Egg Donation in Greece #5

[Nilza79]

@ Alicat77 so u would recommend plaka?? Did u airbnb??

[Alicat77]

I did airbnb near the clinic which was lovely and cheap, it was just a bit of a walk to the city centre. So most days I had to go out for the whole day rather than being able to come and go from my hotel/apartment. Airbnb much cheaper and gives you more freedom. In terms of area plaka is very central. The only advice in the city area I can give is stay away from the The Astor in Syntagma, we stayed there for one night and it was terrible. Most of the things you will want to see in Athens will be in the Plaka, Syntagma, Monastirki, Acropolis area. I would plan to go the Islands for as much time as you can. Also if you can get to Nafplio outside of Athens you won't be disappointed.

Hi I am off to Athens-mid to late may next month for egg/sperm donor cycle. Going on my own as my partner cannot come. Is anyone else off to there next month.

I have a Citibank debit card for the upcoming trip and I'm starting to get worried about how much money I can withdraw from a Greek ATM. Anyone who has withdrawn money using an Australian card at the Greek ATM?? What are the daily limits? Depends on my card limit or the local Greek limit (capital control measures)??

@Charlie 74
It took me awhile & once i did i wish we started the process sooner. I was heading back to check bloods before our last ivf treatment ( well that's what hubs thought i would have wanted to keep going) the doc told me i was in perimenapause at age 44 & i initially felt devastated but in hindsight it was a positive step for me to not keep trying at this age & waste money, time & heartache when the odds are so low.. from there it took me 24hours of tears & a few days to investigate & decide on our next path. Within two weeks of that doc appointment i was booked in for May with Dr Nikos. We leave in just over week. Its been a journey for us all & a time for positivity & a little baby dust x

Hi @missjaay i use citibank too when i go to athens so i have done this myself. You can withdraw $1000aud, which is about 600euro perday in cash ftom atm. Eftpos and credit electronic payments are unlimited. Also make sure you ring your banks and inform them dates and location of when u r overseas so they dont cancel/block your cards. :-)

@missjay we where able to withdraw up to $1,200 euro from a machine at a time. If we needed more money we went to another machine lol
