?⁣
- What’s the wifi speeds like?⁣
- Are there good coworking spaces?⁣
- Is the cafe culture buzzing?⁣
⁣
And so much more! Our biggest concern was the community part. After traveling Serbia alone - we were starting to feel quite lonely! We joined an FB group and found someone had set up a weekly coworking day.⁣
⁣
It’s always nerve-wracking going to events where you don’t know anyone but as digital nomads, you get acquainted pretty quick! TLDR, we had a pretty close group of 8 working from cafes together, exploring Zagreb and getting to know each other.⁣
⁣
Zagreb is a great destination in Europe for a digital nomad wanting a more affordable cost of living while still exploring Croatia! 🇭🇷⁣

⁣
…but we are SO glad we did!⁣
⁣
Serbia surprised us in so many ways, we honestly didn’t know what to expect! ⁣

That’s one of the ways we like to approach some of our travels - not judging the country by its cover. You can hear some positive (or negative) things about countries but you never truly know until you experience it for yourself. ⁣
⁣
We spent a month living in Belgrade, Serbia and it wasn’t long enough! With such limited time, as digital nomads you have to hit the ground running to get settled into your new home. We used our first 3 days to find (good) cafes to work from, sign up for a gym membership and plan our travel across Serbia.⁣
⁣
Here are some reasons we can recommend Belgrade to fellow digital nomads:⁣
- friendly, welcoming people⁣
- they have delicious food⁣
- high standard of living⁣
- relatively low cost of living⁣
- fast wifi with tons of cafes to work from ⁣
⁣
We ate countless bureks, drank copious amounts of coffee and worked from some of the coolest cafes. We can’t wait to get back to Belgrade!⁣

European Digital Nomad Summer 2022, incoming ✨⁣
⁣
After 4 months in Medellin, Colombia - we decided to head to Europe for the rest of the year!⁣
⁣
Travel planning just becomes part of your lifestyle as digital nomads - it almost becomes a side hustle. When we're not working or exploring, we are researching/booking our next destinations!⁣

🇭🇷 Croatia⁣
🇷🇸 Serbia⁣
🇫🇷 France⁣
🇳🇱 Netherlands⁣
🇵🇹 Portugal⁣
🇲🇰 North Macedonia⁣

We found flights for only $400 to London from Colombia! My lovely friend and her husband were the best hosts and showed us around their new home. We spent a week in London exploring, acclimating to this continent and working from Pret! ⁣
⁣
TTA TIP: If you're in London, Pret has a subscription service for only about £30 and you get 5 drinks per day plus a cafe space to do a little work!⁣

Figuring out where to live can be difficult as a d Figuring out where to live can be difficult as a digital nomad. Medellin is a big city to navigate but there were some areas that stood out to us. ⁣
⁣
We moved from Laureles to El Poblado in March to truly answer the question “Which neighborhood is best for digital nomads?” - there seems to always be a debate (for good reason). If you read our blog post on where to stay, you’ll know our answer 😉⁣
⁣
If you hate working from home - you’ll love your ‘office’ options in Poblado! There are endless cafes, coworking spaces and free coworking zones in the mall (yes, free!). @elopenspace, @pergaminocafe and El Tesoro Mall are some of the faves!⁣

Settling into a new country as digital nomads isn’t always easy…⁣
⁣
…We spent our first full month in Medellin, Colombia going through a list of things to sort out for ourselves (per usual).⁣
⁣
It might look like we just land in a country and have everything sorted by day 1 but that’s certainly not the case.⁣
⁣
In each country as digital nomads, you have to:⁣
- Buy a local SIM card (or find an eSIM solution - @airalocom & @realnomadtravel are our faves)⁣
- Find your local grocery store⁣
- Get connected with the digital nomad community (constantly putting ourselves out there)⁣
- Figure out where to work (coworking vs cafes)⁣
- Plan the activities we want to do while visiting the country⁣
- And so much more!⁣
⁣
We heard so much about Medellin for digital nomads, we just had to check out what all the buzz was about (especially as we run a blog for digital nomads).⁣
⁣
This was also my (Ashley’s) birthday month and we went paragliding for the first time (2nd pic). We flew with @paraglidingmedellin 💯 I absolutely loved it - if you get the chance, it was a great experience!⁣

How did we do that? Simply go on Google flights, enter Miami (where we currently were) and don’t add a destination! There was one place that popped up that was high on our digital nomad destination list - Medellin, Colombia! 🇨🇴⁣

Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ Dig Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀
Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Looking for the best cafes in Athens?

