Thank you so much for brining us along on your adventures. It’s almost like I’m there
You’re welcome! So glad you are enjoying them!
Thanks for sharing.GreetingfromTokyo.
You're welcome!
I really enjoy your content! Loved the art exhibition!
Thank you so much!
Forget about nyc subway,it's not safe any more,something is going on every day, and during the day,forget about it at nite..... nice video, I enjoy, every video.
Thank you!
Thanks for another fun video! I'm looking forward to your Tinos video. Stay healthy.
You’re welcome. I’m excited as well. Trying very hard!
PS!!! LOVE your videos!!
Thank you!!
I love your videos! I have always wanted to live in Greece since I was 11 and you are an inspiration ! I love Laïka and Rebetika music. Whoa! You are an Athens Transit athlete and do NOT BLAME YOU FOR NOT WANTING TO BE STUCK AT OMONIA AT NIGHT LOL!
Haha! The Athens metro isn't hard but it definitely takes some skills to navigate late at night.
@@agirlandherpassport lol 😂 haha right?!
It’s always nice to see a nice video from my the old country Athens Greece 🇬🇷 next year 2023 it will be 50 years that I and parents last visit all together in my hometown Chania Crete. So hopefully I will be visiting in 2023 ..thank you again for your video and see the little upgrade of Athens
Thank you so much!!
great video! glad to see the great weather!! enjoy
Thank you! Finally getting better weather
@@agirlandherpassport i am visiting Athens in September and bringing my 26 year old youngest son for the first time! Since I plan to retire there in a few years, he may come with me (he has autism so he lives with me now). I hope he loves it! Can't wait to see your video of Easter festivities!
I hope he loves it too! I am so excited to be in Tinos for Easter.
We are leaving for Greece in 4 weeks for 3 weeks...wahoo! We are starting in Chania, then Santorini, Naxos, Milos and then Athens. Can't bloody wait!!!!!!!!!!! Oh by the way, love your videos. Thanx
Sounds like an amazing trip!! Thank you!!
Glad to see you visiting SNFC and of course it’s terrace that has great view. Tinos is indeed a fine place to be for Eastern. By the way I have 2 cousins from there, one of which is married with an American and they stay almost permanently on the island. Next year if all goes well and you are still in Greece, take my advice and travel to Corfu to watch out their Eastern customs. They throw clay pots of their balconies on the central square of the main city (trying to symbolise the noise and the shake of the earthquake that happened during Christ’s crusifiction) and they have many philarmonican bands (around 18 if I remember correctly) that play accordingly themes at that day (Saturday before Eastern). When the weather becomes hot enough that at night time isn’t cold to stay out a visit to Castella hill of Piraeus for the view. Better a dinner to one of the taverns in the area. It has the best view of the whole south suburbs of Athens overseeing all the coastal front.
I wanted to go to Corfu but the flights were too expensive. I will have to book early!
@@agirlandherpassport Yes. It’s the most popular destination among Greeks every Eastern. I forgot in my comment to mention a must visit to the village of Pirgos in Tinos specifically to the house of the biggest sculptor of the modern years in Greece. This was Giannoulis Halepas. Also a stroll to the village will reveal the few but important and sculptors remaining to the island which has a vast tradition to this art form.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!!
Enjoy Tinos! Right next to Andros, my family’s island. See you in Greece August 11!
I’m so excited!! You are getting so close.
There is a big beautiful church on Tinos. The Easter celebration on this island is one you will never forget!
That is the plan!
Good to know about the hotel. It stinks to get up so early and be stressed trying to get to the port on time.
It is! Especially in the summer when the ferry is packed!
I saw the spider in Bilbao guggenheim museum in 2005
It has been all over the world! It’s great.
Hi Tiffany, I love your passion for Greece. After 3 years we leave start of June for a 2 month trip to this beautiful country visiting Athens, Paros, Naxos, Peloponnesus, Zakinthos, kefalonia, Corfu I love Greece in fact obsessed by it. Keep up the videos love your work. 😘
Thank you so much! That sounds like a great trip.
Your travel updates helped us to have a smooth, stress free entry into Greece. We are here now and are enjoying the holiday weekend in Mykonos. We do have to go back to Piraeus to catch a ship in a week. Is this the only hotel you would recommend? We get back into Athens after 7pm for one night and would like to know if you have any further recommendations for night life or hotels in that area. Looking forward to your Easter video.
I am so happy to hear that! I have only stayed at one other hotel and it was too far to walk from my gate at the port. Is there a reason you don't want to stay at that hotel or is it booked? There isn't much in that area of Piraeus. Take the metro into Athens if you want to have a night out. It doesn't take long and drops you right in Monastriaki.
@@agirlandherpassport We leave out of terminal A and I see that there are hotels that are closer so I just wondered if you might have any experiences with the other hotels (I’m always looking at my options). I can’t seem to tell where the metro station comes up and we will be flying in from santorini and taking the metro to the pier area I think. I thought the restaurant that you ate at looked like fun for dinner so we may very well stay at your hotel. How far of a wolf from the metro? Do you know if they will shuttle us to terminal A?
Oh, you are on a cruise ship then. That is not really close to this hotel. My advice would be to take a taxi from the cruise terminal to the hotel no matter where you stay as terminal a is further away. The metro is not near the cruise terminal. I don't know about a shuttle for the cruise as I haven't done one here.
