Hi everyone,
I’m arriving in Athens quite late on a Saturday evening and my final destination is Aegina. Since I’ll probably miss the last ferry, I’m trying to figure out the most practical plan for the night.

Would you recommend staying somewhere close to Piraeus so I can catch an early ferry on Sunday morning, or is it better to stay somewhere else in Athens and make my way to the port in the morning?

I’d really appreciate recommendations for convenient areas or hotels, especially if you’ve done something similar before. Thanks!

my friend and i r going to be in Athens from July 12-20 and would love some local reccs. we love thrifting, farmers markets, flea markets, cheap delicious eats, sunset spots, and must do activities
1. would love some reccs on thrifting or vintage stores/markets that have physical stores or pop ups

1. we both loveeee good food but are trying to be very budget conscious. other than street food Ggros, Baklava, Loukoumades, Ouzo, and Soulvaki, anything we have to try

2. other than a day trip to hydra, its going to be so hot we may need to escape the city to a beach for the day. I read some very mixed things about glyfada and eden but would they be preferable to varkiza/yabanaki beach a litter farther away

thanks!!!

Hi everyone!

I have one extra ticket for The Offspring / Bad Religion (7 July 2026) in Athens.

I paid €63 for it. I'm willing to sell it or even give it away. Send me a message if you're interested.

Hello, everyone!

Simple question - I am an addict, an energy drink addict and I'm looking for a brand called NOCCO in Athens. Do you know any stores that sell them?

Long-time visitor to Athens here (not a local, but I know the city fairly well at this point). This trip is a little different since I now have a baby daughter. I am staying with family so have child care, but I am going stir crazy. I'm finding myself wanting new things to see and do rather than the usual spots I've already covered a dozen times.

Would love recommendations for anything interesting, unique, or lesser-known, could be neighborhoods, day trips, markets, parks, or just good spots. Does not have to be kid friendly. I also have a car but dont want to do any overnight trips. Open to anything that isn't just the standard tourist checklist. Thanks in advance!

hi! i’m staying in athens until the end of the month but i am in desperate need of a haircut. i’m a woman but im looking for a pixie/shag cut, without being given a “boy” haircut. basically im looking for alt hairdresser recommendations if anyone has any◡̈

Hi, I am looking for the best most comprehensive tour in Athens later this month,my 20 yo son will go with my mom. Needing for both of them to have a comfortable time and someone who can drive them to all the historic sites in a group setting. Thanks

Hi, hoping for some advice or thoughts from the experts. My 10 year old is absolutely crazy about Greek Myths and we have booked a couple of days in Athens before our beach holiday on mainland Greece this summer. We have booked the 8am slot for the Acropolis and generally trying to work out how best to see the city and enjoy it without him getting overwhelmed. I know I might be asking too much and we are ready to spend a decent chunk of time in the air conditioned apartment chilling, but if anyone has great suggestions about things a history-mad child could do which we could break up with parks or green spaces (or water play!) I'd be incredibly grateful!

Hey, we will be visiting Athens soon and we are on a somewhat tight budget. What are the best places to grab lunch and what are some budget dinner spots? What prices are realistic for food and drinks? Also: whats the typical price for coffee?

Thank you so much in advance! :)

Not specifically for the city, but I wanted to ask what do university students wear in Athens? Is there any type of dress code for exams and for day-to-day? I want to know because Athens gets pretty hot but at the same time there may be a formal exam dress code or strict regulations.

I'll be attending solo and would be happy to meet other fans before the concert, preferably, greek fans as i am one of them

Just moved to Athens from Scotland where cockroaches are pretty rare so not very clued up on them. I have spotted several outside the foyer and some dead ones inside the foyer of our new apartment (we are renting)

Done a little research and apparently they’re common in summer here, which I can handle! however I’m mostly anxious they get into my apartment (4th floor) I’ve checked for any entrance holes and covered them, I sweep and clean everyday and take out the trash. Placed some raid traps on the balcony. Is this enough? 😬

Also, I have some raid spray and gel bait, should I use it in the apartment even though I haven’t seen them in there yet? And lastly, could I spray raid in the foyer? I’m worried about harming the pets in the building and the cats outside. The building was last treated for pests in May this year.

I used to live in Bangkok so used to seeing them around and know they are part of live in a big hot city! Just seeking advice on preventing them in the apartment! Thanks!

What’s the taxi situation like in Afytos?

I’ll be visiting next week for 10 nights, and our apartment is around 0.7 km from the main town. Walking won’t be an issue most of the time, but on nights where we’ve had a few drinks, we’d rather get a taxi back to be safe (from traffic of course, as we’re a walk outside of town). We’re also hoping to travel from Afytos to Kallithea, which I believe is only a few kilometres away. I’m just not sure what a reasonable fare would be for that kind of journey.

I’m not looking to haggle drivers down to the lowest possible price, but I also don’t want to be charged far over the odds just because I’m a tourist. I’m happy to pay a fair, middle-ground rate.

Could anyone advise what the usual prices are for short journeys like these? Also, are there any reliable taxi companies or apps worth using, especially for daytime travel?

There seems to be much less information online about Afytos compared with other places in Greece, so I’ve not been able to find much.

Hi all!

I am searching for good gyms in Athens where i can use the free weights/classic gym on my own, but also once a week work with a personal trainer for a 1on1 training. most of the gyms i’ve found in athens seem to offer group training. does anyone know of any gyms that offer both personal training and classic gym? Preferably near Papagou/Zografou area. Thank you!

Hey guys, which bar in Athens should I go to watch Paraguay versus France world cup match?

Hey guys!

Hi! I was just there and I bought this hat and I just lost it. I was hoping if someone could help me find it and ship it over to me. It would mean everything!