But maybe you’re after a little more than just brewtiful coffee… and you want a space where you can also get some work done?

Well, you’re in luck! Athens is becoming a popular city for digital nomads bouncing around Europe. It’s pretty obvious why – you have delicious food, great weather, beautiful islands nearby and an affordable cost of living.

There have been more and more cafes in Athens pop up that offer digital nomads (or people working remotely in general) a nice space to focus and get work done!

Matthew and I spent 2 months in Athens as digital nomads. During this time, we decide to scope out the cafe scene and find the most laptop-friendly spots for fellow digital nomads. This guide will also be helpful for you if you’re on vacation and you just need to answer a few emails or knock off a couple of hours of work with a coffee in hand!

Here are the 7 best cafes in Athens to work from if you’re a digital nomad, remote worker or simply looking to study/focus for a couple of hours.

Bottom Line: Which Are The Best Cafes In Athens Greece?

QUICK ANSWER: 7x Best Cafes In Athens To Work From

After months of testing some of the best cafes in Athens and seeing whether they are truly “laptop-friendly”, we have narrowed down our list to 7 cafes to work from if you’re a digital nomad or remote worker.

  1. Dope Roasting Co.
  2. Third Place
  3. Six Dogs
  4. Kinono
  5. The Underdog
  6. Plegma Coffee & Living
  7. KoukArt

These cafes in Athens have decent wifi speeds, good seating, plugs available to charge your laptop and of course, delicious coffee to keep you going!

7x Best Cafes In Athens Greece For Digital Nomads

Digital nomads traveling the world usually have 3 options to choose from:

  • work from a cafe
  • work from home
  • work from a coworking space

This choice always depends on you and what gets you working the best. Matthew and I differ in this case – he loves coworking spaces and I enjoy working from cafes! We find that a mix of both is actually the happy medium for the long term.

While we were living in Athens, we decided we weren’t going to work from a coworking space. We did check a few out and wrote about the coworking spaces in Athens here. But alas, we felt like we wanted to work from cafes instead.

The mission began to find the best cafes in Athens to work from for digital nomads like us. There is an endless number of cafes but not all of them are going to be “laptop-friendly”. In fact, the majority of the cafes in Athens aren’t suited for people working remotely.

Here are the 7 best cafes in Athens to work from as a digital nomad or anyone working remotely even if for a couple of hours.

1. Dope Roasting Co.

The best cafe in Athens to work from has to be Dope Roasting Co. It has everything you could ask for in a “laptop-friendly” space:

  • comfortable seating (2 levels, indoor + outdoor)
  • fast, reliable wifi (40+ Mbps)
  • excellent coffee and pastries
  • plenty of plugs available (2nd level)

Dope Roasting Co is located close to the center of Athens, a few blocks away from Monastiraki Square. The charming cafe is beautifully designed with a calming color palette and stunning interior – it’s easy to fall in the love with the place!

dope roasting co athens

They serve excellent Greek coffee and specialty coffee. Matthew was able to order his usual (a flat white) and I enjoyed having a freddo cappuccino from Dope Roasting Co. But they don’t just serve coffee! Dope offers a good selection of pastries and sandwiches to eat if you’re feeling a little peckish.

dope wifi speed

Dope Roasting Co has plenty of seating options which makes it a great place to work from. There are outdoor seats and indoor seats! We recommend sitting on the 2nd level upstairs because that’s where most of the plugs are available. It does get busy in the afternoon with quite a few Greek students coming in to study with their friends!

dope cafe work

We came here at least once a week to work and it was a breath of fresh air, especially if you’re like me and you need a change of environment!

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Always
  • Best for: Deep Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: High
  • Best time to arrive: Early in the morning to nab those comfy seats
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 4+ hours
  • Busy:Afternoon
  • Digital Nomad Rating:9/10

If you visit Dope Roasting Co in the morning, it’s much easier to grab your favorite seat! The wifi at Dope is also some of the fastest we’ve seen in Athens at around 48 Mbps. Dope Roasting Co has to be one of the best cafes in Athens to work from and you’ve got to add it to your Saved Places if you want a space to focus!

2. Third Place

We heard about Third Place because we almost went to a meetup for digital nomads here. This seems to be the spot where more long-term digital nomads like to hang out and get work done.

