I dragged my BF and my mom along for the tbex conference in Greece last May, we went early and spent 3 days in Athens.... absolutely fell in love with the city.
I wish I would have seen your tip for rooftop restaurants, we didn't visit any ...I guess I'll just have to go back....oh darn 🤣❤

Your video is by far one of the best videos on Athens

It is very informative and the way you explained everything is very helpful for first time visitors like me

[lbrayford]

Thanks for the great video. We will be in Athens for three days mid August before getting on a cruise. I’m watching lots of videos to get an idea of what we should see and do while we are there. We’re staying in the Monastiraki area.

Thank you for great vdo🎉 I learned there are two entrance to get into Acropolis. Which one did you use to get to Acropolis so fast? Thanks.

[karenhabian]

Where would you suggest to stay in Athens?our first time Plaka? Around $150 per night. I love your videos!!

[kimreid]

What hotel near Acropolis have you stayed in and do you recommend?

[susiewaldo]

Which sites did you uber between? We’re coming off a cruise and trying to make the most of our one day before flying back to US the next morning.

[sah_hill]

Love the video, it has really helped me plan my trip! Just wondering what the pass DOESNT include from all the sites in the video as I will be following your video to the T and want to know what I need to buy separately to avoid waiting ect.

[Sharon-png]

How long does it take to walk to the top of the Acropolis ?

[pierrechau]

Thank you for your video, we will be there for 3 days, what is the best way to leave Plaka to Airport, I carried some expensive cameras, is it safe to take the tram, pickpocket?

[HartsGap]

How efficient is public transit? (Bus, subway etc...). Is it safe?
