Sent through passport control and customs on flight from Athens to Nice? Today I flew from ATH to NCE on Aegean. Upon landing everyone was sent through passport control, travelers who only had their ID were confused, and my passport (USA) was stamped again, so I have two entry stamps and in a week I’ll get one exit stamp when I return home. And our bags were delivered to the bag claim within the customs area. Further…

Is it know who was the first to do the “Moon over Ancient Athens ruins” photograph? Not hating on the trend. But I find it fascinating that every Full Moon, there is a photo of its full disk rising above the ruins of Athens or other Greek ruins.

I’d like to take this time to see another city, and for logistical reasons I’ve narrowed it down to these two cities. I was originally just looking at Athens, but the only flight from the country I’m in has a layover…

Disabled travel in Athens, Greece Hey all, I am in the process of trying to organise a long haul trip for my family and when I poked around and ask about less developed destinations, all I get told is ‘don’t come, not accessible’ So I thought I would make an AMA about disabled travel in Greece to help out any travellers who might be using a wheelchair. Travel should be for all a…

Thoughts on Athens I’m currently in Athens and I have never seen a more unique city in my life. The plaka (spelling?) area and some other touristy streets are some of the most stunning and beautiful I’ve seen in Europe and then you go one block over and you’ll have homeless everywhere, garbage and literal prostitutes on the corner. I’ve never seen such varying deg…

Any great multi-day tours from Rome to Athens? I’ve been thinking about the idea of my family and I traveling to Italy and maybe Greece next year in either May or June 2025.

Does flying to Athens sound like a good idea for a family vacation? And if it does, I’d greatly appreciate any advices regarding where to stay to have a good access to a decent beach. I’ve heard there are islands nearby like Poros for example. Is it worth to stay there rather than in Athens? (Flying to Athens seems to be _noticeably_ cheaper then to places like Rhodes.) Thank you! submitted by /u/EgorKlen…

I’ve got about 3 weeks to spend travelling between the eastern med (probably from Athens) and Tokyo. Where would should I go? With wife and teen in tow we are leaning toward jumping to Dubai and on to SEA maybe Phuket, Vietnam, Malaysia and up towards Japan. I’d like to minimize travel times so that will limit the number of destinations. It’s all new to me but I like an efficient travel path! The budget is maybe $12K – $15K USD. No India or war zones please (level 1 or…

Getting from Paris to Athens Edit: I’ve been to Germany, Italy, and Austria, so my goal would be to try to incorporate other countries instead of those ones if possible and if it makes geographic sense.