Third Place is a minimalistic coffee shop with specialty coffee and a good selection of pastries and a small brunch menu like avocado toast and sandwiches. If you love iced coffee like me, you are going to love Third Place! This cafe is located between Plaka and Syntagma Square – a very central area in Athens! It’s easy to get to and you won’t have trouble finding it.

It’s a modern coffee shop known amongst digital nomads because the wifi speeds are very quick and there is somewhat of a separate seating area for people using their laptops. When you order a coffee, simply say you are going to be working and they will show you the best seat!

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Always
  • Best for: Deep Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: High
  • Best time to arrive: Early in the morning to nab those comfy seats
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 2+ hours
  • Busy:Afternoon
  • Digital Nomad Rating:8.5/10

This is definitely one of the best cafes in Athens to work from because of the fast wifi and there seems to be a community of remote workers that frequently visit Third Place, making it easy to find fellow digital nomads here too.

Third Place is carefully designed and the staff is friendly! The only thing might be the seats aren’t super comfortable but you could ask for a cushion to make it comfier for you! Third Place creates a great atmosphere to get work down and focus with great music in the background.

3. Six Dogs

This modern coffee shop and bar is not your typical cafe to work from. At Six dogs, you can have good coffee, delicious food (like burgers) and fancy cocktails – it’s an all-in-one kind of place!

six dogs instagram

Six dogs is a popular place for digital nomads to get some work done but also to socialize. It’s located right in the middle of Monastiraki which you wouldn’t expect walking into the massive space with an indoor and outdoor area that can hold quite a few people. As the night goes on, a DJ might also appear and do a set on the weekend!

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Usually
  • Best for: Casual Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: High
  • Best time to arrive: Early in the morning to nab those comfy seats
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 3+ hours
  • Busy:Afternoon/Night
  • Digital Nomad Rating:8/10

The best time to work from Six dogs is in the morning. You won’t have trouble finding a seat near some plugs and it will also be a much quieter time to work. By the evening, it turns into a whole bar and eventually into a ‘club’ of some sort.

A lot of digital nomads head to Six dogs in the afternoon to finish off some casual work and they usually get drinks after work right in the same place. Six dogs are one of the best cafes in Athens to work from because you can work hard in the morning and chill (or party) all in the same place!

4. Plegma Coffee & Living

If you live a little further away from the city center of Athens like us, you might enjoy working from Plegma Coffee & Living. We stumbled along this coffee shop (and decor store) during our walk to get some pork gyros.

iced coffee at plegma athens

From the outside, it didn’t look like much other than a home decor shop but then we noticed a nice coffee machine! One of Matthew’s signs of a good coffee shop is the brand of coffee machine they use. We sat outside to do some light work and it was absolutely perfect!

working at plegma coffee

Plegma Coffee is located on a quieter street in a quiet suburb which makes it a very peaceful atmosphere. The space isn’t big but they have a small bench inside the shop which has a plug to charge your laptop. The owner is very friendly and was more than happy for us to pull out our laptops, asking if we needed wifi. The connection was very fast and it was just the place we were looking for!

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Always
  • Best for: Deep/Casual Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: Low
  • Best time to arrive: Anytime
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 3+ hours
  • Busy:Afternoon (if then)
  • Digital Nomad Rating:8.5/10

If you want a quiet, calm and small space to get some work done, Plegma Coffee & Living is one of the best cafes in Athens to do just that!

5. Kinono

Kinono is another cool cafe that also turns into a social bar. This seems to be the thing in Greece – we found a lot of cafes serving coffee and cocktails/wine in the same place. We are used to going to specialty coffee shops where all they focus on is coffee. It’s a welcome change!

kinono cafe athens

This cafe has an eclectic design with 2 floors so you won’t have trouble finding a seat. If you want a more quiet vibe, it’s best to visit Kinono in the morning. It does get a little busier in the afternoon! The best seats are on the 2nd floor if you are working with your laptop and you might eventually need a plug.

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Always
  • Best for: Deep/Casual Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: Medium
  • Best time to arrive: Early morning
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 3+ hours
  • Busy: Afternoon
  • Digital Nomad Rating: 8.5/10

Kinono is located in one of the best areas to stay in Athens called Koukaki. We stayed here during our first visit to Athens and it was the perfect distance from all the action. If you live in this area and you’re a digital nomads, Kinono is one of the best cafes in Athens to work from during the week!

