I love when you film in Athens at different times of the year. I would love to be there in April, but my teaching schedule doesn't let me, so we have to always go in the summer. Perfect weather right now! Cheers.

We went to MS Roof Garden twice during our trip to Athens last month. We had a great view and perfect picture window table with a view of the Acropolis at sunset both times.

Lucky you! I wasn’t offered that option. But I was alone.

@historical_lisa315 4 месяца назад

@@agirlandherpassportI wondered how we got so lucky both nights, a week apart. Now I feel extra blessed. I really appreciate your videos. They made me feel much more confident negotiating the city solo. The only strange moment I had was walking to the National Archaeological Museum. Google maps sent me to a building just south of it which led me to a graffiti filled courtyard of a university or something that was like a communist or anarchist/Antifa encampment!! Surreal…but one block more and I made it to the Museum.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

@historical_lisa315 You were. I’m so happy to hear that. It’s a university. As you saw it’s close but not sure why Google maps sent you there. You made it though!

In days of old Athens was always a place that you passed through rather than stopped at but the UK press and I suspect the press/media in other countries are now pushing Athens as a destination in its own right. Thanks for the video.

For better rooftop views. Try the Attalos Hotel and the Athens Center Square Hotel. Both on Athinas Street. Drop dead gorgeous views of the Acropolis.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

The Attalos usually doesn’t let you go up if you aren’t staying. There are tons but I was tired so this is where I under up.

Not sure if you've ever done a video walking through a Laïki. I remember seeing videos of stuff you bought in Laïki. I like shopping there even though not necessarily cheaper than a supermarket

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

They have been in several. It is usually is cheaper but it’s seasonal.

@andrzejkorytkowski8151 4 месяца назад

love visiting Pireas while being in Athens. These walks around the port area and further up and down even to Limani Zeas and Peiraiki are amazing.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

They are. Hopefully, a full length on Piraeus one day.

@Rousseau4469 4 месяца назад

As a local in Piraeus I suggest to stroll to the two sides of port of Zeas. On the right you will come about to the Merchant port. While on the other you will reach the smallest of three ports Pireas has the Mikrolimano port where only fishing boats are and small yachts. Finally going up the hill of Kastella late in the afternoon and staying for a dinner to one of the restaurants on an evening summer especially is a must. On the terrace of Rigas restraint or on the balcony of Ladokolla you will find the best view in Attica. Almost all of Athens is visible and a big part of its Riviera.

@moonwalker9266 4 месяца назад

Dunno maybe because we've had an extremely mild winter this year but tourists have been in Athens all this year it seems. I've gone to the center quite a few times along with my kids and it seemed to me to be always crowded with tourists.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

Even with winter being normal, I think it’s still mild relatively so they come all year to Athens but it seems more every year.

@nomicucce987 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I just came back from Athens. I've been contemplating the idea of doing a long term airbnb stay, you know a few months for a while. But then I keep asking myself "Do you really want to be in a crowded city? Is that what you want?" The answer is I guess sometimes yes sometimes no. Do you know Blueground? Have you ever rented a place with them? It looks a bit expensive but the flats are really nice.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

I have not rented from them as it’s very expensive. If you are only doing a few months then it’s a good option.

Looking forward to your Poros video! I’ll be spending a few weeks there this summer.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

Hopefully I will make it!

@Rousseau4469 4 месяца назад

Well the distance between Poros and Galatas is so small that I doubt it has a ferry. At best a big boat or a speedboat is doing all the transportation. Don't know though if there are buses for Athens but for sure a taxi can transport someone to Corinth and from there you certainly can take a bus to the Central station by Kifisos river.

@agirlandherpassport 4 месяца назад

There are small ferries that run between Galatas and Poros. There are buses to Galatas. I would never mention this if it wasn’t based on research.

Girl, I don't own a "suitable" cold weather coat / jacket. Can you tell me if I can get by with just wearing a thick hoodie with a windbreaker on top of it? lol lol Thank you. :D

The old Athens has nothing to do with the Athens of today. In 2000 and after, many illegal immigrants and people from Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Albania, Georgia entered Greece, crime increased sharply, there are areas in Athens that have become ghettos and you cannot pass through there, in general there is the image of Athena is very spoiled

@3:04. I see the concessions stand. They sell all BUT water. A big scam if you ask me.

I think the water is sold in a vending machine. It is at the other entrance.
