We stayed at the Greece U Around hotel, close to the observatory. it was extremely good value and a 10-15 minute walk from monastiraki and the acropolis. We spent €223 for four nights in march and our room included a proper kitchen and access to free self-service laundry onsite. Highly recommended
I’m new to your show, Tiffany. I certainly enjoy the details in your video. I’m still planning a short stay in Athens after cruising from Italy and the Islands.
Well I'm booked at a hotel Monasteryaki. Yes the street view looks like it can be crowded. Getting there will be interesting. I'll have to find your other videos talking about getting from the port to our hotel and from the hotel to the airport @agirlandherpasport
Thanks so much for your enlightening video. I am planning a short trip to greece , 6 days . Only plan to visit Athens and Santorini. I plan to go to Budapest after Santorini. Do you think its better to go to budapest from Santori or from Athens. Much appreciate your advice . Thank you.
Visited someone at a hotel in Omonia once. Definitely sketchy, but, frankly, is DisneyWorld compared to where I grew up (DC). I was warned by a few Greeks about there being "lots of immigrants" there. Yeah, I saw plenty of folks there who did not look Greek (LOL), but, again, it was pretty uneventful.
Hi i am a local nice video.Have you ever been close to kallimarmaro stadium is close to pagrati-mets region the stadium is nice if you want to see it.Omonoia know has many shops that have been closed and when the offices are closing 9p.m. its lonely
@@agirlandherpassport also i am working in a travel office if you want a one day tour to places near athens some are to islands some are to beaches near athens let me a way to communicate email or phone
Hi, I'm hoping to come to Athens and the Cyclades next month. I've watched several of your videos and really appreciate the information. Your videos are great. 👍🏻🙂
I stayed at Epidavros hotel in Omonia square. It was great.I was around the corner from the fountain and all the coffee shops.Walking distance from monastiraki and plaka.Gazi is also within walking distance with more bars and restaurants.
It is still not an area I would recommend to people for a trip here or Gazi. It is fine but also as a rough feel. It can also be very loud at night in Gazi with the clubs.
@A Girl and Her Passport its not in the neighbourhood of gazi..its about a 20 minute walk..only the coffee shops and eateries are around the corner.Monastiraki is about 20 minute walk as well in the other direction down Athena avenue..Yes the area looks a bit dodgy but not dangerous..The hotel was very nice though.
Your video popped up first when I opened YT! Finally. Lol I was having to search for them for awhile before. I rented a really nice Airbnb apartment across from the Acropolis museum for nine days for this August. It’ll be hot but I’ll survive!
Yay! Make sure you have the notifications turned on that way you will get a little red dot when a new one comes out. Oh that will be great! Sometimes its not so bad in Athens in August. But I also love the heat. LOL!
@@agirlandherpassport btw, I initially had booked a place in Monastiraki, but I cancelled that and booked this new apartment. I just felt safer for walking at night.
Hello Tiffany- Can you recommend a tour agency for trips to Metora by car or minivans. We do not want to rent a car or take the train🥶We Are traveling to Greece on September . Thank you
Yes of course! It is called Welcome Pickups, www.welcomepickups.com/athens/airport-transfer-book/?tap_a=81984-3dc5a2&tap_s=2082833-652438 I use them all the time.
Great tips Tiffany! Thanks for another informative video. I was wondering if there are any local or artisanal goods that are worth picking up in Athens or Greece in general?
You're welcome! Much of it food things that I would recommend so I guess it depends on what country you are returning to and if that is allowed. There are some kitchen items in some places made of olive wood that would be cool. If you are on an island that produces ceramics, that could be nice but either need to be shipped or packed carefully! And lots of people buy handmade Greek sandals!
@@agirlandherpassport thank you so much! Great suggestions. I’m very intrigued by the olive wood items because we don’t see too much of those in Canada.
Hi, I have a question about the nature of the greek society when treating women is it a bit sexist? Cause I’ve been thinking about living in Greece and as a woman this is an important thing to know before moving there. Thank you.❤
Thanks for the video. I have a bunch of Marriott points that would make for a nice week stay in Moxy Athens on Omonia Square. All the reviews on all the different travel sites say it is great. Is Omonia Square that scawry? 🥺. Thanks
It depends on if you are a city person or not. If you are from a big city, then you might consider it just fine. If not you might be uncomfortable especially at night. There are several Marriott brand hotels in Athens so definitely look around.
@@agirlandherpassport Indeed! However there are some comfy apartments thru Booking to be had in the Koukaki area for those who do not like crowds. Seems a cozy apartment can be had for less than a hotel in some cases. Much work to be done before September. If planning is this much fun the actual trip will be a blast!! Thanks for all your hard work and videos they have been very helpful.
My family and I are going to Greece next month. We will be staying in Athens and one or two of the islands. Are there good outdoor cafes or street food you recommend in Athens?
@@agirlandherpassport Thank you. We are thinking about renting a car at the airport, may be stay at an air bnb at the beach and drive to Athens city center for the attractions and restaurants.
@@marinasimonian9776 I would not recommend driving into Athens. Parking is difficult. I would take public transportation or a taxi. If you are going to an island, skip the beach in Athens.