6. The Underdog

Want a big, spacious cafe to work from that also serves delicious food? The Underdog has to be one of the best cafes in Athens to focus on work but also a great spot for brunch food!

the underdog athens

Some days we like to head to a cafe in the morning, order a coffee then proceed to work for a few hours. If you are getting into a good workflow and don’t want to get up from your seat for brunch or lunch – The Underdog serves great avocado toast, eggs benedict, shakshouka and more!

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Usually
  • Best for: Deep/Casual Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: High
  • Best time to arrive: Early morning
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 3+ hours
  • Busy: Afternoon/Evening
  • Digital Nomad Rating: 8.5/10

You won’t have trouble finding a seat at The Underdog. This cafe has a more industrial vibe that’s very cool and inspiring. There’s good natural daylight that comes through and there are plenty of plugs across the cafe to charge your laptop.

7. KoukArt

Want to start work early? KoukArt is a great option for you as it opens at 7:00am! KoukArt is located between the suburb of Koukaki and the Acropolis area which is pretty central.

koukart athens cafe

  • Reliable Wifi Connection: Always
  • Best for: Deep/Casual Work
  • Chances of Spotting a Digital Nomad: Low
  • Best time to arrive: Early morning
  • Maximum time before you get uncomfortable: 3+ hours
  • Busy: Afternoon
  • Digital Nomad Rating: 8/10

This cafe has limited seating but just get there early and you won’t have any issues! There are enough plugs and decent wifi to keep you on your work. KoukArt also has pretty comfortable seats which makes it a good cafe in Athens to do more deep work!

Coworking Your Thing? Try These 3x Spaces Instead

Can’t focus on work in a cafe? We get it! Everyone’s preference is different and some people just hate working from a cafe because there can be many distractions.

coworking space athens

If you want a quiet space where everyone around you is also working (which is great motivation by the way), a coworking space might be better suited for you!

Here are 3 great coworking spaces in Athens to work from instead:

  • Impact Hub Athens
  • Vios Coworking Athens
  • Selina Athens

You can usually buy a day pass to test out each coworking space before committing to a month. We suggest doing this early in Athens so if you decide you want to cowork (instead of working from cafes) then you can make the most of the monthly unlimited memberships!

Bottom Line: Which Are The Best Cafes In Athens Greece?

Matthew and I first visited Athens in 2019 during our honeymoon and we checked out some cafes because we are bonafide coffee lovers. And we hated the coffee!

We came back in 2021 to live in Athens and guess what?! The city has had a movement of third wave coffee sweep across. If you’re a serious coffee lover like us, our specialty coffee guide might be worth a read! This was such a wonderful surprise for us – we knew we had to scope out the best cafes in Athens to work from since realizing the coffee scene has grown!

The best cafes in Athens to work from (in our opinion) are Dope Roasting Co, Third Place and Kinono! All of these spots have reliable wifi, plenty of plugs and a great atmosphere for digital nomads or remote workers to get work done!

⁣
Zagreb, Croatia has been on our minds for a while. While most people think of Split or Dubrovnik, we wanted to visit the capital and see what it’s really like for digital nomads.⁣
⁣
These are some things that we think of before choosing a destination:⁣
- Is there an active digital nomad community?⁣
- What’s the wifi speeds like?⁣
- Are there good coworking spaces?⁣
- Is the cafe culture buzzing?⁣
⁣
And so much more! Our biggest concern was the community part. After traveling Serbia alone - we were starting to feel quite lonely! We joined an FB group and found someone had set up a weekly coworking day.⁣
⁣
It’s always nerve-wracking going to events where you don’t know anyone but as digital nomads, you get acquainted pretty quick! TLDR, we had a pretty close group of 8 working from cafes together, exploring Zagreb and getting to know each other.⁣
⁣
Zagreb is a great destination in Europe for a digital nomad wanting a more affordable cost of living while still exploring Croatia! 🇭🇷⁣

Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣ ⁣ Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣
⁣
…but we are SO glad we did!⁣
⁣
Serbia surprised us in so many ways, we honestly didn’t know what to expect! ⁣
⁣
That’s one of the ways we like to approach some of our travels - not judging the country by its cover. You can hear some positive (or negative) things about countries but you never truly know until you experience it for yourself. ⁣
⁣
We spent a month living in Belgrade, Serbia and it wasn’t long enough! With such limited time, as digital nomads you have to hit the ground running to get settled into your new home. We used our first 3 days to find (good) cafes to work from, sign up for a gym membership and plan our travel across Serbia.⁣
⁣
Here are some reasons we can recommend Belgrade to fellow digital nomads:⁣
- friendly, welcoming people⁣
- they have delicious food⁣
- high standard of living⁣
- relatively low cost of living⁣
- fast wifi with tons of cafes to work from ⁣
⁣
We ate countless bureks, drank copious amounts of coffee and worked from some of the coolest cafes. We can’t wait to get back to Belgrade!⁣
⁣
Serbia, you stole our hearts!⁣