Thanks for sharing...Im trying to plan a move to Greece so its so informaive. and helpful...what worries me is : Can I afford it?!!!!...would be really good to know how much things that you do and cost....travel tickets...lovely dinners out...a weekly shop...entrance fee to museums ..just living would be so useful
Thanks again xx
You’re welcome! An updated cost of living video is coming soon. 😊
The moment I saw the place you went to in the end, I knew this would happen! Smoking indoors is forbidden by law, at all times, but sadly some people don't respect it in Greece. Btw I smoke too but never indoors, it sucks and the smell is just awful 😖
But to be fair it used to be much worse. Just about 10-15 years you would see people smoking literally anywhere..
Anyhow, cool video! Enjoy your time in Athens and hope you have a great trip to Tinos! 🌊 ☀️
It was interesting because it didn’t bother me at the time which is unusual. I don’t experience smoking inside often here so it is definitely less common than it used to be. Even my friends were going outside at first. Thank you!
2:01 Experianced athenian
Thanks! Metro strategies 😉
Awesome video tiffany of a bit of night-life in athens Gotta say your a gutsy lady walking alone in athens in the middle of the night Look forward to seeing Easter in tinos
Thank you! Why? There is hardly anything to worry about here.
I was thinking the same thing. It's midnight and a lady walking alone on a dark street distracted.
How was good friday? Oh yes i remember this area when I was staying on Eromou in January. I also stayed a
few days in China town not
to far from the train station. Yikes lol
I am in Tinos for Easter but it was amazing here. It will be in next week's video. I was more worried about not getting a taxi than anything else.
🙏😊
😊😊😊
Thank you for all the great info about Greece. I too am planning on moving to Greece next year in September. My wife is Greek and I'm not. What recommendations would you give for me to stay there longer than the previous times .
You're welcome! Is your wife a Greek citizen?
My wife was born in California but was raised in Greece. Both of her parents are greek national and sh dose have a tax id.
@@agirlandherpassport My wife was born in California but was raised in Greece. Both of her parents are Greek native and she has a tax ID when she was working there.
I think you will need ask a lawyer or the embassy. You would need to register your marriage in Greece and get a resident permit after. I am not sure how that all works though. I’m not here because of heritage.
Awesome video 👌🏽
What's the best/easy way to get to the center from Koukaki? Thanks!
It’s pretty central so you can walk or take the metro
@@agirlandherpassport sorry that was a poorly phrased question, I meant The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center 😊
The bus is the best way. From Koukaki you can take the number 5. 😊
Then you will have to walk. There is a shuttle bus that leaves from Syntagma but I have never found it
@@agirlandherpassport thank you so much for responding. Is the bus station at the Syngrou station or around there? I am useless when it comes to navigating public transportation 😒
Coming next week for about 8 days... should I get Euros here in the US or wait til I get to Athens? we will be in Athens on the 12th.
Just get them at a bank ATM here. That will offer you the best rate.
We are staying at hotel Tritan in two weeks! What's the restaurant you went to? Would love suggestions ☺️
It’s called To Steki Artemis. There is a link in the description 😊
You walked from Piraeus to Syntagma you lost your mine? that's at least 7 kilometres
09:38 relatively close to my neighborhood although typically that place is considered Argyroupoli. So, does SNFCC have a no "flight zone" or what?
It just says it’s not allowed without approval. But they have lots of guards so I didn’t dare try.
@@agirlandherpassport i don't like the "vibe" of the ownership of that place
Yeah, I haven’t always had good experiences there. This time was better.
@@agirlandherpassport 4:27 they're already behind schedule and most likely there will be some more delay as they've presumably found some antiquities.
In two feet of dirt! I hope not
what masks are required on public transport? heard they may be a strike as well. thoughts??
You need to wear two or an NFP or FFP2 mask. Yes, there is a 24 hour strike today but not on the metro.
We are headed there from Canada for 2 months in the spring!! Any chance you could recommend a place in Athens to rent a campervan for our trip? We have heard its sketchy to rent online because of fake motorhome rental companies.
I am not an expert on this and have never done it. I do know of one company called Rolling Turtles, but I don't know anything about them. rolling-turtles.com/
@@agirlandherpassport Thank you!!
You’re welcome
Can't help but notice people on the street actually seem to be rushing a bit. Is it because of the economy? How are you dealing with this inflation problem in Greece? How much money do you have to spend if you choose to live frugally?
I didn’t notice anyone rushing. Food and electricity has gotten more expensive. It really depends on your lifestyle. Frugal won’t be much of a life in Greece.
@@agirlandherpassport yikes. But I heard people are paid a lot less in Greece compared to other EU countries😿
I llcome to Greece next month.. Did they still use mask every where and did police ask you to use it if you do not have
Only inside is the mask required.
@@agirlandherpassport and if I haven't ll not allow me inter
In most places, yes.
@@agirlandherpassport thank you so much for your help
You’re welcome.
So they decided to allow cigarette smoking - rules be damned???
It’s Greece, rules are just guidelines. 😂
@@agirlandherpassport LOL. Yeah, I know. Just the creative parking I have often seen is evidence of that.
