✈️ ESSENTIAL ATHENS TRAVEL TIPS (Must-Read!)
Tickets: The combined Athens Pass is no longer available. You must purchase separate tickets for each archaeological site (e.g., Ancient Agora, Temple of Olympian Zeus).
Transport: We highly recommend using Uber in Athens for easier and more reliable rides than hailing a cab on the street.
Heat Hack: Plan your visits to the Acropolis Museum or the National Archaeological Museum during the hottest part of the day to stay cool!
Where to Eat: Our favorite food spots (Brettos Bar, Little Kook, Plaka Tavernas).

Athens is so incredible, but don't waste your vacation time figuring out transportation or waiting in massive ticket lines! 🙅♀
We put links to the best skip-the-line tickets, day trips, and fun activities (including that amazing food tour!) in the description box. Trust me, it's a lifesaver!
First-timers to Athens: What is the ONE thing you absolutely HAVE to see?
So good one, Jessica!❤
Mostly tourist traps near Monastiraki…..your wrong turn was a blessing!
Welcome to Athens, guys, enjoy Greece 😃🥰
Very good job 👍
Wish you had a great day
This is a great vlog! I definitely can’t wait to revisit Athens!
What a great trip! Thank you for sharing.
What time of year were you here?
Wait, guys, you missed some every important things on your way up to the Acropolis, like this —> 11:27 This is the Theater of Dionysus and it was the most important known open-air theater of ancient Athens. It is considered the first theater in the world. This theater hosted the Great Dionysia, the largest theatrical festival of the city of Athens. The surviving great tragedies and comedies of the 5th and 4th centuries BC, by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, and Aristophanes' comedies were written to be performed in this theater. This is where theater was born.
I live in Athens and have done for the last 30 years, if you come here bring lots of money. A coffee – 6 to 7 euros, Petrol – 1.87 euro per liter, Small Greek salad – 8 to 15 euros. Souvlaki – 4 to 5 euros, milk 1 liter 1.45 euros. Everything here is SO expensive. Even using the motorways is expensive, 2.5 euro MINIMUM. The roads are full of holes, the pavements are used to park cars on, it's terrible.
We are still here and it's amazing❤
Lucky you guys! You went right before they removed the scaffoling from parthenon :<
2 days are not enough for Athens.
You look like caryatid! Nice!
Ah yes…Spartans…always stole Athenian's horses ,now taxis…go a little bit later to the freaking gym you wardog!😁
Dress is on point! Where did you buy it?