European Digital Nomad Summer 2022, incoming ✨⁣
⁣
After 4 months in Medellin, Colombia - we decided to head to Europe for the rest of the year!⁣
⁣
Travel planning just becomes part of your lifestyle as digital nomads - it almost becomes a side hustle. When we're not working or exploring, we are researching/booking our next destinations!⁣
⁣
What countries did we decide on?⁣
🇬🇧 England⁣
🇦🇹 Austria⁣
🇭🇷 Croatia⁣
🇷🇸 Serbia⁣
🇫🇷 France⁣
🇳🇱 Netherlands⁣
🇵🇹 Portugal⁣
🇲🇰 North Macedonia⁣
and finally, a last-minute decision to visit...⁣
🇨🇾 Cyprus⁣
⁣
We found flights for only $400 to London from Colombia! My lovely friend and her husband were the best hosts and showed us around their new home. We spent a week in London exploring, acclimating to this continent and working from Pret! ⁣
⁣
TTA TIP: If you're in London, Pret has a subscription service for only about £30 and you get 5 drinks per day plus a cafe space to do a little work!⁣
⁣
*I'm going to be recapping the rest of our 2022 as digital nomads for the next few posts, we are currently in Asia🤪 ⁣

Figuring out where to live can be difficult as a d Figuring out where to live can be difficult as a digital nomad. Medellin is a big city to navigate but there were some areas that stood out to us. ⁣
⁣
We moved from Laureles to El Poblado in March to truly answer the question “Which neighborhood is best for digital nomads?” - there seems to always be a debate (for good reason). If you read our blog post on where to stay, you’ll know our answer 😉⁣
⁣
If you hate working from home - you’ll love your ‘office’ options in Poblado! There are endless cafes, coworking spaces and free coworking zones in the mall (yes, free!). @elopenspace, @pergaminocafe and El Tesoro Mall are some of the faves!⁣
⁣
Medellin, Colombia continued to impress us and we’re so glad we ended up staying here for 4 months in 2022!⁣

Settling into a new country as digital nomads isn’t always easy…⁣
⁣
…We spent our first full month in Medellin, Colombia going through a list of things to sort out for ourselves (per usual).⁣
⁣
It might look like we just land in a country and have everything sorted by day 1 but that’s certainly not the case.⁣
⁣
In each country as digital nomads, you have to:⁣
- Buy a local SIM card (or find an eSIM solution - @airalocom & @realnomadtravel are our faves)⁣
- Find your local grocery store⁣
- Get connected with the digital nomad community (constantly putting ourselves out there)⁣
- Figure out where to work (coworking vs cafes)⁣
- Plan the activities we want to do while visiting the country⁣
- And so much more!⁣
⁣
We heard so much about Medellin for digital nomads, we just had to check out what all the buzz was about (especially as we run a blog for digital nomads).⁣
⁣
This was also my (Ashley’s) birthday month and we went paragliding for the first time (2nd pic). We flew with @paraglidingmedellin 💯 I absolutely loved it - if you get the chance, it was a great experience!⁣

2022 didn’t start off as we expected…⁣
⁣
…lying on the beach in Thailand, one of our favorite places in the world. 🌴⁣
⁣
Instead, we were touring a couple more US cities: Phoenix, San Francisco and Miami! At this point, we didn’t know how our year would look but we just needed to nail down our next location as digital nomads.⁣
⁣
How did we do that? Simply go on Google flights, enter Miami (where we currently were) and don’t add a destination! There was one place that popped up that was high on our digital nomad destination list - Medellin, Colombia! 🇨🇴⁣
⁣
For $245.15 USD total, Matthew and I hopped on a 2 hour plane ride to a country (and continent) we’ve never stepped foot on before! 🥹⁣
⁣
We were tired of flying and traveling (faster than usual) and we decided to make Medellin our base for a few months but that’s for the next couple of posts to come…⁣

Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ Dig Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️

Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍
