Approximately 18,000 refugees are now in Athens, the mayor of the Greek capital Giorgos Kaminis on Wednesday said during the presentation of the Hellenic Observatory’s surveys.
The three surveys were carried out at the Eleonas accommodation centre as well as apartments rented to migrants.
According to the surveys, a 66 percent of the citizens of Athens say that the migrants and refugees do not cause any problems in their neighborhood.
At the Eleonas refugee camp, the average age is 20 years old, while only 5 percent of them wish to remain in Greece, the surveys added.
