Page 7 - Athens New Comers Guide 2022

a botanical garden, and to historical
sightseeing, it comes as no surprise
to Athenians when our city makes
superlative lists such as the
“Coolest City to Visit in Each State” by
The Discoverer blog.
• Community Spirit: The Athenian
spirit is contagious, whether in
cheering waves of red and black in
Sanford Stadium supporting the
Georgia Bulldogs, or at AthFest
swaying to the sounds of up-and-
coming musicians. Athens was
named the “South’s Best College
Town,” Southern Living, March 2022,
and #1 “Best Music Cities to Live in,”
CubeSmart.com, August 2019,
among other accolades.
• Small-town Vibe: Athens is a small
city, but if you’re seeking a place that
is even more compact, consider
the City of Winterville, or the Town of
Bogart, also in Athens-Clarke County.
Winterville (pop. 1,201) and Bogart
(pop. 1,326) maintain active and lively
“screen-door” communities rich in
arts, music, and social opportunities.

Athens, Georgia is on a journey to a better
tomorrow, and you’re invited.
