How do I meet people in Greece?

When we asked people living in Greece about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Expats in Greece often join local clubs and activities such as language classes, sports teams, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people by attending local festivals, visiting museums, or exploring the local markets. Additionally, many expats join online forums and social media groups to connect with other expats living in Greece. Finally, expats can also meet people by attending local meetups, networking events, and social gatherings," wrote a member who made the move to Greece.
