Athens is one of the cheapest city breaks in Europe. So exactly the right destination for travel duo Tamina Kallert and cameraman Uwe Irnsinger in a new episode "2 for 300". With 300 euros in your pocket including an overnight stay, you can go to the Greek capital for a weekend. (You can find more city trips with Tamina and Uwe, e.g. their tour through Porto, in the ARD media library: 1.ard.de/2fuer300-athen-?yt=t)
00:00 Greeting
01:38 Arrival in the "insider tip" district of Psiri
07:18 From Panathenaic Stadium to Plaka
12:33 Greek dishes with a twist
15:40 Changing of the guard, art and flea market
20:16 Ancient sightseeing and pottery making in Monastiraki district
24:21 Levantine street food and stroll in the old town
28:10 Conclusion & farewell
Tamina and Uwe discover many unexpected highlights between ancient and modern culture. One thing in particular stands out in the contrasting old town district of Psiri: colorful street art wherever you look. "Psiri is such an exciting mixture of an open-air gallery and a political statement," says Tamina. Present everywhere and in complete contrast is Athens' ancient face. But visiting the Acropolis comes with a price.
Away from the expensive sights, the two travel experts also find attractive highlights: whether the Olympic stadium or real Greek ceramic art - antiquity can be experienced up close even on a tight budget. Another treat: the Greek meze culture: "The cuisine here is so diverse and delicious!" enthuses Uwe.
At the end of the trip, the two of them are certain: “You really get a lot for your money in Athens. Such a modern, exciting city and the people are so welcoming! We will be back."
