But apartments in Athens are very affordable still, aren't they?

Yes, as well as rents. A 1BR apartment can be as low as 150€/mo or even a bit lower. It's only a few "hip" neighborhoods that are affected. Still, Athens is relatively compact and mass transit is excellent so you can easily find cheap places to live that are require less than 30 minutes of commute each way to work.

I'm not sure, I'm not in Athens, but I've been trying to find a new apartment for three years in my city and the pickings have been extremely slim.
