Great overview of Athens! Some of these sights we didn't get to, but will have to remember if we ever go back. We bought a pass online for the Acropolis and went right when it opened to try and avoid the crowds. So glad we did after seeing the lines you had to be in. Looks like you've been to a lot of amazing places!
Just checked out your channel btw, and you’re doing a good job! We realized a mistake we made on this Athens video based on yours, that we’ll note. Happy traveling!
Our mistake: We misidentified a theater on the Acropolis. The theater that we said was the Theatre of Dionysus was actually the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, constructed in 161 AD, and was the last new construction undertaken on the Acropolis. Reopened in 1920, it is used for musical performances today.
@@verawhite1586 Summer clothes and some autumn for the October days! The rich areas in Athens: Kolonaki, Kifisia, Ekali, Glifada, Psihiko. Go shopping in the Mall (Neratziotissa station), Attica department store (in the center) or Golden Hall (Marousi). In Monastiraki find A for Athens, you drink your coffee in the roof garden with Acropolis view.
@@verawhite1586 Also there is Pireaus (Marina Zeas, Mikrolimano) near the sea and Paraliaki (Voula, Glifada, Vouliagmeni). Please don't just stay in the center, move all around in these elegant places I mentioned. Even Agia Paraskevi has nice coffee shops (I remember one with a swimming pool) in Agiou Ioannou street, which leads to the American College of Greece (Deree).
WOW! That was quite a trip! I can’t wait to see where you will go next🤔
Thanks, Suzanne! Quebec is next.

Sounds like your pass was the way to go. I’d love to go back knowing more now. Thanks so much for viewing!

Great video! Was it hot?
Yes it was!
@@RonBevRetirement We will be in Greece mid September thru the beginning of October. Do you recommend warm weather clothes?
