This research intends to portray the daily lives of six adult refugees, men, and women, who have been long-term residents at Eleonas Open Accommodation Facility a refugee camp near Athens center. Refugee camps, in general, have existed for at least a century. Their goal is to support immediately and temporarily refugee populations in need. In Greece, refugee camps were named ‘Open Accommodation Facilities’. They were temporary solutions to support the most vulnerable asylum seekers through 2015’s refugee “crisis” after the EU-Turkey Statement on 18th March 2016. Camp’s temporality, however, assumed a relativel long-term dimension. This study makes an effort to present the spatial and temporal dimensions of refugees’ daily lives, and relationships with others, including their family, friends, and staff, in addition to the services they received, by utilizing interviews with refugees as a frame of reference. The Camp, through their narratives, was a safe but also a suffocating space. Safe space since the Camp protected them from homelessness and unemployment, yet suffocating because they felt trapped. They lived in the Camp as an intermediate stage. Apart from the fact that the Camp closed, refugees narrated their experiences, thoughts, and plans. Their narratives suggested that the Camp appeared to have several characteristics of a total institution and did not oriented to integration. Refugees’ future continued to depend on their asylum request’s advancement and, subsequently, on the personal strategies they would establish.
