My travel guide for Athens, my first time visiting this iconic city in Greece.
Believe it or not, I have never visited Greece. My European record is shocking, and it is time to make that right. I hopped on a flight from Canada to London, met my mum at the airport, stayed the night in a hotel, and then embarked on a two-week trip to Greece. My plan to kick it off? Athens! I want to see as many of the must-do sites in the city as possible. I am hoping this will help you first-time Athenians.
Athens, a city that uniquely blends ancient history with modern vibrancy, is a treasure trove of experiences. This guide will lead you through the most captivating aspects of Athens, from exploring its rich historic sites to indulging in its delectable local cuisine. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a culinary adventurer, or simply eager to immerse yourself in the local culture, Athens promises an unforgettable journey.
The biggest lesson I learned from my time in Athens is how good the food is outside the city center. Our Airbnb was situated outside the main Monastiraki Square, so we delved into the local haunts to grab coffee, breakfast, and dinner in the evenings.
Although not in this video (she is holding the camera), my mum came with me for the long weekend. So, nothing too heavy. We just saw all the sites on our list, enjoyed the mild weather, and enjoyed the low number of tourists in the month of December.
We bought the Athens Pass, set off on our feet, and explored this great city. Unfortunately, we couldn't fit everything in for the three-day long weekend, but we gave it a good go!
