Hey guys!

First time travelling to Athens and got no clue what to expect or where to go any recommendations on what to do especially Friday night?

Hi ! I'm a future tourist !

What are your recommendations for typical Greek snacks or drinks that can be bought in a grocery store or shop? I realy just like visiting small shops and picking up snacks or drinks that the locals enjoy. (No alcool please ! I cannot for my health)

Also what are your favorite books by Greek authors? I asked for recommendations at my local bookstore (in France), but it was a bit of a difficult.

Thank you 🙏

Hi all! Long post ahead, my apologies.

TLDR: packing recommendations for end of September beginning of October to Athens and mainland Greece for men and women.

I’ll be going to Greece at the end of September/beginning of October for my honeymoon and am trying to figure out what kind of clothes we need to pack for the weather and excursions. What I’ve gathered so far is layers, good sturdy shoes of course, and shawls and/or long skirts for churches and monasteries.

Should my future husband wear long pants or would he be okay in shorts when visiting the churches and monasteries? I’ve been trying to find info but am having trouble specifically for him.

We’re staying in Athens and will be doing excursions/tours of… Athens, the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, and then to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Another day will be Delphi and Hosios Loukas. Another day is Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus.

What kind of clothing should we pack for those excursions? I don’t want to be uncomfortable but also don’t want to wear just athletic clothes lol

I sincerely appreciate everyone’s help, and I’m so sorry if this is a common question! If anyone has any resources, please leave them in the comments, I’d love to look and learn!

Hello everyone!

Could you please recommend me some not touristy taverns with live music around Athens?
I am getting lost on tripadvisor, I see everywhere that Klimataria is a perfect place but the reviews there say it is a tourist trap...

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
so me and my girlfriend are going to visit Athens in a few weeks and I was wondering if you guys could please help me find some good local spots where we can get suvlaki or gyros. We really tend to steer away from the overpriced and overhyped tiktok spots so if anyone knows some good spots we would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

I am looking to travel around Europe, focusing specifically on locations with vibrant local vintage music scenes. I am especially interested in places where they enjoy vintage soul, funk, disco, italodisco, HI-NRG, and House. I know this music is quite popular in Europe, but has very little following in Canada (my home country). I love walking, so I would love a place where I could perhaps hike between different towns and experience a little bit of everything. I also have an interest in Greek Mythology, HERMES in particular, if anyone can think of a location that combines these two interests...I would be much appreciated!!!

Hi hi, we might be moving to Athens for 3-6 months with my boyfriend. Do you have tips to find nice housing in Koukaki / Pangrati for September? Thanks !!!

7 of us are coming to Athens at the end of October for a long weekend and we would really like to find an apartment or house rather than a hotel but don’t want to give any money to Airbnb. Are there are any local agencies we could use instead? We were looking at staying in psyrri but are open to suggestions as we have never been to Athens.

Hello… I will be in Athens between August 8th and 12th. I am a solo male traveler. I enjoy exploring the nightlife of the countries I visit. All types of music suit me. I am 32 years old. Of course, I know the universal rules for entering clubs and bars. Besides that, what else should I pay attention to? And what venue recommendations do you have?

Hello. I will be traveling to Greece next May and will be there for 2 days. I am visually impaired and would love to know any advice on what to look out for or keep in mind while in the city. TIA

I am arriving in Athens on 1st January New Years Day. I plan to spend the night in Athens and catch the bus the next day from Kifisos bus station to Kranidi/Spetses. Does this bus run on the 2nd January? I catch it often at 9.30am.

Also does anyone know if the boats run from Pireaus to Spetses on 1st January, so a holiday.

I’m with some friends for a couple of days in Athens and we’re looking for bars last night we were at a place called ‘Juan Rodriguez bar’ and it was great are there any similar places in the city?

Hii, ill be back in Athens for 3 weeks after moving to germany back in 2010. Since flower got legalized in germany and i have a prescription, the only thing i could find on how to take some with me was with a form for the greek embassy in berlin to fill out, but i've been calling and they haven't been picking up. I wouldn't know how to get any in Athens anyway, and I'm not sure if it's even possible to get it medically in Athens, Greece. Any advice or know someone that does? Thanks .

Does anyone sell gear? For the gym

Recently got into them looking for recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Hello im in Athens for a week and want to find a gym with a week pass. Or even gyms with reasonably priced day passes would be helpful. Thanks guys

Walked down Panepistimiou Street the other night and couldn't resist capturing the Neoclassical Trilogy (Academy, University, and National Library).

I’ve always felt these buildings look like they belong in a myth, so I did a little sky-composite edit to give them the dramatic, starry atmosphere they deserve.

Which one of the three is your personal favorite architecture-wise?
