I hardly ever leave comments but I do watch all of your videos and it's my favorite channel about Greece. When possible, I'll be there and because of your tips I know I will enjoy the most the places. I'm considering, when I finally manage to go, May. I'm from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro and it's very hot here so I don't think I want to go there during the summer 😅
Little known fact: It's colder in the shade because weather temperatures are given in the shade. On sunny days the temperature in the sun can be up to 10 celsius / 18 farenheit warmer than what the weather report says depending on various factors like time of day. This is true all over the world.
A good tip is that from March to October, every first Sunday of each month every sate owned museum and all archaeological sites are free... Be careful though because the lines can be immense...
It is but as you say they can be crowded. The archaeological sites are okay as they are outside but I have been in the National Archaeological museum on a free day and it was crazy crowded.
I was just in Athens two weeks ago and I loved it. One week wasn’t enough to visit all the sites. I didn’t get to see Delphi and the Meteora. The people spoke English. I felt safe. I stayed at The Athens Gate Hotel. Just walking distance to the acropolis. You can also find the statue of Melina Mercouri. Greece is rich with history. Brought me back to my Greek mythology class in college. Can’t wait to come back ❤
I binge watch your videos to get my GREEK FIX :) I honestly think that I might just leave Canada and move to Greece... Just for the food and weather! Thanks for you videos. I absolutely Love the way you share your impressions from the perspective of a non Greek person. Your suggestions have come in handy on my last trip. Keep it up :)
Thank you for this video, I like that your videos are real and not touristy and over produced. I am coming to Athens in March for 4 days, and I'm wondering if you can recommend second hand shops. I am especially interested in vintage silk scarfs, and more elevated items, not the y2k or 90s stuff I saw in several videos. If you have recommendations on places to find vintage - I would really appreciate it!
You’re welcome. Thank you. I’m happy to hear that. Unfortunately that isn’t something I can help with. I’m not a shopper at all. Maybe someone else here is and can recommend something.
As always, great information and quality cinematography, Tiffany. I’ll look for the cat in October during my visit. Do you know if the scaffolding is up all year? It will be interesting to see if I can book tickets this far in advance. You rock, Tiffany!
We just arrived in Athens for a few months! We’ve been doing some exploring, and also gradually getting some grocery shopping done. People have been very helpful in the stores when we ask for info in English! Cheers :)
My favorite time of the year is Winter! Cold is 50s now that’s not cold! Can’t wait to come again and sit in my balcony and just look at my view! Blessed that my father saw the future of America! My boys can’t wait to move back home ! ❤
Thank you for sharing another great video. Your videos have been our evening viewing before we come to Athens in 3 weeks. Staying in Koukaki as we like the chilled neighbourhood vibe.
@@agirlandherpassport You are right, at least for southern Greece it is normal to have more of a "winter experience" in February and March, even snow by the coast every few years .
thank you for showing how nice Athens can be weatherwise in Feb. I would love to be there in Feb. Unfortunately, I hate the idea of getting stuck at the airport or international flight cancellation due to possible bad/severe weather in the mid-Atlantic region of the US in January and Feb. So March is earliest for me to start my travelling
Just started watching your videos and find them very informative. Do you know anything about the school system there for grade schoolers? Your response is greatly appreciated.
OK, thanks for responding. I spent and enjoyed a good 2 hours watching your videos 😊 and other videos too about Greece. I haven't been there, but would love to visit someday, Godwilling.
Thank you for this much-needed snippet of Athens in the winter. I've only ever gone in the summer months, and it was both to vacation and visit family. My dad just passed away, and I've been yearning to go and spend some time with my aunt (his sister) and my cousins. I would like to go sooner than later (like maybe late March/early April), but I would like it to be a *bit* warmer than it is now. In your experience, does it warm up a bit more by then? And are there any islands that are warm enough for swimming?
