Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

28/FtM looking for company

Hey Athenians, I'm a 28 years old trans man and I came to Athens to explore the city and also meet other LGBT people.

I'm not a bargoer and prefer to connect with someone in a surrounding that's not party related. My interests are archaeology, ancient history, and creative activities like painting/museums/pottery.

If you vibe with that, I am very happy to hang out! I'll also give more details about myself in private messages.

Have a great night everyone! 🙂

23 M4F Coptic Orthodox, Living in Italy

Hello dears! I'm just like so many, looking for a truthful partner. I came to Athens on a business visit before, and it felt like home in Cairo. Also, the people around were more than friendly. I hope this sub would help me find my one.

I actually never thought I'd consider online dating, but to be honest, I'm focusing so much on my career and studies and it keeps getting intense over time. I think my chances of meeting someone around naturally are getting lower, due to my tight schedule, so here we are.

I recently relocated to Rome as a Graduate Student to study a specific field in Aerospace Engineering (a double major), now also working in this field, Part-time pilot-in-training, full-time explorer, and a bit of an entrepreneur.

I'm Egyptian, so I look like most Mediterraneans. I don't mind sharing my photos in the DMs, but to give you a headlight, I've black hair, white skin and 174 cms tall. I'm maintaining a good physique, though not athletic 😂

I'm a Coptic Orthodox Christian by birth, and a practicing deacon.

I'm highly considering PhD and PostDoc opportunities in the future, but will stay in Rome since this field i'm specializing in is located nowhere in Europe better than Rome. That said, I'd truly love if she would consider relocating to Rome as well.

I love anything that involves traveling, learning something completely new, or working with my hands to build a cool project. Looking for someone who brings their own passions to the table, laughs easily, and build a life together.

Researching advices and people

Γειά σας !

I (French M 24) will be alone in Athens next week for some days after one month in Ζάκυνθος

I'm searching for english or french speaking people around my age to show me some great places in the city that I would miss as a tourist with no local hints (and a good φρέντο εσπρέσο place for the morning 😭), grab some beers or just not spend all my days alone 🤷

I'm starting to get some greek words and sentences but not enough to have a full conversation so if you want to make fun of me I'm okay with that lmao (as long as I can laugh about your french level too)

My DMs are open if you have questions or if you want to give me advices !

Εφαρμοστό πολύ ! ✨

looking for friends in athens

will be in athens for 3 months to test my compatibility with the city, as i plan to move in with my boyfriend in the near future.

im generally a shyer introvert but i can be friendly and conversational. i long for meaningful and deep friendships with people, especially other women, talking about everything under the sun; life, love, philosophy, pain, art and music, technology and morality.

i find greek people to be lovely (quite passionate people, haha) and animated. some are quite different and may take time for me to slowly warm up to, as i am asian, but many ive found to be sweethearts (women, in particular).

would love to befriend and get to know/ learn about others and make new friends if we form a connection. please hit me up if you're also looking for a genuine friendship to be raw and vulnerable and your most authentic self. will share details if you share yours!

Meeting likeminded people

German guy in his mid 30s looking to break the circle of not meeting new people on the regular. Meeting new people always have the possibility of bringing new input, new experiences and new perspectives and I am lacking that :-)

Everyone is welcome to write and we can take it from there! Others can feel free to use the thread to connect as well.

2 Ερωτήσεις για την Αθήνα από άσχετο Επαρχιώτη

  1. Όταν έρχεσαι μέσω Εθνικής στην Αθήνα (πες ότι ξεκινάς από Λάρισα) πότε σταματάει αυτό που λέμε "Εθνική Οδός" και μετά τι ακριβώς αρχίζει;

  2. Τι είναι ο Ηλεκτρικός και ο Προαστιακός; Επίσης το μετρό στην Αθήνα γίνεται υπέργειο σε κάποιο σημείο και εκεί κάπως συνδέεται με τον ηλεκτρικό ή καμία σχέση;

Ξέρω ότι παρά πολλοί θα γελάσετε με τις απορίες μου, αλλά προτιμώ σαφείς απαντήσεις όσο γίνεται. Και λίγη κατανόηση.

Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων! 👍

Όσοι είστε 26 χρονών σε τι φάση βρίσκεστε;

Αύριο γίνομαι 26 χρονών, εγώ τώρα τελείωσα τις σπουδές μου και γενικά έχει χρόνια να έχω επαφή με άτομα της ηλικίας μου, οπότε αναρωτιέμαι σε τι φάση βρίσκεται ένας μέσος/μια μέση 26 χρόνος/χρόνη;

Κυψέλη – είναι ασφαλής για μια κοπέλα που γυρίζει μόνη το βράδυ;

Καλησπέρα! 😊 Πρόκειται να μετακομίσω στην Κυψέλη και επειδή είμαι κοπέλα και θα κυκλοφορώ αρκετά μόνη μου, έχω μια μικρή ανησυχία για την ασφάλεια.

Συνήθως θα χρειάζεται να επιστρέφω σπίτι γύρω στις **22:00–22:30**. Πώς είναι η περιοχή εκείνες τις ώρες; Θα λέγατε ότι είναι οκ να γυρίζει μια κοπέλα μόνη της ή χρειάζεται αρκετή προσοχή;

Επίσης, αν υπάρχουν **συγκεκριμένοι δρόμοι/σημεία που καλό είναι να αποφεύγω**, θα ήθελα πολύ να μου πείτε.
Δεν ψάχνω να ακούσω μόνο «η Κυψέλη είναι επικίνδυνη/δεν είναι επικίνδυνη» — με ενδιαφέρει περισσότερο η πραγματική εμπειρία ανθρώπων που μένουν εκεί, ειδικά γυναικών.

Εναλλακτικές για γάμο 50–70 ατόμων στην Αττική (τέλη Ιουλίου 2027, budget <7.000€ συνολικά);

Γεια σας παιδιά! Ψάχνουμε με την σύντροφό μου προτάσεις για χώρο δεξίωσης γάμου εντός** Αττικής για 50 έως 70 άτομ**α (50 minimum, τα 80 είναι το απόλυτο όριο για εμάς).

Ημερομηνίες**:** Τέλη Ιουλίου 2027 (στοχεύουμε σε Παρασκευή 30/07/2027 ή Σάββατο 31/07/2027).

Εκκλησία**:** Ιδανικά** θέλουμε γραφικό εκκλησάκι ΕΝΤΟΣ του χώρου/κτήμ**ατος για να γίνουν όλα στο ίδιο σημείο. Σε περίπτωση που δε βρούμε κάτι, είμαστε ανοιχτοί και στο σενάριο για εκκλησία ξεχωριστά

Αυστηρό Budget: Κάτω** **από 7.000€ συνολικά (χώρος, φαγητό, ποτό + βασικά έξοδα, δηλαδή max ~60€–75€/άτομο για το catering/venue).

Περιοχή**:** Οπουδήποτε εντός Αττικής (Μεσόγεια, Κορωπί, Μαρκόπουλο, Κερατέα, Παραλιακή/Ριβιέρα, Βόρεια ή Ανατολική Αττική).

Το** πρόβλημα:**
Τα περισσότερα κτήματα ζητούν αυστηρό minimum 100 ατόμων για Παρασκευή/Σάββατο το καλοκαίρι, ενώ όσα έχουν χαμηλότερα minimums μας φαίνονται λίγο παραπάνω basic/οικογενειακά από αυτό που θέλουμε αισθητικά.

Τι** ψάχνουμε:**

Boutique Κτήματα / Χώρους** στην **Αττική (με εκκλησάκι εντός κατά προτίμηση), που να φιλοξενούν άνετα 50–70 άτομα Παρασκευή/Σάββατο χωρίς μεγάλο όριο πχ 100 ατόμων.

Άλλους χώρους εντός Αττικής για γάμο ακόμα και χωρίς εκκλησία για 50-70 άτομα με λιγότερα από 7000 ευρώ σύνολο

Ευχαριστώ !

advice on airport transportation

Hi! Previously, I’ve travelled to and from Venizelos by X95 or metro, but those were always during regular hours. During my next travel I’ll be arriving in Athens around 3 a.m., so I’ll probably be out of the airport by around 4 a.m. Since I’m staying near Evangelismos, I thought I could just take the X95, but I’m not so sure about taking it that early in the morning. As an alternative, would you recommend using FreeNow or just taking an airport taxi? And how does FreeNow work at the airport?

Basically, I’m choosing between an uncomfortable and potentially scary commute on the X95 and the possibility of getting scammed by an airport taxi haha. Looking forward to your recommendations.
