What’s up with the National Archeological Museum in Athens? Has anyone experienced a massive queue of 2 hours wait despite having buyed tickets in advance? I thought summer was the high season, however the museum has one of the most horrifying queues I have ever experienced. Not even the likes of the Louvre, Orsay or the British Museum. Don’t come during April week days at 9 am because you won’t get in….

2.5 days in Athens vs 1.5 days in Athens Hi there. I’m planning whether I should spend 2.5 days or 1.5 days in Athens. The reason is I would need to take a flight either at late night or early morning (late / early enough to make a day’s difference). I’m skipping the museums because I don’t enjoy looking at displays I’m only interested in food, scenery and ancient history. I’m not int…

9 nights in mid November – where to go after Thessaloniki: Athens or Northern Greece? Hello everyone, we will be two people flying to Thessaloniki because there are no direct flights to Athens. We will be arriving on the 10th of November. We will definitely be spending 2-3 days to visit Thessaloniki. My original plan was to go to Meteora for two days after that, then return to Thessaloniki and visit Olympus, Edessa, Vergina, may…

Athens – update on how the combined pass to Acropolis and other sites’s timing works. Learn from my mistake! Briefly – in Athens, you can opt for either a single pass for a single site (e.g. the Acropolis link), or the Ancient Agora link) with timed entry, or a combined pass for zeven archaeological sites in Athens (link, also called Athena’s Combined Ticket or probably other names). The combined ticket also asks for a time for entry, but doesn’t speci…

Athens for 6 days in late October and wanted to get suggestions on: Itinerary We were looking at staying in Athens at least 3, maybe 4 days before taking day trips. Does this sound ok? Day trips suggestions welcome. Accommodations With only six days, should we get a hotel for the entire duration in Athens or look at some other region/area also if we spend some time elsewhere? Suggestions on mid-range places welc…

Where to go for a week this month before starting a new job between Iceland, Lisbon, Portugal or Athens Greece? I’m starting a new job and would like to get away for a week at the end of this month. The dilemma is where to go. We love picturesque landscapes, historic buildings, unique experiences, learning about culture and couple nice meals wouldn’t hurt. Ideally a stress free week since my new job is going to be full of that. Also open to other places a…

Would a 2-week London -> Paris -> Rome -> Athens trip be too much? Some friends and I are planning on going to Europe next year and none of us have been to Europe before. We want to see as many cities as possible but don’t want to be too rushed – would it be possible to properly the 4 cities listed, in that order, or are they too intense/far apart? Would other cities be better for a first trip to Europe? (Also,…

Trip Report: 4 days in Athens Was in Greece for a couple weeks, in four locations, so figured I’d share some small feedback and thoughts. Metro was super easy and intuitive to use. Everything is clearly marked and in English. many people warned me about pick pockets so it must be a thing. Literally I even had a Greek man come up to me and say my wallet looked too vulnerabl…
